Irreversible Mechanism’s sophomore album was released yesterday, and has raised all kinds of eyebrows for fans of the technical/progressive death metal newcomers now turned more melodic and more atmospheric. For fans like myself who have been there for a few years since the 2015 mind-blowing tech death […]
Do you like your prog death metal mixed with pop and folk sections? Iomair will help you scratch that itch. Dylan Gowan of Canadian band Vesperia launched this outfit recently, and is absolutely awesome. The self titled debut EP is set to be released through Infamous Butchered […]
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 […]
Instrumental Prog guitarist Samuli Federley released “Lifestream” July 20th through Inverse Records. I am so glad I checked this out.
