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...
Thin Lizzy: 1976 (2024)

Thin Lizzy: 1976 (2024)

1976 was the year when Thin Lizzy started to find their feet. After the initial wanderings as a trio with Eric Bell, Phil Lynott and Brian Downey had settled on the deal guitar attack of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, and while they were certainly not the first to...

Marcin Pajak (POLAND) In the Space

Polish ex-pat Marcin Pajak makes London, England his current home, a proto-typical guitarist/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist with a well-rounded career as this is his sixth solo album. I particularly enjoyed his last three previous recordings, the apocalyptic “Last...

Sullvation: The Beginning of the End (2023)

Sullvation: The Beginning of the End (2023)

Sullvation is a solo project by bassist Brent Sullivan, who here also provides keyboards and guitar. He has been in the scene for a long time, co-founded legendary underground bands Slauter Xstroyes, Winter Kill, and Mindwarp Chamber and felt it was time to do...

The Folk Implosion: Walk Thru Me (2024)

The Folk Implosion: Walk Thru Me (2024)

I really ought to read press releases more carefully before downloading albums as I saw the name of this band and just thought they were a folk act, which is not exactly the case. The band were originally formed in 1989 when John Davis sent a tape to Lou Barlow (Deep...

Doug MacDonald: Santa Monica Session (2024)

Doug MacDonald: Santa Monica Session (2024)

Doug provided a quick follow-up to ‘Live at The Rancho Mirage Library’ with this album which finds him working with different musicians in a slightly different style. This time around, his arrangements have taken five veteran standards and three of his originals into...

HAZE (UK) The Water’s Edge

Stubborn resistance, artistic integrity and boundless fortitude are the first words to come to mind with this UK band that has been around for 46 years now, perhaps easier when it’s a pretty much a family affair. To further highlight their incredible story, their...

CASTLE MOUNTAIN MOON (GERMANY) Six Tales of Perception

In a classic Prog pincer movement and with exquisite timing, I received a request to review from Bad Dog Promotions, where I immediately recognized the keyboardist as being a former member of Inquire and a few days later, an album analysis appeared from Lazland (we...

  • 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…
