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...
Aro: Muramura (2021) single

Aro: Muramura (2021) single

At this time of the year, it is common to look back and think about what we have experienced, and while anyone living in Auckland will happily complain about the last 3+ months (with good reason), we were all able to experience live music earlier in the year if we so...

Ayla Wesley: Salamanders (2021) single

Ayla Wesley: Salamanders (2021) single

This is the debut single from Ayla Wesley, a young alt folk/indie artist who has been playing gigs in Tauranga and Auckland over the last few years. It commences with a few electric guitars combining to set an ambience until it settles down to just one guitar being...

In The Shallows: There You Are (2021) single

In The Shallows: There You Are (2021) single

2021 has been a voyage of discovery for me in the NZ Music scene, and it may have taken a lengthy road trip, but earlier in the year I finally managed to catch up with {In The Shallows} who have the temerity to live in the capital as opposed to Auckland. I fell in...

Written By Wolves: Papercut (2021) single

Written By Wolves: Papercut (2021) single

There is no doubt that 2021 has been a hard ride emotionally for Written By Wolves. They went through the process of re-recording tracks from their Secrets album and putting them out as The Collab Project//Secrets, baring their soul to get people talking about mental...

Investigator: Don’t Touch Me! (2021) single

Investigator: Don’t Touch Me! (2021) single

Earlier this year Investigator made it into the official NZ charts for the first time with Lake of Eyes, a wonderful achievement for a fully independent self-funded outfit. Since then, there has been the minor issue of an Auckland lockdown which prevented them from...

Laurent Voulzy: Avril (2001)

Laurent Voulzy: Avril (2001)

Thanks for Thierry Sportouche (Acid Dragon), here I am writing about a French album which was released back in 2001. At the time this was the first solo album by Voulzy for 9 years and reached #2 in the national charts. He originally led the English-pop-influenced Le...

Matt Heckler: Blood, Water, Coal (2021)

Matt Heckler: Blood, Water, Coal (2021)

It is safe to say that I was hugely impressed by Heckler’s debut album, ‘After The Flood’, while he was the first artist on the indispensable series, ‘The Magnolia Sessions’, so when I saw this had been released I was expecting great things, and I was not...

Kaylee Bell: Silver Linings (2021)

Kaylee Bell: Silver Linings (2021)

Kaylee is the most streamed Female Country artist from Australasia, with more than 30 million to date, with her recent hit single That Summer breaking the million and being the mot added song to mainstream radio in New Zealand in the month of release. That is one of...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

  • The Pineapple Thief – Far And Wide
    by Peter Hilton on October 9, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    In the infancy of the internet era there were dial-up / email service providers, including my chosen supplier AOL. What has this got to do with The Pineapple Thief (TPT), you ask? Bear with me for a few paragraphs and…

  • Nick Fletcher – An Unfolding Of Miracles
    by Darren Walker on October 8, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    I am friends with many musicians, predominantly Prog, but a few who create music for less cultured tastes and most of them struggle to record and put out new material. Invariably they have day jobs, families and other things 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…
