Sum of Seven – Echoes of the Hypermind
Picking my favourite tracks was difficult because there isn’t a bad one amongst them. Influences are inevitable and sometimes obvious here and there but that doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a great album.

The Reticent – please
I cannot fault this latest release in any way. Five years has been a long time to wait for it but it’s well worth that wait. I and many others now need to wait with bated breath for whatever Chris comes up with next. It’s guaranteed to be excellent; his track record ensures that.

Scardust – Souls
There’s always a list of things to get right in order to make good music, to have a complete “product”. But beyond all those, Scardust’s music is an experience. And just like any real life experience, it’s hard to contain it within boundaries.

An Abstract Illusion – The Sleeping City
This is the sort of album where one play though is not enough, each subsequent listen reveals something else. You can head bang to it, brandish an air guitar or just lie down in a darkened room and listen.

Ihlo – Legacy
“With Legacy, Ihlo have taken a bold step into the upper echelons of modern progressive metal. Legacy is not just an album, but an emotional journey through bleak atmospheres, soaring melodies and unsettlingly relevant themes of control, consumerism and decay. Echoes of well known bands may resonate, but Ihlo’s voice is unmistakably their own: dramatic, immersive and deeply human.”

Connect the Circle – Wolf in the Sky
entirely instrumental. Taking up almost 20% of the album it is the most varied and pleasing track for me.
This is a band I haven’t come across before, but I’m glad I have now. I’m going to investigate their other albums because I feel that I might have missed out. It will be interesting to see what comes next because they have a penchant for telling stories in detail both lyrically and musically.

Eight Lives Down – Fates
What makes ‘Fates’ brilliant to me, is the subtle way of informing the listener about what they are hearing, and the coherence of lyrics, compositional choices and aesthetics.

Empyrean Sanctum – Detachment from Reality
I have no doubt that this album will be popular given enough exposure/publicity. Which of course is what we at the Progspace strive to do, especially for these relatively unknown bands. There is plenty of creativity, resulting in a mixture of styles from progressive metal to funk and much more, with a generous sprinkle of modern metal.

Fractal Universe – The Great Filters
“The Great Filters” is a great exploration of a question that has been inspiring astronomers, physicians, philosophers and conspiracy theorists alike. The album dives well into the matter, both lyrically and sonically.

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”.

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.
