Reports from the Underground: April 2020 prog reviewed (part 2)

Good day! Today it’s finally time to talk about music the outer space Gorilla invasion of planet earth. The protagonist of this story will be one of our writers, Dylan. From his Argentinian basement, he took up the Herculean task to shield us from the gorillas by reviewing SEVEN albums in two weeks.

…except he failed on two of those. These gorillas are mean motherfuckers. As mankind set out to destroy the earth, the universe retaliated. From various planets over the different galaxies, they gathered the meanest, cleverest, most skilled gorillas to wipe us off the map. An army of space ships has been sent out to the earth to attack us. Their first attack was launched on Argentina, dropping seven albums on Dylan to keep him in his basement and crumple his will to live. They were a reminder of the seven deadly sins that plagued him. Could he keep his head straight amidst the albums zooming in on all he did wrong in his life in regards to the sin they represent? For the most part yes, but two of the sins he could not shake: Greed and Sloth. It was Greed which fueled him to take up the challenge, even though he knew he couldn’t handle the mediocrity of some of them; and it was Sloth which caused him to fail. Safe to say in any case that if Dylan is supposed to be our shield from the gorillas then we are likely doomed.

……

OK enough of that time to talk about music. Not that there’s anything to talk about though. This is the second and final April edition. Some album good, some album bad, some album mediocre, blablabla… You get the drill. Hence here’s a Spotify playlist with all recommended tracks from the edition and I’ll be off with my bullshit. Til next time.

New here? Check our About page and take a look at our social media accounts (links in the sidebar). In short what we do is that we search for promising underground prog metal (and related) bands through Metal-Archives advanced search, Bandcamp and other sources, group them together by the month they were released in, and then write a review on them. Do you want your band reviewed? Send us an email at theprogressivesubway@gmail.com. Just make sure it’s from a month we haven’t covered yet and that the release is over 20 minutes long.
