Osyron
Bo Hansen July 31, 2023Canadian progressive metal quintet Osyron didn’t leave themselves much wriggle room when they called their third album Momentous. Fortunately, these residents of Calgary, Alberta genuinely seem to have struck upon a new, potentially game-changing formula. While owing plenty to the hallowed likes of Dream Theater and Symphony X, Momentous also harnesses the cutting edge heaviness […]

Ocean Districts
Bo Hansen June 18, 2023“Getting enough people to attend the show is tough, because there’s so much music out there.” Prog can be a pretty insular place, even at the best of times, but Ocean Districts guitarist Martin Lepalaan says that that’s especially true in his hometown, Tallinn. “It’s small: 400,000 people,” the band’s founder tells us over a […]

JeGong
Bo Hansen June 18, 2023A fortuitous loan of a drum kit has led to a meeting and melting of minds. Few are the musicians for whom sharing their instruments with members of other bands is a pleasure, but for Reto Mäder and Dahm Majuri Cipolla the request from the latter to the former proved fortuitous – they ended up […]

Emma Tricca
Bo Hansen June 18, 2023“I feel this is a miracle record,” says Emma Tricca of her new album //Aspirin Sun//. London-based, Italian-born, and currently talking from her rented apartment in Manhattan’s East Village, she’s certainly created a thing of great beauty. Written as she grieved her father, its gentle psych melodies and fingerpicked guitars bring decades, even centuries, of […]

AVKRVST
Bo Hansen June 18, 2023The nihilistic Norwegians with prog rock running in their blood AVKRVST’s name is pronounced “Aw-crust”. Don’t worry if you ever get that wrong though: the band have made the same mistake as well. “We pronounced the first V at first,” singer and multi-instrumentalist Simon Bergseth admits on a video call with //Prog//. “We used to […]

Martin Miller
Bo Hansen June 18, 2023Meet the much-loved YouTube guitarist who finally gets to indulge his progressive temptations Put Leipzig-born guitarist Martin Miller’s first album side by side with his second and you wouldn’t believe it was the same artist. But a lot has changed in the ten years since //The Other End//. Namely, Miller has spent a decade honing […]

Polinski
Bo Hansen May 11, 2023Futuristic and thoroughly human soundscapes from the electronic mind of 65daysofstatic. “I still have a lot of faith in human beings. It’s just the system we have built around ourselves, the miserable machine, causing all the problems.” Paul Wolinski laughs as he says this, almost surprised by his own view of the state of things. […]

Covet
Bo Hansen May 11, 2023Life-affirming and joyful storytelling from a modern-day guitar master. Cowboys walking off into the sunset across vast deserts. Wizards stood in the middle of forests practising spells. Heroes riding into certain danger to save citizens from burning buildings. Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have in the world, and for Yvette Young, […]

Us & Them
Bo Hansen May 11, 2023Swedish duo Us & Them do a wonderful line in folkish beauty undercut with a generous helping of foreboding. It’s no surprise then to discover that they’re big fans of //The Wicker Man//. The pair are all set to release a new compilation of their work via the gloriously fecund Surrey-based Fruits de Mer label, […]

The Enigma Division
Bo Hansen May 11, 2023Ireland-based progressive metallers The Enigma Division formed in 2019 but their story begins much further back in time, 1977 to be precise. //Star Wars// had fired the world’s imagination and Nasa launched the Voyager Program to observe the outer limits of the Solar System. Guitarist Conor McGouran explains “People began to take an interest in […]
