Instrumental experimental prog duo The Surrealist have FINALLY released the single they were teasing for weeks yesterday December 14th. As expected, it’s very melodic and well layered when it has to be. Roopam’s guitar playing is mind blowing as usual and will launch you into another atmosphere. If […]
Thanks to the mighty Gear Gods for posting a bass playthrough of one of Crevassian’s songs, and because of that I have yet discovered another nutty band. The chaps are an instrumental metal band with a modern sound to their wide and glorious sound. Yes, they djent and ride […]
Dave here with one of my rare opinion pieces. First off, I want to welcome my friend Vick who is now working with me on here stopping in to write some articles. She’s very feisty, opinionated, and passionate for the music I strive to promote and is already […]
Grant The Sun is an Instrumental Prog/Math metal band out of Norway that is releasing its second EP “Simmar Ur Bild” this Friday November 30th. The four song EP was a groovy, wild rhythmic display of musicianship with some sweet melodic guitar leads here and there. Think […]
My Thoren buddies are at it again, but with a much more straightforward and equally as fucked up and wild follow up to Brennenburg. They’re an instrumental project with a shit ton of dissonance, weird rhythms and some jazz influences here and there. “Gwarth 1” is a wild ride of that, […]
To change things up and also promote a very talented and unheard of band, Roopam Garg’s brainchild The Surrealist is TMR’S November Featured Artist. They’re a very cool prog/pop/kinda fusion/experimental instrumental band out of Boston. If it could get any cooler he graduated the Berklee School Of […]
Trigger is a solo instrumental project by Michael Trio out of Nashville. Tonight on Halloween I give you a SCARY good fucking album. Trigo did all the music and arrangements on this beast and shit is it ever a masterpiece. It’s a prog-tactic adventure through the cosmic […]

Instrumental Death Metal band Thoren released their single “Tyranny” today. It’s a quick, heavy and dissonant headbanger that kicks your ass from the get go. Tyranny is a straightforward extreme metal ass kicker. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of dissonance in this quickie (as Decibel Magazine ever so […]
Instrumental Prog Metal Band Nomera has an album out called “Holos” and it’s a very good one, to say the least. There’s so many solid instrumental bands with unique sounds (some sound a bit repetitive or dull but you get that in every genre really) but Nomera […]
