Arcade Messiah – Arcade Messiah – Album Review
Artist: Arcade Messiah Album Title: Arcade Messiah Label: Stereohead Records Year of Release: 2014 Instrumental metal is not generally a subgenre of music that I particularly enjoy. I find that, more often than not, the music tends to be lacking a vital ingredient, one which renders the output rather one-dimensional and, well, boring. Of course Continue Reading »

Artist: Triosphere Album Title: The Heart Of The Matter Label: AFM Records Year of Release: 2014 Isn’t it nice to discover new bands? Blimey, that’s what I enjoy most, what I do the most and why this blog exists in the first place. What’s particularly nice about my latest discovery, Triosphere, is the way in Continue Reading »
Knight Area – Hyperdrive – Album Review
Artist: Knight Area Album Title: Hyperdrive Label: The Laser’s Edge Year Of Release: 2014 Around 2008/09, I developed a real love for ‘neo-prog’ music.

Artist: H.E.A.T Album Title: Tearing Down The Walls Label: earMUSIC Year of Release: 2014 One of the hardest things for any band to do, regardless of the longevity of their career or their popularity is to follow up a great album. In the case of Swedish melodic hard rockers H.E.A.T, that great album in my Continue Reading »
Vanden Plas – Chronicles Of The Immortals: Netherworld – Album Review
Artist: Vanden Plas Album Title: Chronicles Of The Immortals: Netherworld Label: Frontiers Records Year of Release: 2014 ‘Chronicles Of The Immortals: Netherworld’ is a grand title, some might even call it over-the-top or pompous. For a lot of bands, such an album title would cause untold damage, as the music behind the title fails to Continue Reading »
James LaBrie – Impermanent Resonance – Album Review
Artist: James LaBrie Album Title: Impermanent Resonance Label: Inside Out Music Year of Release: 2013 Blessed with an instantly recognisable voice and one of the most enviable day jobs in metal, James LaBrie hardly needs any introduction to the vast majority of metal heads.
