Gravethorn: Atrocitas (2024)

I admit it, I only grabbed this because I loved the cover but the more I listened to this the more I realised I had stumbled upon something really interesting. Formed in 2021 by Krystof (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Bob Hill (drums) they made a reputation for...

Greybeards: Out of the Red (2025)

Originally four schoolfriends came together for a one-off gig in Gävle, Sweden, but it went so well they kept playing and since then they have played gigs not only in Sweden but also in China, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Slovenia, Poland, Palestine,...

Trash Panda & Lazuli Vane: Appalachian Seafoam (2024)

The band Trash Panda began in 2015 as the recording project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Taylor, gradually turning into a band. They have released some albums and average more than 100,000 streams on Spotify each month, but this album is just...

Liljevars Brann: Helja Kor (2024)

Here we have the debut album from Liljevars Brann, a black metal outfit formed by drummer Kristjan and singer/guitarist Sjelvindur, who also play together in Autumnblaze and Paragon of Beauty. Although it was recorded in eight weeks in 2021 it took until September...

Laird Jackson: Life (2024)

Jazz singer Laird Jackson released her debut album in 1994, her second in 2002 and this her third in 2024 so she is not one of the most prolific artists around, but has nothing to apologise about and says, “Life happened, I didn’t stop living. I travelled, I wrote, I...

Kings of Mercia: Battle Scars (2024)

When guitarist Jim Matheos (Fates Warning) made it known he was writing songs for a brand-new project, word got to English journalist Dave Ling, who put Matheos in touch with singer Steve Overland (FM). To complete the line-up the duo then recruited drummer Simon...

Gunhild Carling: Jazz Is My Lifestyle (2024)

Gunhild’s latest album is credited to Gunhild Carling’s Big Band with Strings. There are 20 musicians listed in the big band, six soloists and the strings are provided by the Prague Strings Chamber Orchestra. As for Gunhild herself, this is an album comprised of 100%...

Gunhild Carling: Good Evening Cats (2022)

Gunhild literally grew up surrounded by music as her father Hans formed The Carling Family Band in the 1980’s and they are still very active in the jazz scene today. She is a multi-instrumentalist and singer, and obviously still believes in keeping the family involved...

Drusuna: Beyond the Green Realm (2024)

I first came across Portuguese Pagan Folk outfit Drusuna back in 2020 when I reviewed one of their singles, but this is the first time I have come across an album: I said back then that it would be something worth hearing, and I love it when I am right. They were...

Fit for an Autopsy: The Nothing That Is (2024)

Here we have the seventh album from New Jersey deathcore outfit Fit For An Autopsy. They have had a remarkably stable line-up wit this being the third album to feature guitarists Pat Sheridan, Will Putney and Tim Howley, drummer Josean Orta, vocalist Joe Badolato, and...

ESP PROJECT (UK) 22 Layers of Sunlight

The Rogue needs to immediately correct a massive injustice, putting all pretenders for review on a temporary hold, before being unceremoniously hauled in front of the PROG chief justice and condemned to listen only to all the Magma releases for the rest of my hellish...

VYÖNI (NORWAY) The Tripoint

Some interesting little tidbits to get the appetite going, VYÖNI being a small town in Northern Sweden, near the Finland border. The Tripoint is a semi-obscure area, very well known to military historians in particular, as in the extreme north of Norway three borders...

BAKULLAMA (USA) Sleepers

One cannot survive just on polished, finely chiseled progressive rock albums all the time, and I know for a fact, that many aficionados actually enjoy the rougher edged, at times raw options available. Even the under-produced thinner sound can lay bare the purest of...

PARALLELS (SWEDEN) Exodus

Not to be confused with a similarly named US Band and their Yes tribute Awaken, this veteran Swedish trio opt for a more accessible sound, most definitely in the Neo-Prog vein, with tinges of AOR. Lead vocalist and bass player Ulrik Arturen, Keyboard man Forbjorn...

NINE STONES CLOSE (UK) Diurnal

After a long and self-imposed silence, guitarist and composer Adrian Jones found a great amount of inspiration, some good and some bad, upon extracting himself like billions of other humans from the claustrophobia of Covid 19 sequestration. This forced introspection...

NORTHODOXIAN (ESTONIA) same

Finally, I get to focus on this interesting project from Estonia, a country for which I have had a lengthy fascination that I cannot really explain, other than some distant Finno-Ugric connection beyond mind or thought, perhaps genetic, surely historic. Let me...

Living State: Stalker (2024) single

Living State: Stalker (2024) single

Auckland-based Living State continue to release catchy singles and having seen them play a few times I know they power through the live environment as well. Musically they focus the arrangements around singer Marissa who is building her confidence so that while we are...

Hideous Divinity: Unextinct (2024)

Hideous Divinity: Unextinct (2024)

Between 2012 and 2019 Italian technical death metal act Hideous Divinity released four full-length albums, but it has taken five years for them to return with their latest, which is probably due to a certain pandemic, plus the line-up changed with the loss of both a...

