Instrumental Progressive Fusion band Ad Astra dropped their self titled album and I’m here to blabber all about it! The guys have put out a more than stellar output, to be honest with you all. The guitar work is absolutely brilliant, and does what it has to do…..some […]
Instrumental Progressive Jam Band Tortoise Forest released their debut album this past Saturday January 12th at their show at the Mohawk Place in Buffalo. I was lucky enough to receive the album on release day to help the band promote, and I jumped at the opportunity! With tons of repetitive […]
Thrailkill is a sweet instrumental progressive metal band that released this album “Everything That Is You” last year. After giving it a decent ear, I really dig this band even more. They’re not your typical instrumental metal band…..there’s much. much more to them than they lead on. The band […]
Jason Rodriguez is a melodic progressive metal instrumentalist who released a stellar album last year titled “HeartStrings”. He is not of the norm for an instrumentalist….sure he’s a great guitar player but he’s not a “show off” if you know what I mean. He’s written an album based […]
The Pathos And Logos guys released “Black Budget” a couple months ago. For the guys, I personally think this track is equally as good as “Mergers And Acquisitions”. What really stood out this time around is it’s slightly shorter, and really is a huge nod to modern instrumental prog metal. […]
Brave The Waters is an Instrumental Melodic Psych/Prog Rock duo releasing their first full length “Chapter 2 Days Of Solitude” after their debut EP in 2017. The band is premiering their laid back and atmospheric track “Above The Broken Clouds” right here, right now! This atmospheric trip […]
Instrumental Progressive Metal Duo Pathos And Logos unleashed a killer track upon us unworthy earthlings. “Mergers And Acquisitions” brings a great well rounded sound to the table with not just lots of heavy sections, but lots of mood and phenomenal guitar melodies provided by Kyle. Paul’s drumming perfectly compliments […]
Hello folks! I am back with my second “Best Of” Awards article…..but with more sections to spice things up. Newcomer Vick wrote hers and I’m here with my valued or unvalued opinion with some possible bias. The numbers aren’t important in my article I DO NOT RANK I just list […]
The Astral Cadence released “Paradigm” during this past fall in September. They’re an instrumental progressive metal band with ambient influences. The trio has a great sound that a lot of these instrumental prog bands generally nail…..great atmosphere and melody. “Paradigm” is a great representation of the diversity of […]
Hot dang. I recently discovered this weird and very enjoyable band this past week. This instrumental jazz fusion metal trio just blows the roof off of everything. Either you have the talent to go with solid songwriting in the weird fusion realms……or you’re just flat out talented […]
