Cheers, one of this days I came across a new Lunatic Soul song which will be available in 25th May, it has everything you may expect from this project from Riverside's Mastermind Mariusz Duda. It is short for now, but for usre makes me want to hear more in the future. the song is called "Untamed"
As you might have notice this blog plays around the progressive word, The main objective is to help on the promotion of metal and trying to change the perspective metal=noise. However, Expect the unexpected. Mainly focussed on progressive metal or rock, but easily going to catch some good stuff to bands with only some progressive elements. And sometimes also going totally out of the progressive genre and of metal. Help you discovering what has been done of value around the world in my opinion.

God is an Astronaut - Epitaph (2018)
Cheers my Friends, Today THIS had to be my post, I found 27th April its the release of Epitaph, usually when a band releases an Epitaph it announces the end of the band. All God is an Astronaut fans hope it will not be their end cause this is toooooo good.
On March they had already released a song for the upcoming album, with the same name as the album, "Epitaph". This song starts really calm, but not monotonic it has variances which makes one focused on the song, and some of the details in between that seems like we are alone on a Carriage or a train an see the sound of everything passing by and there we stay only us and our thoughts. Suddenly it increases its strength like a turbulence of our darkest dreams and fears. Then it gets calmer again as we found our peace and accept what we are. The video is kind of dark showing, following really well the song cause most of the times photography only captures what is good on this world and never shows the pain and anguish always so present.
Already on this month they released a new video called "Komorebi", it is more of a post-progressive song but is not that what takes its mystery. Being way more calmer and less strong as Epitaph, I love every bit of the music, makes me wander in the realm of Mono and that is a really really good indication. From video's discription:‘Komorebi’ is a word from Japanese. Think of the interplay between light and leaves when sunlight shines through trees. I think the word really evokes that feeling of being in a forest while the light gently caresses our heads, if you never felt that you must, ideally as far away as possible from the day to day cosmopolitan noises. Here when the song increases its tone is not so violent as in the other song is like suddenly the wind got stronger and stronger in our hair.
I had to post this this week, it is too good to be non-shared.
See you next week cheers.

Vanden Plas - Christ 0 (2006) and The Seraphic Clockwork(2010) and Chronicles Of The Immortals: Netherworld II(2015)
Cheers My friends. Today I decided to bring a band I am listening again on this days, contrarily to other bands I don't know their albums through so I will instead post my favourite songs from what I know from them, this is a Big return to Progressive metal posts.
I will show you two songs the first one has a title a lot of people will find it familiar as it has the same name as one of from Pink Floyd hits, "Wish you were here", However this as too little to do with Pink Floyd apart the progressive thing. I love everything in this song from the vocalists voice to the way the music evolves from start to beginning. A Special Thumbs up to the album cover Which I think is amazing.

The other song is called "Holes In The Sky" is less melodic than the other one but the progressive style remains I think more to what I would expect in some of the Threshold songs with Damian Wilson. I really enjoy it.

Les Discrets - Septembre et ses Dernières Pensées (2010)
Here in Portugal we have a saying which is"Better late than never" this is how I feel about this Les Discrets album, I am a Les Discrets fan for a while but never ventured in listening their first album, and now I understand I lost too much time not doing it, it is amazing as Les Discrets are used to give us, I guess the French fellows already know them, but don't know about everybody else.
This first song I am showing you is "Les Feuilles De L'olivier", it is a strong music but one of those which never looses its melodic sense in between specially that part arround the 1:50-2:00 minutes
The second one, 4th of the album, is my absolute favorite "Song For The Mountains", it really seems a lament and the chorus are so intense we feel what he is saying
The 3rd one is "Sur Les Quais", at first it almost seemed it was sang in Portuguese, but no. Despite of that it's also really pleasurable to hear.
The last one I will be showing you for now is "Chanson d'automne", one of thsoe that really starts strong and nice, and as it approaches the end it gets softer while remaining really nice
