News: Pangaea – The Balance music video

Pangaea recently released a music video for a song on their upcoming album, which has yet to be announced. The song in itself is really cool, and slowly, really slowly, builds on, progressively becoming heavier, and more complex, while going back to some smoother or more proggy moment from time to time. The band’s previous album, Unified, although pretty cool overall, didn’t have the drive or the originality of The Balance. So, we’re definitely looking forward to Pangaea’s new album, if this song is any indication of its overall quality. Even though the song isn’t perfect, there’s a … Read more

News: 15 seconds of the new Frontierer album

The good chaps at Frontierer released a 15 second teaser on their facebook page, and it sounds as interesting as ever.

News: Axon-Neuron releases a new song!

Shattered is a new song from jazz, rock and metal fusionists Axon-Neuron, and their first appearance on video, too! The new singer doesn’t depart too much from the band’s previous ones and seem to be a perfect match. In Shattered the band starts it really smooth only to build up continuously and end up in a progressive metal moshfest. I have said before and I say again that this band is a premium example of extended range guitars being used out of the djent spectrum, which has more or less become a parody of itself. The 9-string axe in … Read more
