Count Zero - Little Minds Review by Logan812

This is my first album review on progfreak.com

Although not as nearly as experimental as Count Zero's previous album, Robots Anonymous, this album may take a few listens to be fully appreciated. Little Minds ...

Count Zero - Robots Anonymous Review by Logan812

The most experimental of Count Zero's albums for better or worse.

Chosen - Resolution Review by Time_Signature

After a turbulent history of transatlantic relocations, break-ups, reunions and hiatuses, the Irish extreme metal act Chosen are finally ready to released their debut full-length "Resolution". And, chances are that the album will ...

Terminate - Ascending to Red Heavens Review by Time_Signature

Do you remember the Swedish death metal scene back in the 90s?

Melodeath, you say? No, before melodeath.

Yeah, that's right. The Stockholm scene of the early 90s.

Do you ...

Victor Griffin's In-Graved - Victor Griffin's In-Graved Review by Time_Signature

Pentagram released "Last Rites" in 2011, and the following year the mythical Pentagram-related act Bedemon released their doom metal masterpiece "Symphony of ...

My Soliloquy - The Interpreter Review by Time_Signature

Evolving around Pete Morten of Threshold note, My Soliloquy has been around for more than a decade, but it is only now that their first proper album is released.

Edge of Attack - Edge of Attack Review by Time_Signature

Sometimes, I get the feeling that people are under the impression that I do not like power metal per se. That's a grave misunderstanding. I only dislike power metal ...

Lancer - Lancer Review by Time_Signature

Another agent in the current Swedish wave of retro heavy metal, Lancer recently released their eponymous debut album, proving that old school metal is very much ...

Mono - For My Parents Review by PowerWyrm

For all the parents in the world: we love you. And what better way to say it than with this gorgeous melancholic album.

Kong - Merchants Of Air Review by PowerWyrm

Good rocking instrumental progressive metal. A bit repetitive for me... but still a solid album.

My Dying Bride - A Map Of All Our Failures Review by PowerWyrm

In the vein of their last albums. Not bad, but after Evinta or even The Barghest O'Whitby, the songs lack originality...

Cradle of Filth - Midnight In The Labyrinth Review by PowerWyrm

If like me you're someone that loves Cradle of Filth's music but hates the unbearable vocals they use... then this album is for you. A collection of re-recorded songs from their first albums in orchestral versions with only female ...

The Gathering - Disclosure Review by PowerWyrm

Only one word: gorgeous.

Paul Gilbert - Vibrato Review by Mike

Great slow pace guitar shred slash blues album, and as is always the case with Paul Gilbert: great musical humor. Prog Fans listen up: though the album is not prog, it includes the Yes masterpiece Roundabout as a bonus cover track!

Kreator - Phantom Antichrist Review by PowerWyrm

This is the second breakthrough in Kreator's career after "Coma of Souls". This album shows more maturity, with the thrashy songs perfectly blended with more melodic parts. A must have.

Yossi Sassi - Melting Clocks Review by Time_Signature

Yossi Sassi is best known for his dayjob as guitarist and main composer in the Israeli folk metal band Orphaned Land - and that is in itself of course something to be very proud of - but with his debut solo album Melting ...

Candlemass - Psalms For The Dead Review by PowerWyrm
My favorite Candlemass album. All compositions are very solid, the result is almost flawless. I just regret the "Iron Man" ripoff ("The Killing Of The Sun") and the last song ("Black As Time") with its pointless spoken part.

Steve Vai - The Story of Light Review by Mike
Nice - but not as great as Vai's truly classic albums of the 1990s. If you're a fan not only of Vai, but of nice guitar music in general - go for it, but it's not as bold and "out there" as his masterpieces of old.

Faust - Something Dirty Review by tamijo
Faust Delivers a fine protion of Avantgrade Kraut, with a strong spice of Industrial Noice Rock, a very good album, for those into experimental music, but hard to swallow if you prefer melodic prog.

Paradise Lost - Tragic Idol Review by PowerWyrm
Clearly an Icon/Draconian Times ripoff. But at least it's a good ripoff...

Rush - Clockwork Angels Review by rdtprog
Very good for 40 minutes and enjoyable for the rest!

Unisonic - Unisonic Review by PowerWyrm

A supergroup consisting of Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Kai Hansen (ex-Helloween, Gamma Ray) and members of Pink Cream 69. The music here is a very open mix of hard rock and heavy metal recalling everything these guys have done ...

Genshi-Kyodotai (Primitive Community) - Primitive Community Review by DamoXt7942

Another incredible creation in 1971.

Just like "Amalgamation" by Soundbreakers, GENSHI-KYODOTAI (PRIMITIVE COMMUNITY) have given the first loud / eccentric shout upon their eponymous album. As for me, cannot forget the ...

Aquilus - Griseus Review by Time_Signature

Never having heard the music of the Australian one-man band before, I have seen Aquilus' music described as neoclassical folk music, and I honestly expected ...

Chthonic - Seediq Bale Review by Time_Signature

Chthonic pretty much swept the feet away under the world with "Takasago Army" last year, but the band actually released a good handful of releases prior to the brilliant "Takasago Army". One of these is "Seediq Bale" from 2005 which ...

Lars Eric Mattsson - Obsession Review by Time_Signature

Having released "Aurora Aborealis" in 2011, which I thought was a bit too minimaslitic in terms of everything but the lead guitar, Lars Eric Mattsson is now rereleasing 1998's "Obsession", which is a release that appeals much more to ...
