The same crazy Russian duo who brought us the amazing 2013 album Based On A True Story just released “Me Or Him”. It’s another one of their tasty, personal blend of experimental djent. Second To Sun aren’t inspired by the format of an album, however, and will most probably continue releasing singles this way. Enjoy!… Read more

Serious Beak’s new album needs your help!
Seems like it’s crowdfunding week for the obscure prog bands! Saturday’s Thinking Plague Kickstarter, and today’s Serious Beak Pozible. Farewell, money! So, here’s the tl;dr: SB will release their new album Ankaa through their label Art as Catharsis in November 2015 if they meet their goal of getting $3,500 in one month. The album contains four tracks of decent length (3, 13, 10, and 8 minutes) and with epic titles (such as “Main Sequence (Dacelo novaeguineae)”. The money raised will serve to print vinyls – if that’s your thing – and surplus money will serve to fund … Read more
Earth’s Yellow Sun – The Infernal Machine
After their last year’s debut EP “Prologue”, Toronto-based instrumental prog once-trio now-quintet Earth’s Yellow Sun has released The Infernal Machine, a 5-part, 23 minute long prog rock song of epic proportions. After that overly complicated and long introduction sentence, let’s dig into the music.
The machine starts with a short opening segment, quickly followed by djent-influenced riffing. They don’t lose time with fancy introductions and cut straight to business. The music is heavily layered, with keyboards and saxophones taking lots of place. This isn’t anything new on the current prog metal scene, but it’s well-done enough that it doesn’t … Read more
Sein Zum Tode – Siamese Second Cousins Never Removed
Lately I’ve been very busy – and tired – because of work, music, relations… basically everything other than writing about weird music that only 10 people know about worldwide. Also, I’ve felt very overwhelmed recently, with the huge ass pile of new and amazing music that fell upon me. I also felt like I couldn’t convey how amazing these bands were, and that I am a poor music blogger. But I recalled that I’m not a reviewer and my role is not to critique or review albums, but just to talk about the music that I like, and that I… Read more Review: Kes – Kamlama
Kes is a band from Turkey, and apparently Kamlama is their debut album. If you’re thirsty for some great instrumental progressive rock not too far off from Indukti, you won’t be disappointed!
The trio is the standard instrumental rock form: one guitarist, one bassist, and one drummer. Each with their standard number of strings and drums parts. I believe it’s quite difficult to acquire music instruments and services in Turkey, at least that’s what I’ve heard, but these guys seem to have some high-end gear and top-notch sound/mix quality. Good for them, and, ultimately, good for … Read more
