Album Reviews
With the unchained Macro, Jinjer defy any boundaries. It brings us a cocktail of how modern heavy progressive metal should sound like.
Wheel brings you a sound that is very much inspired by Tool, but with a great personality and great songwriting skills!
In 2018 The hellish intronauts of Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising came together for a one off event, commissioned for the Roadburn Festival, ingeniously monikered The Waste of Space Orchestra. Syntheosis is the studio interpretation of that psychotropic interdimensional journey.
In need of some technically typically djent. These French dudes from Kadinja are bringing us some technically djent that can compete with their bigger brothers in the genre.
Soen takes us on a progressive ride with music that has their signature sound all over!
Let your imagination run free when you listen to Fabulae Dramatis’ album ‘Solar Time’s Fables’. Find out here how.
Riverside’s Wasteland is a must have for all progressive rock/metal fans who are into more emotional raw sounding songs , think of Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree. Wasteland will take you by the throat , check them out !!!
It’s predictable that The Wake is unpredictable, Voivod steers it spacecraft through a tangled, tantalizing storyline, woven into the most maze-like, edge-of-your-seat musical experience the band have embarked upon since those heady days of the late ‘80s.
The Canadian mad scientist Devin Townsend celebrates the 20th anniversary with a very nice DVD/Blu Ray at the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv supported by the State Opera Orchestra!

The second night of John Smith Rock Frozen 2023 was pretty epic with some of the best of the Finnish scene with Red Eleven, Kiuas, Finntroll, Turmion Kätilöt and headliners Amorphis! Throw on top of that the Swedish up-and-comers of Orbit Culture, and you know it was good!
The Technikum venue in Munich was completely filled with musicians and aspiring musicians, to welcome the virtuosity and weight of Animals As Leaders, who came very well accompanied by the Swedes Allt last week!
Pictures of Bloodred Hourglass, I Am Morbid, Leprous and Emperor performing on one of the outdoor stages at Hellsinki Metal Festival!
Second day at an exciting edition of Alcatraz we had a very black metal heavy one with Gaerea, Taake and Belphegor, old school punk with The Exploited, gloomy industrial from Godflesh and one of Finland’s favorite bands Amorphis!
Pictures of the Voivod, Monuments and Sodom shows at the first day of Hellsinki Metal Festival 2023!
Lost Society and Amorphis gave us a little preview last Friday of the upcoming ‘Halo’ European Tour, when they did a show together at Logomo’s Terassikesä in Turku, Finland.

A night of incredible music from Ne Obliviscaris, Persefone and Asymmetric Universe at Tavastia in Helsinki at the beginning of last month, the start of what was going to be an incredible tour in Europe for these guys!
The French band Aephanemer dropped by On The Rocks in Helsinki to turn the heat up and make a pretty much crammed venue go wild to their symphonic/melodic death metal tunes! Support came from locals Numento.
Ne Obliviscaris and Persefone on tour in Europe, supported by openers Asymmetric Universe, providing us with an evening of the finest progressive metal out there! We caught them at their stop in Belgium, at Trix in Antwerp!
