Review: Heyoka’s Mirror – The Uninvited King
A very zany prog metal album that will surely take you by surprise!
Review: The Lylat Continuum – Ephemeral
Literally drifting through space, watching the world burn, awaiting your demise. One can either seek bliss or turn to madness.
Review: Signals of Bedlam – Liar’s Intuition
A cool progressive rock album (hinging on metal) which brings back memories of the mid 2000s prog scene.

A small, solo output that is enjoyable and memorable.
Review: Klexos – Apocryphal Parabolam
A pummeling tech death offering with a cool dissonant twist.

Extreme thrash with exceptional lead guitar work.
Review: Spire – Temple of Khronos
Cerebral and atmospheric black metal tackling the tyranny of time itself
Review: Dzung – Dzanca
A lovely instrumental album combining Vietnamese folk with prog goodness

Catchy hooks and outstanding vocals from a Norwegian alt-pop octet.
