Prog Rock

The big day has come! Aisles are glad to announce their new singer, Israel Gil, with a newly done version of the song “Smile of Tears”, which is originally featured on “In Sudden Walks (2009).

Says the band of the re-recorded track:

In support of the band’s recent live CD/DVD/Blu-ray release “CircuLive::NewView” modern prog band Circuline are announcing their 15-date New View virtual tour beginning on September 9th, 2020!

Sweden’s Opeth have come a long way in the past 30 years, having evolved from raw death metal to virtuosic and progressive vintage rock. Always forging their own path, the band have delivered 13 albums, each a fresh milestone within its genre and soon, the band centered around frontman and guitarist, Mikael Åkerfeldt, will be celebrating its 30th Anniversary.

Vocalist, drummer and multi-instrumentalist Nick D’Virgilio has announced the release of a new single entitled “I Know the Way”, the fourth to be lifted from his recently released solo album, “Invisible”. Lyrically, the record charts the quest of a central protagonist to find a true meaning to his life, with “I Know the Way” concluding proceedings on a spiritually charged, upbeat note that radiates positivity.

New Jersey progressive metal label Sensory Records announces the signing of Chicago, Illinois-based instrumental trio Aziola Cry. The band has recently wrapped production on their third full-length release, “The Ironic Divide”.
 

What do you get when you take two theatrical lead vocalists, a keyboard player from Juilliard, a versatile rock virtuoso on guitar, a zany bass player from another galaxy, and a drummer with progressive rock in his DNA? The modern cinematic rock band Circuline. Nominated for PROG Magazine’s 2016 “Limelight” award for best new band, Circuline has toured with Glass Hammer, repeatedly co-headlined the three-day Sonic Voyage Festival, and toured England in summer 2017 opening for IO Earth.

Following their self-titled 2016 debut EP, progressive rock and alternative metal virtuosos, Khaima, have announced the release of their first full-length album, “Owing to the Influence”, on October 30th, 2020, via Barhill Records.

Earlier this year, Gong announced an extensive run of UK tour dates, all of which have now been rescheduled for May 2021.

Tickets for rescheduled dates remain valid for 2021 minus Harpenden Halls, which will not be rescheduled. More info below.

Ayreon will be releasing a brand-new sprawling and epic studio album “Transitus”, on September 25th, 2020, via Music Theories Recordings.

From the mastermind of Dutch multi-instrumentalist Arjen Lucassen, “Transitus” is inspired by supernatural movies such as The Others, The Changeling and Ghost along with the music of soundtrack composers John Carpenter (Halloween), Ennio Morricone (Once upon a Time in the West) and Jerry Goldsmith (Omen).
