Brilliant retro/symphonic/folky prog from Norway. Pastoralia was great, but I think I like this even better! This album sounds as if they made it for me, simply love it!
If you're imagining Mirage-era Camel with Norwegian woods, er, words, you'll might guess what to expect. At least, that's how I would describe it. Or just check the liner notes here. They nail it, too... Carsten Pieper
Over a year ago I was moved to investigate a band I had not listened to before from Ukraine, partly as a way of showing some solidarity. The band was Karfagen. Since then I have been slowly working my way through their back catalogue and Anthony Kalugin's numerous other projects. They have become some of my most listened to contemporary Prog albums. This live recording brings some of the highlights together and is a shining example of the triumph of art over adversity Dr Clovenhoof
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the 1975 debut album of this band, just when it was released, and "C'è un paese al mondo" was - and still is - one of my top favorites of 70's Italian symphonic rock. Sadly, the splendid debut was also the band's swan song, but thanks to a recent resurrection, including original lead singer Alberto Ravasini and one of the main songwriters, Sergio Lattuada, we get the pleasure of a late follow-up album, sounding quite authentically like "Maxophone" as we knew it.
