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...
Daniel Garbin: Rising (2025)

Daniel Garbin: Rising (2025)

It is not unusual for jazz musicians to be involved with universities and colleges, but normally that is in relation to their musical area of knowledge, but for guitarist and sitar player Daniel Garbin it is somewhat different as he is an associate professor with the...

Patricio Morales: La Tierra Canta (2025)

Patricio Morales: La Tierra Canta (2025)

The latest album by acoustic and classical guitarist Patricio Morales are old tunes he wrote when he was just starting out as composer, impressionistic reflections of his early childhood in Chile. To assist him in bringing these to life he has brought in musicians...

Jessica Jones Quartet: Edible Flowers (2025)

The Jessica Jones Quartet is a two-tenor quartet, featuring the husband-and-wife team of Jessica and Tony Jones, and here they are joined by drummer Deszon Claiborne (who first played with the quartet in the late 1990’s) and bassist Stomu Takeishi (who started working...

Groovology: Almost Home (2025)

Groovology: Almost Home (2025)

Based in Honolulu, Groovology was formed during the pandemic and comprises Aaron Aranita on woodwinds and piano, David Yamasaki on guitar, Ernie Provencher on bass, and Scott Shafer on drums. 10 of the 11 songs are original compositions from each member of the band...

The Exu: The Exu (2025)

The Exu: The Exu (2025)

Recorded on my 61st birthday (I kid you not), here we find James Mainwaring (saxophones), Dave Kane (double bass) and Emil Karlsen (drums) kicking up a storm. Three of the 12 songs were composed by Mainwaring, five by Kane, while the others are fully improvised. They...

Melodic Meltdown: Second Skin (2003)

Melodic Meltdown: Second Skin (2003)

Many years ago I reviewed some releases by guitarist Michael Søbygge and his band Melodic Meltdown, and it was something of a surprise to hear from him again recently. During our conversations he asked me if there was anything from back then that I had not reviewed,...

Abigail Williams: A Void Within Existence (2025)

Abigail Williams: A Void Within Existence (2025)

I have no idea what has happened, but since their last album, 2019’s ‘Walk Beyond The Dark’, there has been quite a shift in the Abigail Williams ranks. Over the years there has been quite a few people coming through the band, but founder Ken Sorceron (ex-Aborted,...

Noel Okimoto: ‘Hō’ihi’ (2025)

Noel Okimoto: ‘Hō’ihi’ (2025)

“Hō‘ihi”is a Hawaiian word that means to treat with reverence and respect and here Hawaiian drummer Okimoto shows respect for the jazz tradition and the giants who preceded and inspired him while infusing his own musical personality and style into the performances....

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…

    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…