Foncedalle: Foncedalle (2024)

Foncedalle: Foncedalle (2024)

This is the debut album by French act Foncedalle, who comprise Marius Mermet (guitar, vocals), JD Mimouni (drum machine, synth) and Clément Maltassat (bass, vocals, synth), they describe the album as a rock band making electronic music as opposed to the other way...

Crucial Velocity: Crucial Velocity (2023)

Crucial Velocity: Crucial Velocity (2023)

I must admit the reason I grabbed this album was due to some of the people involved as it sounded interesting. This band originally commenced as a project between songwriter Nate Bauer (guitar, bass, keyboards) and veteran mixing/mastering engineer Gary Long, owner of...

The Contractions: 1980 (2024)

The Contractions: 1980 (2024)

The Contractions (I don’t know why there is no “The” on the cover, but everything I can find on them has “The”) were an all-female punk trio from San Francisco featuring Mary Kelley (guitar & vocals), Kathy Peck (bass & vocals) and Debbie Hopkins (drums &...

The Brat: Straight Outta East L​.​A. (2017)

The Brat: Straight Outta East L​.​A. (2017)

I get offered a lot of albums to review on a daily basis, with most of the emails being filed in case I need to reference them later, but without downloading the music. For some strange reason I decided to grab this set from a band which broke up in 1985, releasing...

Sam Ross: Live at the Mira Room, Vol. II (2023)

Sam Ross: Live at the Mira Room, Vol. II (2023)

In many ways this feels like the beginning of a whole new world, and I am sure this is not the last time we will come across an album like this. On one level here we have a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable jazz EP by the trio of Sam Ross (piano, Fender Rhodes)...

Red Hot Shame: You Can’t Make Me (2023)

Red Hot Shame: You Can’t Make Me (2023)

Red Hot Shame is an indie rock group from a Northern California where the mainstay is singer-songwriter Xeff Scolari who works with a fluctuating line-up of friends. This time around it included frequent collaborators Steven Pitsenbarger (vocals, percussion), Ryan...

Kariti: Dheghom (2024)

Kariti: Dheghom (2024)

Back in 2020 I reviewed the debut album by Kariti, ‘Covered Mirrors’, and she is finally back with the follow-up. Kariti (карити), which means 'to mourn the dead' in church Slavonic, is a Russian-born artist now based in Italy and this release sees her moving away...

Just One Fix: Submit or Death (2024)

Just One Fix: Submit or Death (2024)

One of my favourite NZ metal bands in Just One Fix, and it is way too long since they released an EP. We have been getting tasters with singles, but at least we have six tracks, 26 minutes in length and the only real issue is that it is not enough, where is the album?...

Fiffdimension: Acoustic [Yin] / Electric [Yang] (2023)

Fiffdimension: Acoustic [Yin] / Electric [Yang] (2023)

What we have here is a double CD set from Dave Edwards to celebrate 25 years of Fiffdimension, with one disc acoustic and the other electric, both housed in the same digipak so by turning it over one has the correct artwork and track listing for one style and by...

  • Charlie Bramald – Ghost Of The Machine
    by Darren Walker on March 15, 2025 at 6:05 pm

  • Tribe3 – Life Amongst Strangers
    by Leo Trimming on March 14, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    In 2023 Tribe3 came out of nowhere to give us their remarkable eponymous debut album, which was reviewed very positively by TPA’s now sadly departed Jez Rowden, the first reviewer to champion this band (and for whom they still hold…

  • Gayle Ellett & The Electromags – The Painted River Of Light
    by Graham Thomas on March 13, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    The Painted River of Light is the third album from Gayle Ellett & The Electromags, and something of a departure from the direction of the first two releases. Up until now, the music was very much a celebration of the…

  • Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks – Live: Perpetual Change
    by Alex Driessen on March 12, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    Anyone who regularly watches YouTube and is interested in Yes will no doubt have noticed the various videos of Jon Anderson in collaboration with the Band Geeks. Crystal clear versions of the beloved epic/iconic songs by the legendary singer and…

  • Remembering Jez…
    by The Progressive Aspect on March 10, 2025 at 11:00 am

    Hard to believe, but it is one year today that we lost our wonderful friend and colleague Jez Rowden. A truly witty and positive man who touched so many, and always with that heart-warming and infectious smile… As I attempt…

  • District 97 – Live For The Ending
    by Graham Thomas on March 8, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    One of the best things to come out of the US in recent years surely has to be District 97, and whilst their music has never been in the easy listening section of the prog shelf, their most recent studio…

  • Jethro Tull – Curious Ruminant
    by Magnus Moar on March 7, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    Whilst many of the great prog acts of the Seventies have become increasingly less prolific in their studio output over time, Ian Anderson and his band (since once more raising the banner of ‘Jethro Tull’) have released three studio albums…

  • Ghost Of The Machine – Empires Must Fall
    by Darren Walker on March 6, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    Although the Prog community tend to be a friendly and welcoming bunch I have found that all you have to do is speak to two of them and they will give you three definitions of what Prog is, or should…

  • Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate – The Uncertainty Principle
    by David Edwards on March 4, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    A new release by Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate is always something I look forward to. Malcolm Galloway and Mark Gatland are UK prog treasures, and their uniquely eclectic, genre-spanning take on contemporary progressive rock and art rock, is always…
