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...
St. Madness: Last Rites. The Final Blessing (2022)

St. Madness: Last Rites. The Final Blessing (2022)

Even though I am seemingly incapable of remembering the names of people I see every day, I do have this weird ability to look at a band name and know if I have ever reviewed them in the past. So when I was offered this release, the bells went off, and a quick trawl...

Speech Act Theory:  Speech Act Theory (2023)

Speech Act Theory: Speech Act Theory (2023)

Speech Act Theory is a project by New Zealand producer and musician Pete Hickman which allows him to explore his vulnerable side, putting his insecurities out there for all to see. Musically this brings together elements of Alternative, Shoegaze, Electronica and pop,...

Sigir: Rainmaker (2023)

Sigir: Rainmaker (2023)

Although Finnish quartet Sigir were only formed in 2019, three of the four had previously been in Ritual of Terror together so already knew how they played so consequently this feels like a far more polished outfit than one might expect. Paavo Luttinen (bass), Eetu...

Russ Spiegel: Caribbean Blue (2023)

Russ Spiegel: Caribbean Blue (2023)

On this album Russ Spiegel (electric and acoustic guitars), Jim Gasior (organ), and Lucas Apostoleris (drums) are joined on some tracks by multi-Grammy Award winning trumpeter Brian Lynch and Grammy nominated saxophonist Tim Armacost along with trombonist Javier Nero,...

Peine Kapital: Peine Kapital (2023)

Peine Kapital: Peine Kapital (2023)

This sludge/doom trio hail from Strasbourg, and comprise of Thibault Bru on drums, Benjamin Simon on bass/vocals, and Renaud Deschamps on guitars/vocals. The three were founder members of The Pledge of Cain back in 2005, although Bru left a few years before their...

Paul McLaney: As The North Attracts The Needle (2023)

Paul McLaney: As The North Attracts The Needle (2023)

Over the last few years I have been fortunate enough to have been able to hear Gramsci’s two most recent albums, ‘Inheritance’ and ‘The Hinterlands’, so I was quite surprised to hear that Paul McLaney had decided to release a solo album. I was even more taken aback...

Mike DiRubbo: Inner Light (2023)

Mike DiRubbo: Inner Light (2023)

DiRubbo is back with his tenth album as band leader, this time with a new quartet featuring organist Brian Charette, drummer Jongkuk Kim, and guitarist Andrew Renfroe while of course he gives us alto sax. There is an obvious and important bassline throughout, but I am...

Lynch Mob: Babylon (2023)

Lynch Mob: Babylon (2023)

Here we have the eighth album from Lynch Mob, the first since 2017’s 'The Brotherhood', and apparently is the last one as George Lynch has decided to call time on the band after 35 years. Mind you, there is an 18-month long tour to get through first so anything could...

Left to Rot: Breath of the Tomb (2023)

Left to Rot: Breath of the Tomb (2023)

Left To Rot (LTR) is an Austin, Texas-based death metal band formed in 2021 by guitarist/vocalist Jason Dahlke and drummer Justin Olejnik who soon brought in bassist Aryan Nawim. They released a four-track demo that year, following it up with a single in 2022 before...

Joe Wittman: Trio Works Sol (2023)

Joe Wittman: Trio Works Sol (2023)

Here we have the debut album from guitarist Joe Wittman, who has been accompanied by bassist Daniel Duke and drummer Keith Balla, who together have played hundreds of gigs together since Wittman arrived in New York. Recorded in a live room, one thing I immediately...

Frozen Wreath: Mea Culpa (2023)

Frozen Wreath: Mea Culpa (2023)

Everything about this release screams old school atmospheric black metal from the logo through the album art and the obligatory black and white promo photo taken in a forest. The only thing really missing is snow, but these guys are from Hungary and not Scandinavia,...

Felonie: De S​è​ve et de Sang (2023)

Felonie: De S​è​ve et de Sang (2023)

One-man Black Metal bands can be quite hit and miss, as for each one that works there are many that totally miss the mark, but this debut never comes across as the work of just one guy plus a session drummer. What we have here is a side-project from Swiss musician...

Dave Stryker: Groove Street (2024)

Dave Stryker: Groove Street (2024)

Here we find guitarist Dave Stryker with Jared Gold (organ) and McClenty Hunter (drums) along with guest Bob Mintzer (saxophone). The trio plus Mintzer have been undertaking tours together with Mintzer as a special guest and now they have gone into the studio to...

Carsten Sindvald: Laura Bell (2023)

Carsten Sindvald: Laura Bell (2023)

This is not really an album I would ever have expected from Carsten, and indeed his name is in rather small print at the bottom of the cover showing he provided the music and lyrics. He graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Music as a classical saxophonist and is...

Carsten Sindvald: A Flamboyance of Flamingos (2023)

Carsten Sindvald: A Flamboyance of Flamingos (2023)

Over the last decade or so I have reviewed Carsten’s solo albums, having first come across him when he was working with Robin Taylor, and I have always enjoyed his wonderful sax playing combined in multiple different styles. Here we find him moving into instrumental...

Various Artists: Frets Of Yore (2017)

Various Artists: Frets Of Yore (2017)

I was somewhat surprised to see this album is from 2017, as the thought process behind it make me think very much of some of the projects which came out during the pandemic. The concept was simple, provide 26 graphic artworks to musicians who were then asked to...

Jimmy Keegan – 2024 – Jimmy Keegan

Jimmy Keegan – 2024 – Jimmy Keegan

Like many others, I first became aware of Jimmy when he joined Spock’s Beard as their live drummer so Nick could concentrate on vocals when he took over from Neal, and then after Nick’s own departure he stayed in the seat. I had seen the Beard a few times with Neal,...

Foghat: Slow Ride – Live In Concert (2024)

Foghat: Slow Ride – Live In Concert (2024)

This may be somewhat difficult for our American friends to understand, but Foghat never made much of an impression in their home country of England, even though they rightfully became superstars across the Atlantic. However, I was lucky enough to be introduced to...

  • 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…
