Iomair release “Embodiment of Emptiness” and “Cast Away” from upcoming debut EP

  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 […]

Nomera- Holos

  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 […]

Samuli Federley- Lifestream

Instrumental Prog guitarist Samuli Federley released “Lifestream” July 20th through Inverse Records.  I am so glad I checked this out.  Anyone that is into melodic, experimental guitarists that don’t overdo it and create great soundscapes (IE Graham Young).  Federley also seems to have a flair for the dramatic and […]

Quasi Stellar Radio Source- I

Quasi-Stellar Radio Source released their debut EP “I” in May.  The band is a Cinematic Progressive Rock band with layered songs.  The Italians seem to focus on layering songs, transitions, mood and melody.  Don’t expect blast beats, growls and crazy speed surpassing 200 BPM.  QSRS is an atmospheric […]

Between The Buried And Me- Automata 2

North Carolina’s premier prog band released the second part of the “Automata” series recently and like Auotmata 1 took a long time to sink in…..why? Well, for starters the second release was melodic like part one but a lot more experimental! The band incorporated more jazz elements and even some […]

Jollymon- Voidwalker

  Now, there has been a decent number of bands and artists that have reached out to me since the website’s inception in February.  This has to be one of the coolest bands I digitally laid my hands on since then in the sense its not another kiler […]
