If you’d like to send us a promo or request a review, please first take a look at our promo information. You can contact us at theprogressivesubway@gmail.com. Any other questions or feedback are also welcome!

For artists:

• We mostly cover progressive metal and progressive rock, but we also cover ‘prog-adjacent’ genres (e.g. avant-garde metal/rock, post-metal, mathcore, etc.) and anything experimental.
• Make sure the album was released within the last two months. There are exceptions, but typically, we do not cover things that were released more than two months ago. In December/January we review albums that we missed from that release year.
• We only cover albums from the current release year. We do have a Lost in Time column for albums at least a decade old that fell into (or never made it out of) obscurity, but the quality standard for that is extremely high, so it is unlikely we will cover just any release for that.
• We do not cover singles or EPs under 15 minutes.
• We’re not a promotional blog. We try to be fair in our critique of an album, but we don’t heap praise on everything, so there is a risk we’ll say your album’s not very good.
