Jinjer – Duél
I’ve been thinking of them as a metalcore band, but I think that label might’ve become obsolete by the time they made “Macro”.

Danefae – Trøst
With their second album, Danish metal band Danefae have dished up a fusion of progressive metal and traditional Nordic musical traditions. In short, it’s progressive metal with Danish lyrics. The album has a title of “Trøst” which translates as Solace and the songs are personal stories inspired by folk legends.

The Mourning – Hush
“Hush” displays a lot of compositional variety, and offers a strong throwback to prog metal classics while also keeping a unique sound and mixing in unexpected elements.

Vola – Friend of a Phantom
Anyone who’s familiar with the band’s previous work should know what to expect. They’re loyal to their sound and not exactly reinventing themselves with this album.

Mother of Millions – Magna Mater
“Magna Mater” is a very immersive and atmospheric album, but that does not mean it’s not heavy. Rather, all the heavy riff elements have a different purpose than you’d expect.

Charlotte Wessels – The Obsession
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Charlotte has like 3 masters and a PhD in the aesthetics of emotional vulnerability.

Simone Simons – Vermillion
“Vermillion” is an unexpected surprise, and a very welcome addition to the endlessly growing culture of symphonic and progressive metal that the Dutch are so good at.

Never Obey Again – Trust
If their output continues as it has so far, it will be hard to keep up with them. This is a happening band who you may well find on the line-up of a festival sometime soon. I hope I am lucky enough to be at one such event because I’m sure this material will transfer very well to the live environment.

Forever in Transit – A Coming to Terms
“A Coming to Terms” is sitting neatly between classic and modern progressive metal, with a sound that could be categorized as either.

Red Handed Denial – A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia
The iconic sound is still there, and the songs are still very catchy, but the composition seems less riff-driven, and many of the songs come across more mellow and vulnerable.

Haven of Echoes – Memento Vivere
I found it difficult to select my favourite tracks on this album because they are all excellent. So, I just picked the two longest ones, because you get more bang for your buck with those! When I reviewed their first album, I scored it 9/10 but this one is getting a 10.

Leprous – Melodies of Atonement
With the new album, “Melodies of Atonement”, the band from Norway offers an unmistakable Leprous experience – and it’s the one you want to dive into.

Kälad – Arkamine
I think what makes this album interesting is the way it manages to combine what may seem as pretty generic symphonic metal tropes with a modern djent and metalcore blend of sounds and heavy electronic effects.

Piah Mater – Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun
Fans of prog metal of the 70s-influenced flavour, complemented with a guttural edge, ornate instrumentation and a south American touch, should look no further than Piah Mater’s latest release “Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun”!
