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...
Downfall of Humanity: War Cry (2022) single

Downfall of Humanity: War Cry (2022) single

Given the age of these guys, it is somewhat difficult to realise that this line-up has been together since 2009 when Bryce Patten (guitars, backing vocals) joined forces with Daniel Carleton (lead vocals), Alex Carleton (guitars, backing vocals), Ben Pegman (bass) and...

James Kohler: Lights Out (2022) single

James Kohler: Lights Out (2022) single

As a rule, I read press releases after I have been listening to the music, but as well as Lisa sending me this to review, I was also sent it today by the PR company and I read that email before I realised it was on my list. However, my interest was already piqued as...

Thinking Foxes: Bleached (2022) single

Thinking Foxes: Bleached (2022) single

Thinking Foxes are an Auckland-based alternative rock trio who are new to me, comprising Gabriel Parkins Craig (vocals, guitar), Luca Garcia Ferrari (bass), and Noah Page (drums). Bleached is their debut single and based on this I am somewhat surprised to have not...

Bullet for My Valentine: Bullet for My Valentine (2021)

Bullet for My Valentine: Bullet for My Valentine (2021)

They may have sold some three million albums, but there is no doubt that Welsh metalcore outfit Bullet For My Valentine have never really lived up to the promise of their first two albums. Although their debut, ‘The Poison’ is the most regarded by many, for me it was...

Death Angel: The Bastard Tracks (2021)

Death Angel: The Bastard Tracks (2021)

A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to see a line-up I never expected in New Zealand, namely Sepultura with support from Death Angel (and a classic local opener in Blindfolded and Led to the Woods). All three bands impressed me that night, but it was the one in...

Exodus: Persona Non Grata (2021)

Exodus: Persona Non Grata (2021)

It took me a long time to get into Exodus, probably not listening to them properly until the turn of the century, and for a long time thought of them just as the band which Kirk Hammett left to join Metallica. This probably was not helped by some seriously naff album...

Underscore: Tell Me // Out of Time (2022) single

Underscore: Tell Me // Out of Time (2022) single

Before I start talking about the music, I must make comment on the logo they used on the last single, which was the word Underscore with three lines beneath it because they are a trio. What a simple and really effective idea. This band is new to me, even though they...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

  • Kraanerg – Aria For Labellum Tongues
    by Graham Thomas on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Kraanerg is the title of a ballet written by Iannis Xenakis in 1969. It is derived from the Greek and translates as ‘accomplished action’. It seems like an apt name for Nat Bergrin’s outfit, as they are certainly accomplished, and…

  • Marillion
    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…

  • Spratleys | Panixphere
    by Dann Chinn (Guest) on October 4, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    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…

  • Big Big Train
    by Leo Trimming on October 3, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Komedia, Bath Sunday, 27 September 2026 Big Big Train have been rolling down the tracks as a live outfit since their remarkable 2015 Kings Place gigs, followed passionately by their ‘Passenger’ fans. In 2026 Big Big Train have been carving…

  • John Holden – Thresholds
    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…
