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...
Dronestool: DeathHawk (2023)

Dronestool: DeathHawk (2023)

I have now been reviewing music for more than 35 years, which means it is somewhat embedded in me so if I head to a gig I find it difficult not to review it, and when someone sends me an album just for me to listen to, not to review, then it always ends up on my list....

Distressed: Nothing For No One (2023)

Distressed: Nothing For No One (2023)

Here we have the debut album from Finnish quintet Distressed, and anyone expecting something of the melodic rock or progressive genre, given the label they are signed to, are going to be in for something of a surprise. Nick Katona just said to me that the band were...

Miranda Sex Garden: Velventine (2024)

Miranda Sex Garden: Velventine (2024)

To say I was surprised when I was sent this EP by Katharine Blake was something of an understatement as I was under the impression that MSG had broken up years ago. Turns out that is indeed the case, but they reformed for a gig in 2022 and are now set for a full tour....

Lazy Fifty: One Last Time (2024) single

Lazy Fifty: One Last Time (2024) single

“One Last Time is the third single off Lazy Fifty’s upcoming EP ‘Neighbour of the Beast’ which is a collaboration between Adrian Athy and producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, The Feelers, Devilskin etc.). On the EP Adrian wrote all the songs, sang...

Aborted: Vault Of Horrors (2024)

Aborted: Vault Of Horrors (2024)

The Belgian death metal act are back with their twelfth album, and they have taken a somewhat unusual approach to this one in that singer Sven de Caluwé, who has been at the helm since the band’s formation in 1995, has brought in some mates to perform with him on each...

Andy Pratt: Trio (2024)

Andy Pratt: Trio (2024)

Andy Pratt, who is based in Chicago, is a fluent and melodic jazz guitarist who also sings with a deep and friendly voice. On this recording, which took place over two days last June (recorded live in the studio with no overdubs), he is joined by bassist Joe...

Zany Starblaster: The Lost Tapes (2019)

Zany Starblaster: The Lost Tapes (2019)

I have heard quite a lot of Jerry Kingls music in recent years, but this is a blast from the past, quite literally. Zany Starblaster were a Wisconsin Rapids band that performed locally and elsewhere in the mid-west during the years of 1978 through 1980. Members...

Varathron: The Crimson Temple (2023)

Varathron: The Crimson Temple (2023)

Hellenic Black Metal act Varathron are blessed with an incredibly stable line-up in recent years, given that the current version of the band came together in 2012. Singer Stefan Necroabyssious has been at the helm for 35 years, and he is joined by Achilleas C on...

Sarah McKenzie: Without You (2023)

Sarah McKenzie: Without You (2023)

This project originated in 2020 when Sarah McKenzie recorded “Corcovado (Quiet Nights)” with guitarist Romero Lubambo and cellist Jaques Morelenbaum as a trio. The reception to their Facebook video was so favorable that they performed at several European jazz...

Robert Prester & Adriana Samargia: Quenara (2023)

Robert Prester & Adriana Samargia: Quenara (2023)

When it comes to music, there is always room for the overblown, but anyone who has been following my reviews for the last 35+ years will know I very much enjoy simplicity, and that when a performance is just an untreated vocal and an acoustic instrument it is at its...

Moofish: Entropia (2023)

Moofish: Entropia (2023)

Here we find the duo of Rhonda Hofmans Johnson (lyrics, main vocals, harmonies, acoustic guitar) and Chris Fish Johnson (lyrics, backing vocals, spoken word, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, soundscapes, synths, piano and keyboards) being joined by...

The Lizardz: Memoria (2022)

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)

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)

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,...

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

    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…

    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…
