Review by Rivertree — Nowadays it's not an easy task anymore to find a memorable band name. This necessarily also must correspond with some successful music output. Then you are on the right path. Their debut album 'Sensor' delivers a splendid blend of progressive styles. Kosmische electronics are available of course, but also psych, symphonic […]
Review by prog_traveller!! — Celeste is a band that was formed in 1972 but refounded and started again in 2016.Their last album "Il Principe del Regno Perduto" was released in 2020 and it represents the second full album of new material in the newest period of Celeste's history.The entire album represents original symphonic prog style. […]
Review by alainPP — KONOM was born after a change of line-up and in reference to Asimov. A sound mixing progressive metal and alternative rock in the tradition of groups such as PORCUPINE TREE, HAKEN, FROST *, TOOL, OPETH or KARNIVOOL. Beware a modern and playful sound awaits you, not an easy tune that you […]
Review by Smurfreviews — Review #2 Love at first sight. Today I would like to introduce a very special band. Until recently I didn't know them myself. But I am very grateful to have discovered them, because what happens musically on their latest album "Flickering Lights" definitely belongs to the top league of this genre. […]
Review by Smurfreviews — Review #1There are always two kinds of albums - the kind where after the first listen you already say that the music on the album sounds good, and the other kind where the music on the album can only be fully grasped after multiple listens. It is exactly to this second […]
Review by rdtprog — The supergroup is back with another album, this time a pleasant and uplifting 90 minutes journey to the absolute universe of symphonic prog. The music is still based on a good dose of Neal Morse and Flower Kings with some Beatlesque, some Yes some Jazz bits, and a rip-off of the […]
Review by siLLy puPPy — It's hard to believe that THERION began as a somewhat generic sounding old school death metal bandwhen it was founded by Christofer Johnsson all the way back in 1987 but after a sluggish beginningwhich step by step morphed into full-blown symphonic metal by the time the 1996 album "Theli" wooedthe […]
Review by dougmcauliffe — There's something I love from every musician in this band. Hell, The Flower Kings release from last year ended up being my album of the year and changing my mind on the band. I have always found Transatlantic to be one of the most bland groups in progs history. There is […]
Review by ssmarcus — I'm going to be upfront and frank: Engulf is one seriously hot mess of of an album and is nearly impossible to get through in its entirety. While I can certainly appreciate and, to a large extent, forgive the inevitable shortfalls of a record released by a self-produced one-man-show like Frequency […]
Review by Isaac Peretz — More of just the same. However I enjoyed it more than the full version, and found it to be more direct, including mostly the best tracks from the full version of the album remixed/altered in some certain way or another which was a pretty cool idea. It makes me happy […]
