ESP PROJECT (UK) 22 Layers of Sunlight
by rogue | Jun 22, 2024 | Latest News
The Rogue needs to immediately correct a massive injustice, putting all pretenders for review on a temporary hold, before being unceremoniously hauled in front of the PROG chief justice and condemned to listen only to all the Magma releases for the rest of my hellish...
VYÖNI (NORWAY) The Tripoint
by rogue | Jun 17, 2024 | Latest News
Some interesting little tidbits to get the appetite going, VYÖNI being a small town in Northern Sweden, near the Finland border. The Tripoint is a semi-obscure area, very well known to military historians in particular, as in the extreme north of Norway three borders...
BAKULLAMA (USA) Sleepers
by rogue | Jun 9, 2024 | Latest News
One cannot survive just on polished, finely chiseled progressive rock albums all the time, and I know for a fact, that many aficionados actually enjoy the rougher edged, at times raw options available. Even the under-produced thinner sound can lay bare the purest of...

After a long and self-imposed silence, guitarist and composer Adrian Jones found a great amount of inspiration, some good and some bad, upon extracting himself like billions of other humans from the claustrophobia of Covid 19 sequestration. This forced introspection...
NORTHODOXIAN (ESTONIA) same
by rogue | Jun 2, 2024 | Latest News
Finally, I get to focus on this interesting project from Estonia, a country for which I have had a lengthy fascination that I cannot really explain, other than some distant Finno-Ugric connection beyond mind or thought, perhaps genetic, surely historic. Let me...
Living State: Stalker (2024) single
by Kev Rowland | Jun 2, 2024 | Reviews
Auckland-based Living State continue to release catchy singles and having seen them play a few times I know they power through the live environment as well. Musically they focus the arrangements around singer Marissa who is building her confidence so that while we are...

by Kev Rowland | Jun 2, 2024 | Reviews
Between 2012 and 2019 Italian technical death metal act Hideous Divinity released four full-length albums, but it has taken five years for them to return with their latest, which is probably due to a certain pandemic, plus the line-up changed with the loss of both a...

The Brat: Straight Outta East L.A. (2017)
by Kev Rowland | Jun 2, 2024 | Reviews
I get offered a lot of albums to review on a daily basis, with most of the emails being filed in case I need to reference them later, but without downloading the music. For some strange reason I decided to grab this set from a band which broke up in 1985, releasing...
Sam Ross: Live at the Mira Room, Vol. II (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Jun 2, 2024 | Reviews
In many ways this feels like the beginning of a whole new world, and I am sure this is not the last time we will come across an album like this. On one level here we have a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable jazz EP by the trio of Sam Ross (piano, Fender Rhodes)...
