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.
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.

Dead Combo - Lisboa Mulata (2011)
Last days I hadn't the time to hear anything new, and as I don't want the blog to stay without posts for too long, I decided to share something with you. These guys a duet(composed of To Trips and Pedro Gonçalves) from Portugal famous for being amazing, incarnating in their sounds the magic lived in Lisbon and Portugal. They are Dead Combo. I will leave you two songs "Esse Olhar Que Era Só Teu" A song breathing Lisbon ambience everywhere, this is what you will feel if you ever visit Lisbon.
The second one is the self-titled song "Lisboa Mulata" the iconic song from the album, this impersonates the cultural mix existing in Lisbon so well. Listen this one with the stereo effect, becomes so amazing

NEMUER - Chapter V: Labyrinth of Druids(2016)
One of these days I was roaming inside the folk/world music departing from similar stuff to Irfan and/or The Moon and the Night Spirit and stumbled upon this band, Nemuer, a clear mix of influences form here and there, the first music I heard was "Caves of Damnation" a calmer song with some sounds thinking like deep sea calls or calls from within, I immediately felt in love with it. The final crescendo is something simply amazing.
The second song I hear is way darker in ambience than the first one, a different taste if you may think. the song is called "Those Who Are Not Seen"
The third song is "The Isle of Awakening", after a darker ambient, now a chill one with sounds of the shoreline near the sea, to breathe the calm within
The final song I am showing you is "Castle (Dedicated to H. P. Lovecraft)" this is what you would expect if your lost in a maze inside a dense forest in a game, but it seems to give you the hint of the exit in it as you get closer. Nice one

In The Woods - Pure(2016)
Cheers, Hope you had an amazing new year's eve and the new year may bring amazing new sounds for us to hear. To start this year, I will show you something I found recently, despite being from 2016. In some way this made me remember of Amorphis with a feeling darker than what Amorphis sing about usually, full of power, but I already checked they have even heavier sounds. Hope you enjoy this "Cult of Shining Stars"
