Re: New stuff Friday ...
EIDOLA - Eviscerate I've only gone through it once so far, but I was quite disappointed. They've changed a bit since their last album, which actually was first time I really liked a full album of theirs (thanks Mr. Noren!), and have left the "swancore" style behind for most of the album. I am all f...

Evergrey - Theories of emptiness
Don't know if any of you care about Evergrey but I did a lot of artwork for them many years ago. We have been apart for a while but now I'm back doing the artwork for their new one. And it's a little bit unusual. They wanted to try something different and I really respect them for that. The comments...

Re: New stuff Friday ...
Well, I think that where "Legacy" and "Shehili" were very close to each other, and definitely warranted the perception of a band who'll keep putting out the same album over and over, "Karma" is a complete shift. They do no longer sound like a "middle-eastern folk based version of Kamelot meets Symp...

Lalu - The fish who wanted to be king
Happy release day to "The fish who wanted to be king". So glad to be a part of this project. Not only is the music completely to my taste, but it is also performed and composed by a collection of individuals that I like very very much. Have a listen! https://open.spotify.com/album/7ooGLDyB5gugflw7n5...

Lots of new music this Friday; I liked parts of the previous Alkaloid album. The new one didn't hit me at all. Tesseract has been my fav band in recent years, but I didn't really like the previous one (Sonder). Now they are back in form. So many fantastic moments on this album. It's really just the...

I love the new Riverside.
I love the new Katatonia.
But eMolecule beats both of these. This is new and refreshing.
Easiest way to describe them is possibly like a mix between OSI and Frost*.
Great album!!!

Re: PENDRAGON / Fallen Dreams and Angels - and all the loose ends.
This was my number one band for many years. I also started with "The world". Found it in the good old days in a record store and the cover artwork just sold it for me. And when I FINALLY was going to see them live for the firt time Covid came and killed that chance. Hopefully it's not too late yet.

Here's an italian band that has really caught my interest lately. Two singles out now from the album that will be released on October 21 and I really enjoy them both. Love the singer and some great Devin-influences in there.

I have seen the name but never checked them out, but now when they were announced for ProgPower Europe I had to do my homework. Obviously they are a pretty big name in their home country Finland. And I really like what I am hearing. A new album was just released by the way. https://youtu.be/lZ19oURE...
