Evergrey released “The Atlantic “a few days ago on January 25th and it’s quite the wild ride. This melodic progressive metal band has grabbed my attention and gone under the radar for quite some time. Prior to this release there are a handful of other albums, so it’s not […]
You in the mood for some progressive djenty mathcore? If you said yes, ONKT wants you! They’re a groovy band that just locks in in the groove. Their heavy sound is wildly entertaining. They’re a band that isn’t over the top technical, but very groovy and rhythm based like their […]
Kaiber Koi is a Melodic Progressive Metal/Rock band with beautiful vocal melodies and guitars that draw you in like a beautiful Daniel Tompkins voice. Those guitar melodies are all over “Archaic Wave” which draws you in, and some sweet rhythms too. For a debut, it’s pretty solid. It’s not […]
Avikari is a melodic instrumental band that recently released a killer new song “Timeless”. It’s a great mix of modern progressive metal with more melody and some electronic sampling too. The project is based out of Vancouver, where the water is really good and breed some great artists. If […]

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 […]
Progressive Power Metal Band Mortanius is releasing their first full length album “Til Death Do Us Part” on February 22nd and we have the low down for you here at TMR! This band is very entertaining with its symphonic and neoclassical elements, adding all those acoustic and classical guitar […]
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 […]
