The Polish cosmic proggers have transformed themselves from a studio project to a live act with name support. Polish art-proggers Amarok are a band that has been reborn not once but twice. Originally formed in Warsaw in 1999 by guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Michał Wojtas and guitarist Bartosz Jackowski, the band released three albums before […]
“Our music is a bit like the weather,” considers Artur Wolski, the guitarist and keyboard player of Polish proggy art-rockers Oudeziel. “There are songs that start on a lazy morning, when the fog evaporates and the sun rises. There are elements of a summer storm that comes suddenly. We live close to the Baltic Sea […]
Meet the atmospheric London trio who struggle to be pigeonholed “It is very much soundscaping and atmosphere above melody.” It is hard to believe Talie Rose Eigeland had barely played guitar or sung before launching Teiger around two years ago, given the depth and conviction of their self-titled debut album. “It’s happened very fast in […]
Cosmic French duo Alber Jupiter hail from Rennes in North West France which is best known for its medieval half-timbered houses and neoclassical cathedral. The pair grew up there listening to artists like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, though the real epiphany for them came when, as teenagers, they accidentally caught the Chilean space rockers […]
In 1996, when Nils Erikson released his Swedish Grammy-nominated debut //Spår//, Anders Lundquist took a fateful call from Sony records. “The guy said, ‘You like Peter Gabriel, right?’ I said, ‘Well, my son’s name is Gabriel – that’s a clue!’” A music journalist, musician and lyricist, Lundquist was soon hired to write the bio for […]

Prior to entering the music industry however, both had careers as actors and first met while performing in a local Shakespeare production. “It was one or the other really for me,” Cannings begins, “Music has always followed […]
Live performances by the Tunisian prog metallers ensure an ongoing dialogue with fans and a message of hope. Zahar Zorgati and Kevin Codfert – singer and keyboardist/producer respectively of Tunisian prog metellars Myrath – are laughing loud and long, incredulous at the cliché that bands make music for themselves and if anyone else likes it […]
It took Plantoid three moves around the UK – from Lincoln to London to Brighton – for roots to form, to find a supportive record label, for their career to blossom further. Although the bandmembers are still young in age, theirs is certainly not an overnight success. “We’ve probably been going for about eight, nine […]
UK prog trio explain that their conceptual trilogy was never meant to get this far. Final Coil was originally a solo project born from the mind of Phil Stiles [vocals, guitar, synths] back in 2002, but didn’t remain a one-man band for long. After meeting guitarist Richard Awdry through a mutual friend, the duo would […]
Celebrated doyens of progressive doom metal, Pallbearer became legendary almost immediately. Their debut album, //Sorrow And Extinction//, emerged in 2012 to widespread acclaim, as this mysterious band from Little Rock, Arkansas, skilfully blended enormous, post-Sabbath riffing with strange, crestfallen melodies and several tons of haunting atmosphere. 12 years on, Pallbearer are certified legends in the […]
