What we have here is a well mixed, well produced live album (the first one I have listened to in a long time) and I can’t wait to watch the Blu-Ray.

“Night Echoes” invites you to watch the world through the main character’s eyes and ride the ebbs and flows of his emotions as he deals with a harrowing loss, guided by the ever onward chugging progressive metal train that is Hemina.

“Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape” is the best thing they have released to date. It is hard to imagine them making anything much better, because this album is superb, but who knows. They have packed so much stuff into these nine tracks, I hear something new each time I play this album.

Tiberius have a great deal of fun writing their stuff and have produced an excellent and enjoyable album with “A Peaceful Annihilation”.

Bruce Soord & Jon Sykes – The Power of Intimacy at Midsummer Prog Some musical discoveries stay with you for a lifetime. For me, that journey began in 2007, when I was photographing the Symforce Festival in Tilburg. While the festival's established names...
Amarok – A New Face of Polish Progressive Rock Midsummer Prog Festival – Maastricht Anyone who had been immersed in Quidam’s melancholic symphonic progressive rock the previous day was treated to a very different perspective on Polish progressive music on Sunday....
As a concert photographer, I always hope to capture an image that stays with me. A photograph that does not simply disappear into an archive but earns a permanent place among my favourites. That happened during Night of the Prog 2017, when I took a photograph of...
BEAT – Not a Museum Piece, but a Living Machine King Crimson has never been one fixed memory for me. I saw the later incarnation with three drummers in Antwerp: an impressive, almost ceremonial machine in which the repertoire unfolded as a broad musical landscape....
After URSA had opened the second day of Midsummer Prog with an energetic dose of modern progressive metal, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. Dublin's Overhead, The Albatross approached intensity from a completely different angle. Rather than relying on technical...
OK Goodnight – From a Promising Discovery to One of Progressive Music's Most Exciting Young Bands Midsummer Prog Festival – Maastricht (NL) One of the great strengths of Midsummer Prog is that it doesn't merely celebrate the history of progressive music; it also...
Some albums stand the test of time. Others become defining milestones that shape an entire musical genre. Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime unquestionably belongs to the latter category. When the concept album was released in 1988, it proved that heavy metal could...
Some concerts are experienced with your ears. Others are experienced just as much through your memories. Quidam’s performance at Midsummer Prog undoubtedly belonged to the latter category. My history with the band goes back almost twenty years. Ever since its...
Einar Solberg – Cinematic Progressive Rock Between Introspection and Intensity Following Quidam's melodic brand of neo-progressive rock, Midsummer Prog Festival took a striking stylistic turn. Einar Solberg did not arrive with a conventional progressive metal band,...
Airbag – melancholy, atmosphere and controlled intensity at 013 Next Summary In a well-filled 013 Next, Airbag delivered an intensely atmospheric performance built around melancholy, slow-burning tension and musical refinement. Following a strong opening set by...
Lesoir reveals renewed power in a packed 013 Next As support act for Airbag, Lesoir was given roughly forty minutes on stage in a packed 013 Next, but that proved more than enough to leave a remarkably strong impression. The band from Maastricht presented itself in...
The Gathering – Mandylion 30th Anniversary Tour Rockhal, Esch-sur-Alzette Summary Thirty years after the release of Mandylion, The Gathering proved in a nearly sold-out Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette why the band still holds such a unique place within the...
Overhead, Live at On the Rocks Helsinki | 06 May 2026
AmarantheHybrid metal and maximum impact After the atmospheric opening set by Charlotte Wessels, the evening at COS Torwar effortlessly shifts into a higher gear. As part of the Arcane Dimensions Tour, Amaranthe take the second slot on the bill — a position that...
Epica – Arcane Dimensions Tour @ COS Torwar, Warsaw Epica’s performance at COS Torwar in Warsaw marked the closing chapter of an evening that was opened by Charlotte Wessels and Amaranthe — two sets that are covered separately elsewhere on this website. Some bands...
Charlotte Wessels – Arcane Dimensions Tour @ COS Torwar, Warsaw (17.03.2026) The Arcane Dimensions Tour brings together three distinct faces of modern metal. At Warsaw’s COS Torwar arena, Epica and Amaranthe lead the bill, while Charlotte Wessels takes on the role...
Fallujah, Live at Backstage Munich, Feb. 20, 2026
At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why...
