Review by Greg Jones — In 2015 the always adventurous 3rDegree released what I assume will be their artistic peak. A completely fresh and uncategorizable concept album called Ones And Zeroes Pt 1, it sounded different every time I played it and still does. Working within the limits of niche band economics, they achieved this […]
Review by BrufordFreak — Man! these guys are tight! Man! is the production on this album amazing! Man! have these gotten better! Man! is this a confident band of young musicians, or what? Is this one of the best collections of entertaining, interesting, deeply layered, masterfully crafted and performed, and perfectly mastered songs ever created?!!! […]
Review by Matti — - First review for this album - Il Cerchio d'Oro is an Italian prog band that was founded already in 1974 but which didn't manage to sign a recording deal at the time. To the pleasure of all progheads enjoying the retro-style symphonic Rock Progressivo Italiano, the band re-activated in this […]
Review by b_olariu — A new entry in prog metal realm, italians New Horizons with debut Inner dislocation, released in2018 at italian label Revalve. Well, what we have here is the type of prog metal I like to listenconstantly, nice changes in tempo, musicianship is more then ok most of the time, nice vocal parts,in […]
Review by Alard Charlton — The best Progressive Metal in the universe ( my opinion folks, please don't get heated ) are back with what is probably their most ambitious album yet. The first thing you will notice is that vocalist Steven Wilson has departed from the ranks yet again, and back in the saddle […]
Review by javajeff — This is the most progressive of the three releases, and a sign that they found a signature sound. With a healthy does of sax, this release has so much variety that it should interest the most demanding prog ears. The first two albums are classified as Technical Death Metal, but Where […]
Review by kev rowland — Originally released digitally and on vinyl in 2017, this has now also been released on CD with some additional songs. This is the eighth full-length studio album by Russian band Vespero, and is the second in the 'Abyssinian Tales' series, following on from 2016's 'Lique Mekwas'. Apparently, 'shum-shir" is an […]
Review by Progrussia — By modern standards a second album in three years is a pretty torrid pace. But perhaps we reviewers do matter, and accolades for their 2016 opus Dawn of Eternity inspired them to keep up the flame. Crystal Palace's style has evolved over the years, but Scattered Shards continues in the similar […]
Review by Warthur — Hoping Against Hope finds Thinking Plague in their third album in a row of failing to make an impression on me. Solid though I consider their work up to In Extremis to be, their albums since then have felt a little too much like regurgitating the same-ol' Thinking Plague sound as […]
Review by FragileKings — I have known about Peter Matuchniak's music for a couple of years now ever since he appeared on Marco Ragni's 2016 album "Land of Blue Echoes" and I then got a hold of his two Gekko Projekt albums and his two solo albums. By coincidence, I was listening to them again […]
