Review: The Aphelion – Nascence
Haydon may not play Darth Vader this time, but that doesn’t stop him from embracing the dark side
Review: Vestige – Janis
Catharsis? In MY metal? It’s more likely thank you think.
Review: Egor Lappo – Reasonable Nonsense
My favorite prog/electropop/thrash/synth/AOR record of all time. Also my least favorite. It’s the only one I’ve heard, is what I’m saying here.
Review: Vile Rites – Senescence
Release the kraken!
Review: Orion – The Lightbringers
A counterpart to… Counterparts?
Review: Barock Project – Time Voyager
In spite of their questionable use of AI art, the Barock Project have delivered a polished and compelling comeback album that sees them reach beyond typical prog fare with its eclectic influences and cinematic approach
Review: Inner Strength – Daydreaming in Moonlight
Thirty-one years to write, hone skills, and perfect.
Review: Piah Mater – Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun
Opeth-inspired Brazilian prog death.
Review: Isle of the Cross – Faustus: The Musical
Till swollen with cunning, of a self-conceit, this album’s waxen wings did mount above its reach.
Review: Mothman and the Thunderbirds – Portal Hopper
Alex Parkinson has captured the sound of yet another big prog metal band. I can’t wait until he’s caught’em all.
