A day left until Progstravaganza X launch! We are presenting you the specially designed Progstravaganza website, where all of the bands featured on the sampler have the pages with biographies and other features. The website will be updated on a regular base with new interviews, reviews, streams and other specials. Stay tuned!

 

We have now reached number 10 in the Progstravaganza series of compilations. And being that it is a jubilee edition, we decided to do something totally different. First of all, this compilation is uploaded to Prog Sphere's Bandcamp profile, which means that you can get it in high-quality audio. But that's not the greatest thing about this Progstravaganza.

Some time ago, we expanded our activities and now we are running Prog Sphere Promotions, a boutique agency providing bands representation and public relations in the music industry. For this Progstravaganza, the decision was made to establish a totally new subsite (http://progstravaganza.prog-sphere.com/) where all the bands/participants of the sampler would be presented through interviews, reviews, streams and special features during a period of 30 days. It also means that these bands will be presented on the websites of our partners as well in the way of reviews, interviews and radio airplays. Other methods include direct-to-fan approaches and social networking with the aim of building and expanding fanbases. 

This would be the technical side of Progstravaganza X. Now speaking of the music, this sampler is mostly progressive rock/metal, but there are other genres represented as well, proving that Prog Sphere is about being diverse and progressive.
