Fates Warning - Long Day Good Night

Submitted by rockavlon on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 00:26

I must admit that if I like Fates Warning for any reason, over any of the other popular prog bands, ie Dream Theater and Queensryche, not to disregard some less popular, but equally artistic contemporaries of theirs is that they somehow always progressed, never resting on their laurels (for too long), or released a patently bad record. They might have experienced slower periods, times when they changed their sound rather drastically, but they always seemed to be artistically driven.

Her Chariot Awaits - Her Chariot Awaits

Well, when it comes to female voices, I want either angelic voices, or gruff nasty screaming rock goddesses… the in-between vocalists, they need to either have a totally amazing timbre or to be singing really well-crafted songs that might make up for any perceived shortcomings.

Psychotic Waltz - The God-Shaped Void

Submitted by rockavlon on Sun, 02/02/2020 - 02:34

It’s quite hard to realize what expectations might be for Psy-Waltz’s return after an absence of more than two decades. Back in the day the released some four albums in quick succession and then, well Buddy Lackey turned into Devon Graves and continued after a weird and lo fi solo, with Dead Soul Tribe and Shadow Theory, exploring different musical landscapes, but not entirely alien at the same time.

Chiasmata release music video for new single “Foreboding”

Submitted by newseditor on Fri, 01/24/2020 - 13:30

Progressive metal quartet Chiasmata have released the video for their latest single “Foreboding”, the third taste of their forthcoming release.

The video for “Foreboding” explores the song title in a fitting manner. The figures represented by the band appear misrepresented against the beautiful landscapes that provide the setting for this piece. Unable to shake the feeling that something is wrong, it becomes abundantly clear that this release deals with a struggle of powerlessness.
