Progressive(ly) Metal

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.

Paratra - Testament(2018) and 2014 posts updated

This post today, serves to inform I updated all 2014 posts where videos and images were offline and whenever possible updated the videos. I will futurely do it for other years.
But as I don't want an empty post, music wise, I will share with you a recent discovery. Paratra, from India a psychadelic rock band.

The band is originated from Mumbay, a city close to where I once was. Paratra at the moment are Samron Jude in Guitars and Akshat Deora on Sitar

Testament came out in 2018, I knew from Gentle Storm's project that a Sitar could accompany Rock and metal really well. Let me share with you "Crazy Dream". A good mix of oriental vibes with electornic. I enjoyed it a lot, hope you will too. Cheers.
