The John Irvine Band: Take Me To Your Leader (2026)

UK artist John Irvine and his The John Irvine band has been a part of the UK progressive rock scene for 15 years or thereabout as a recording venture, and are best known for their instrumental albums that blends progressive rock and jazzrock into a tasteful and...

Fjall: Helt (2026)

Without looking at the press release I had it in my mind that these guys were probably Norwegian, little did I know they were somewhat closer to home and are an English group comprising Martin Archer (Bb and bass clarinets, sopranino saxophone, flute, bagpipe chanter,...

Lynch Mob: The Final Ride [Live] (2026)

Here we have the live album recorded on their ‘The Final Ride’ tour, and although they released what was supposed to be their last ever studio album at the end of last year, I note that since then George has again changed the rest of the band. The line-up here is of...

Faustian: Parable Of The Sewer (2026)

Since forming in 2019 the three members of Melbourne-based outfit Werewolves have not been hanging around in that they have released seven albums, while also being active in other outfits, so in the downtime they created Faustian to pursue technical black metal and...

Bloodcog: Musics for the Savage Planet (2026)

I am truly fortunate that I enjoy the music I do, as it allows me to experience levels of nerdvana I would never otherwise come across, and given I work in IT I can be a geek at work and sometimes feel the same when I am sat writing. I cannot imagine there being many...

Acolythus: Unearthly Kingdoms ‘Neath Lifeless Stars (2026)

This is quite an interesting release in that all the guys are also founder members of Sargassus, a progressive post-metal act who have been around since 2012, although they only released their debut last year. Angrmáni (Matias Stenman, guitar, vocals), Maleficarum...

Emerald Moon: The Sky’s The Limit Tour (2026)

I have known Thierry Sportouche for more years than either of us would probably like to admit, and I have been a contributor to his Acid Dragon for more than 30 years. There are times when he sends me some French CDs he is sure I would like to review, which is how I...

Distressed: Made Of Stone (2026)

The Finns are back with their second album, with the same line-up as 2023’s ‘Nothing For No One’ debut, namely Petri Lindström (guitar), Jarno Törns (guitar), Jari Penttinen (bass), and Juha Säpsä (drums) and Jarrno Virtanen (vocals). As I said last time, anyone who...

Hecate Enthroned: The Corpse of a Titan, A Lament Long Buried (2026)

Hecate Enthroned have never been the most prolific of bands, and the last of theirs I heard, the excellent ‘Virulent Rapture’ (2013) came out some 9 years after the previous one. Since then lead singer Elliott Beaver has left to be replaced by Joe Stamp, which means...

Dimmu Borgir: Grand Serpent Rising (2026)

I am probably one of the few writers who really enjoyed their last album, 2018’s ‘Eonion’, but even I was bemoaning the loss of ICS Vortex and now the band is down to just two official members with Shagrath and Silenoz, as Galder, who had been guitarist with the band...
Lost Vessels: F.M.B. (2023) single

Lost Vessels: F.M.B. (2023) single

I was at Crushfest last week and bumped into some of the guys from Lost Vessels who proudly told me their second single was coming out yesterday, but I explained to them that could not possibly be the case as I hadn’t been sent it to the review. Strangely enough, the...

Asta Diankha: Time To Shine (2019)

Asta Diankha: Time To Shine (2019)

I always look forward to each issue of Acid Dragon, as not only do I enjoy the content contained within one of the world’s longest running physical progressive fanzines, but it is not unusual for Thierry to also include some CDs which he think I may enjoy (and...

Erzatz: Meian (2017)

Erzatz: Meian (2017)

Here we have another CD sent to me by Thierry Sportouche from France, and this time around it is a Lyon-based duo, Erzatz, and their 2017 album, ‘Meian’. I have tried to do some digging on the band, and I believe they were originally called r:zatz, formed by Céline...

Gridfailure: Perpendicular To The Living Ones (2022)

Gridfailure: Perpendicular To The Living Ones (2022)

This is the first fully solo album from David Brenner since the Covid-lockdown-released ‘Epicenter MMXX: Quarantine Instrumentals’, and it finds him back at his unadulterated best. This is music so uncompromising that very few will even describe it as such, yet the...

Outshape: Enter The Bubble (2017)

Outshape: Enter The Bubble (2017)

Another CD from Thierry, another older release (2017), and yet another band which appears to have released something and then disappeared without trace. I did manage to track down an old Soundcloud page for the guys, but none of their links work anymore, while the...

Richard Gorman: Ship of Fools (2019)

Richard Gorman: Ship of Fools (2019)

Living on the other side of the world, and therefore not being impacted by Brexit or any UK politics whatsoever means I am not the target audience for this album, which is a collection of left wing political numbers by Richard Gorman who accompanies himself on...

Grant Geissman: Blooz (2022)

Grant Geissman: Blooz (2022)

35 years down the road, countless thousands of reviews and literally millions of words on the subject, and I am quite used to being out of step with many others, but I must admit I was perturbed to see this was one of the finalists in the 2023 Grammy’s in the ‘Best...

Jerusalem: Jerusalem (1972)

Jerusalem: Jerusalem (1972)

In a somewhat strange coincidence I was reading about this rare album and deciding I really ought to track it down when I was sent a copy of it to review as it has just been officially reissued by Talking Elephant. Recorded for Deram in 1971 it was produced by none...

    by Rob Fisher on October 5, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Eventim Apollo, London Thursday, 1 October 2026 Nobody asks the question out loud at the Eventim Apollo on Thursday night, yet it hangs, in some shape or form, over every song we hear. Marillion open with Gaza. Seventeen minutes of…

    The Garage, Islington, London Friday, 11th September 2026 PANIXPHERE Panixphere have been around for almost as long as Bic Hayes has. It’s just that they’ve been almost terminally intermittent. Over the years, they’ve taken a back seat or a mothballed…

    by Jane Lee on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Throughout our lifespan we are constantly transforming. Some of these changes are voluntary while others are forced upon us by circumstance, but after they have occurred we are not quite the same person as before. And as we approach the…

    by Darren Walker on September 30, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Grimsthorpe Castle, Bourne Thursday, 3 September 2026 Introduction… Before I set off to the Nene Valley Rock Festival I began to think of all the music festivals that there are held each year, be they Prog, tribute acts or pop.…
