If you haven’t read my first part of this debacle, I was pretty honest and maybe slightly harsh. I still wished him well and hoped he recovers, so I guess it counts for something. Whether I come across honest or as an asshole that’s how I feel. The […]
I hope this becomes as civil as possible, and creates positive encouraging and educating discussion. To clarify my taste for the prog gatekeepers: I love classic, modern, instrumental, cinematic, extreme, forward thinking and any kind of experimental progressive music. Some might draw me in more than others, but […]
Tech death needs a solid facelift. I feel like I’ve been hearing the same pedal point riffs and orchestra samples for a decade. Obviously, there are big names in technical death metal that have gained popularity in the past few years, but will they really hold up to […]
At first I was going into this with a grimace on my face, ready to bitch about literally everything, but I’m actually pretty stoked with how full the shows calendar is right now. And it’s super cool to see new faces every time I venture out. And some […]

Desert Of The Real is an instrumental 4 piece band that blends progressive/fusion/jazz styles all into their eclectic sound. I found out about these guys as they randomly followed our Instagram account a while ago, and decided to do an article on these cool cats. We got caught up […]
If you know me well enough, one of my favorite bands that was responsible for getting me into progressive music and it’s subgenres is the legendary OPETH. In fact, all of their albums are legendary. I’m not the greatest guitarist by any means, may be able to hold […]
