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...

DEPOSED KING (HUNGARY) Letters to a Distant Past

This young and highly artistic duo from Budapest have taken the major step of leaving behind any notion of being perceived as a one-shot-wonder by releasing their sophomore album, much to the progressive community’s joy. Having met both Dominique and Daniel in the...

The IMPERFECTIONIST COLLECTIVE (NETHERLANDS) Solitaire

I have enjoyed all the five Fractal Mirror albums, which I am proud to own in my collection, and 2014’s “Garden of Ghosts” remains a personal favorite that visits me on a regular basis. Leo Koperdraat is not only a skilled guitarist, keyboardist and composer but he...

DEMO RUMUDO (SPAIN) Second Nature

Let us stay for a spell in the jazz-rock mode, as it is not always as prolific lately as the other prog genres; they need some TLC as well. This Spanish outfit from El Ferrol in the Northwest sent me this album for review, and I have given it sufficient spins to...

AQ& F (FRANCE) Live Quintet 2025

Time to close our eyes, open the ears and clear the mind for an extended jazz-rock concert live in 2025, the usual lights extinguished, candles lit and maybe the famed duet, comfy couch and some fine Armagnac. From France, we have a thumping quintet led by guitarist...

Johan STEENSLAND (SWEDEN) Duality

Johan Steensland is a Swedish composer, teacher, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, who has expanded his craft to include progressive pop and soul-fusion, though here he proposes an outright progressive 63-minute rock-opera. This will be my first dive into his...

DURANT/EDWIN/MAITLAND (UK) The Baldock Transmission

Okay, I am going to get some pushback with my intro but ‘frankly, ma’am, I don’t give a damn’. Porcupine Tree lost its way after “Fear of A Blank Planet” and morphed into a Steve Wilson project that had some elevator rides, to say the least. In 2012, long-time P Tree...

RETREAT FROM MOSCOW (UK) The Illusion of Choice

The third album for this veteran crew is a wonderful year-end gift, as the previous two releases were met by acclamation in our little global community. “The Illusion of Choice” is a sprawling set of seven tracks that will titillate the ears and soothe the mind,...

ARIANUOVA (ITALY) Volevo Andare Altrove

Daniele Olia (guitars and keyboards) was a member of Qirsh, a talented band from Savona that I particularly enjoyed, who has now surrounded himself with a talented crew for this new venture, namely Luca Bonomi (drums) Massimo Zanon (vocals) and Michele Spinoni...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

  • 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…

  • Nene Valley Rock Festival 2026 – Day One
    by Darren Walker on September 30, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Grimsthorpe Castle, Bourne Thursday, 3 September 2026 Introduction… Before I set off to the Nene Valley Rock Festival I began to think of all the music festivals that there are held each year, be they Prog, tribute acts or pop.…

  • Various Artists – We Are The Beautiful: Two Decades Of Shoegaze 1991-2011
    by John Giordano on September 29, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    As mentioned in another recent review, I’m particularly fond of box sets that cover a scene as opposed to an artist. Because my familiarity with shoegaze is spotty at best, I thought that the We Are The Beautiful compilation would…

  • Celeste – Prince Of One Day
    by Basil Francis on September 28, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    The progressive scene in Italy took slightly longer to catch on than it did in the UK, with PFM and Banco’s stunning debuts and sophomores only showing up in 1972, by the time Yes and many other British groups had…

  • A Sunday In September 2026
    by Roger Trenwith on September 27, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    The Bedford, Balham Sunday, 13 September 2026 Another Sunday In September rolls around and here we are again in deepest Balham underneath the infamously vicious aircon of The Bedford for another day of eclectic music. The ratio this time for…
