Paul SADLER (UK) The Irrational
Never was a big fan of reviewing a single or an EP, anything shorter than 30 minutes was always a heavy burden, perhaps due to my “opus” fixation, wanting a full-blown experience to savor. There are thankfully exceptions, generally caused by the sheer quality of the...
Disgorged Foetus: Obscene Utter Gore Annihilation (2023)
French Death Gore Grind outfit Disgorged Foetus have been around in a few different iterations since 1996 (although they did officially split between 2006 and 2017), with just the one constant in Dams (guitars, bass, vocals). There have been multiple releases over the...
David Bailis: Tree of Life (2024)
On this five-track 27-minute-long instrumental release guitarist Bailis is joined by the tenor-saxophonist Chris Speed, Eric Lane on piano and synth bass, and drummer Jason Nazary. The quartet recorded the full set in a five-hour session without any prior rehearsals....
Home Service: A Live Transmission (2024)
When thinking about the folk-rock scene in the UK, it is no surprise that Ashley Hutchings is rightly referred to as “the guv’nor” given he was a founder member of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and The Albion Band. The last has had multiple musicians through its...
Pitch Shifter: Peel Sessions 1991-93 (2024)
Yes, I do know the band these days are known as Pitchshifter, but originally, they spelled it as two words, and when these sessions were recorded for John Peel at the BBC Maida Vale Studios on 28th April 1991 and 30th March 1993 this is how they were known. The 1991...
Margaret Slovak & Chris Maresh: A Star’s Light Does Fall (2024)
However much I love metal and rock music, there will always be a very warm place in my heart for acoustic as there is no room to hide, everything has to be perfect as otherwise it will be jarring and there for all to hear. Margaret and Chris started playing together...
Various Artists: Let’s Have Rockin’ Christmas. Vol. 9 (2024)
This is the first album I have come across from Bongo Boy Records, and if they are all as interesting as this one, I can see I am going to be looking out for more from them in the future. It is not unusual for labels to release compilations at Christmas, and the next...
SPIRERGY (UK) Journey Beyond
Well, along came another unexpected spidery surprise, a chance meeting on the web, that had me immediately entangled within the claws of a new prog arachnid. Like Little Red Riding Hood (no relative of Robin) responding to the wolf, yelling out “Eat me!”. Enter exit...
Coffin Rot: Dreams of the Disturbed (2024)
Sometimes the only thing which will work is sheer unadulterated death metal, which is why I think I grabbed the promo for this album as there was something about the artwork which brought a smile to my face (yes, I’m weird, but I also don’t care). Formed in 2017 by...
Ron Keel: Keelworld (2024)
Ron Keel surely needs no introduction, first making a name for himself by fronting Steeler before forming Keel who sold two million albums in the Eighties. Over the years he has been in other outfits as well, and on this album, he has undertaken something I don’t...
Verni: Dreadful Company (2024)
Once punk outfit Lubricunts bit the dust, bassist DD Verni decided not to waste any time and put out an advert looking for people to form a new band. The year was 1980, the new band was Overkill, and alongside Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth, DD has been there ever since,...
Nicola LORI (ITALY) Urban Vision
Being a huge fan of Roman composer Stefano Panunzi as well as the band Fjieri, an offshoot solo album by one of the main collaborators is always most welcome on my sound system (a vintage 70s Bang & Olufsen, FYI). Nicola is a talented composer, guitarist and...
BELIEVE (POLAND) The Wyrding Way
A seven-year wait is way too long a penitence, after the sublime Seven Windows (2017), this celebrated Polish combo launches The Wyrding Way, reuniting the core of guitarist extraordinaire Miroslaw Gil, the exotic Satomi on violin and keyboards, bassist Przemas...
KORNMO (NORWAY) Varjevndognsnatt
Another band that desperately needs attention in terms of positive reviews is this Norwegian symphonic instrumental combo whose career has been nothing short of genius, with highly rated works that have made an impact in Progland (I have all four albums and love them...
Sam KING (UK) The Displaced
Glaswegian Sam King has invited a few choice collaborators on this uber-modern hard prog album that spans stylistic boundaries, whilst retaining a distinctive common denominator throughout, not surprising as he plays the entire usual spectrum of guitars, keys, bass,...
BLACKSMITH TALES (ITALY) The Pathway to Hamlet’s Mill
Well, with a title so expressive, once can easily guess that theatrics and perhaps even a prog opera may be in the cards, with a strong medieval/Middle Ages flavour that was also apparent on their 2021 debut album “The Dark Presence”, which was enjoyed by the...
Colin MASSON (UK) The Visitor
Two albums in less than a year! My goodness, Mr. Masson is motivated to say the least. The rather resplendent “Echoes of Albion” was release on February 10, 2024, with a triumvirate of massive pieces well into the double digits that got the full five-star review...
Paula Maya: Rio de Janeiro (2024)
Ever since she made her recording debut in 1995, and especially since she founded Yellow Rose Records in 2003, pianist and singer Paula Maya has been a major force in performing and popularizing Brazilian music in the United States. This is her twelfth studio album,...
