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”!

Sunburst – Manifesto
It’s hard to beat great vocals and stunningly dexterous guitar playing backed up by a solid rhythm section. There are no doubt reasons why they have only produced two albums in 14 years. I hope the next one will be released before too long. If it’s as good as “Manifesto,” it will be well worth waiting for.

Ghost on Mars – Out of Time and Space
Well, what can I say? This is a stunner of a debut album. I can’t help thinking that these guys are perfect for festivals such as Progpower Europe. I would certainly welcome a chance to see them live. What have the Romans ever done for us? Need you ask? It goes without saying that I am looking forward very much to future works from them.

Haishen – Awaken the Endless Deep
The promising American trio Haishen released their debut full-length album, and it’s taking us to the depths of the sea, with intriguing musical and lyrical ideas. Very remarkable record, unique enough to turn heads.

Martin Gonzalez – Suspiro
“Suspiro” feels like an honest experiment. It’s wacky and weird, but it hits all the intended feels in unexpected ways.

Illumishade – Another Side of You
Illumishade’s “Another Side of You” is the ultimate hybrid of genres, sounds and emotions not just because of how many puzzle pieces it puts together, but because of how beautiful and coherent the final picture is.

Persefone – Lingua Ignota: Part I
They were always kings of odd time signatures, disrupted rhythmic songwriting and extreme technicality, so to see them scale down on these aspects was not something I was ready for. I was also afraid they’d just dilute their creativity to please a wider audience. But Persefone is as strong as it ever was, if not even stronger.
