Marius Neset: Geyser [Live at Royal Albert Hall – BBC Proms] (2023)
‘Geyser’ is a piece in eight parts which was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and first performed by the Marius Neset Quintet with the London Sinfonietta on September 3rd, 2022, at the Royal Albert Hall, London, as part of BBC Proms 2022. Marius provides both tenor and...
The Lizardz: Memoria (2022)
Released in 2022, this the latest release from American band The Lizardz, who first came together some 35 years ago. These days the line-up is Milo Plante (guitars, vocals), Mark Larson (keyboards, vocals), Travis Plantico (drums, guitar, vocals) and Jamie Bruhn...
Dimmu Borgir: Inspiratio Profanus (2023)
When ‘In Sorte Diablo’ was released in 2007 none of us who had following the career of Dimmu Borgir to that point realised that in many ways it was not only the end of an era but the end for one of Norway’s greatest symphonic black metal acts. Since then they have...
Praying Mantis: Defiance (2024)
Back in 1979 NWOBHM was in full swing in the UK, the year I became 16, so I was very much the target market and I was doing whatever I could to discover the music and soon had quite a collection of singles and albums from the likes of Samson, Raven, Iron Maiden,...
Vanden Plas: The Empyrean Equation of the Long Lost Things (2024)
I have been reviewing Vanden Plas for more than quarter of a century, and while there are times when their albums are somewhat workmanlike, there are plenty of others where they are truly phenomenal. My first look at this release did cause me some surprise though, as...
John Paul McGee: A Gospejazzical Christmas (2023)
I’d rather not think of myself as being so far behind on reviewing that this is for a Christmas record which should have been written about in 2023, but rather that I am eight months early for 2024. Here we find John Paul McGee (or should I say Dr. McGee given he is...
Gridfailure: Shards In The Wire (2023)
I’ve lost track of how many of Dave Brenner’s releases I have reviewed, but it must be most of them (at least in recent years) yet I still find myself stupidly excited when there is a new one to delve into. This 7-track release (currently available on Bandcamp for...
Grant Haua: Mana Blues (2023)
A few years ago I came across Grant Haua and I was blown away by the Maori bluesman who for me is the living epitome of the classic style. His last album, the mighty ‘Tahanga’ found Grant with his trusty acoustic as he recorded a livestream for Rolling Stone France....
ECHOES (EIRE-FRANCE) Part.1
ECHOES (EIRE-FRANCE) Part 1Vocalist, lyricist, and composer James McGregor is an Irish nomad who seems to be travelling a bit around Europe lately, from Dublin, London, and Berlin, with an interesting stop in Southern France (aka paradise) where he attended a concert...
ROB HARRISON (UK) Explode My Head
Debut offering from this talented musician, composer, and producer, pretty much a one-man show with a lot of help from various friends, namely Gong’s flutist Ian East. A wide diversity of stimulating influences permeate this work, anywhere from Penguin Café Orchestra,...
MARCO GLÜHMANN (GERMANY) A Fragile Present
Can there by a finer voice currently in the prog scene than Sylvan ‘s lead lung? Besides the impeccable technique, he also is arguably one of the most recognizable vocalists in any genre, with a unique style whereby he ‘squeezes’ out harmonic vowels with a mini delay...
JOHN HOLDEN (UK) Proximity & Chance
Since 2018, this composer and multi-instrumentalist has not only been consistently delivering standout albums that I am proud to possess and review, all very highly rated but also because the recipe ingredients and manpower invited happen to vary from album to album....
RETURNED TO THE EARTH (UK) Stalagmite Steeple
The previous album “Fall of the Watcher” released in 2022 made my heart flutter so deeply that an EKG was not necessary in determining the workings of my arteries. So, what… I fell in love again! That is what romantic progressive ‘pop’ music can do to the melancholic...
OCEANS OF NIGHT (USA) Mindstorm
When discovering rock back in the very early 70s as a teenager, the exploding hormones certainly found a haven within loud and crunchy power riffs, being raised on Deep Purple, Sabbath, and Led Zep, to name only the obvious. Yes, banging heads was fun and more...
CELESTE (ITALY) Echi di un Future Passato
Two words to start: flute and mellotron. If for whatever odd reason, these two instruments are not among your favourites, please stop reading promptly. Phew, now that we got that out of the way, Celeste will always be remembered for their luminous 1976 debut album...
VIOLENT JASPER (GERMANY) Control
The much-vaunted German group Sylvan decide to go on a mini-sabbatical, subsequent to releasing their latest album, “One to Zero” in 2021, a masterful album of the highest order. Longtime keyboardist Volker Soehl and guitarist Johnny Beck decided to launch a new...
AGE OF DISTRACTION (UK) A Game of Whispers
Connections, connections, connections. The progressive rock community’s greatest attribute is how closely linked everyone seems to be, with geography being no longer an issue. New projects seem to blossom organically, as a simple e-mail or text can germinate into a...
CRISTIANO VARISCO (BRAZIL) Aline
There is nothing more enjoyable for the Rogue than receiving review requests from artists around the world, who invariably deserve very much to be heard and, in most cases, applauded for their talent, often far removed from the ultra-packaged, hyper-polished fluff of...
