Obviously the one I'm most pumped about is Andromeda. CANNOT wait for this album!

 

incidentally, this thread is now being updated periodically, so check in occasionally to see if anything else has been added...

 

...the contents now also form a Blog on my MS page...

 

and according to my buddy Rushfan4, its a cracker....

 

yes, this is strange...they have an album out in a few weeks, and yet there is nothing on their MS page, or their record labels page advertising the fact....

 

maybe they don't want anyone to buy it?

 

anyway Andy, if you come up with some info, please let us know...

 

I'd be delighted to look into that, Mike...having chatted to a number of people (both in and out of PA), this is something which is clearly missing, as it can be soo very time-consuming to collate the data in the first place.  It could be a wonderful tool, but really needs the help of several people for it to be truly comprehensive...

 

incidentally, I';ve just been listening to 'Burst'...interesting stuff indeed...

 

I'll have a think about the best way to let you know of future additions as I become aware of them.

 

cheers, Steve..

 

you're a gentleman as always...

 

Anno Domini High Definition

Between the concerts, preparing live dvd and realizing some solo projects, the band has already started to work on the material for the newest record. Its title will probably be "Anno Domini High Definition". This record is planned to be the most energetic of all those released so far. Soon, there will be a separate column added to our website, where you may learn about the process of its production.

 

The band will start to record in January 2009 and the release is planned at the turn of May and June 2009.

 

sounds pretty good to me...I'll keep my eyes out for that one! (as will half the forum...)

Obsidian ( http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=3163 - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=3163 ) are in the studio recording now.  You can follow along with the recording process from their website.  Including video clips.. pretty interesting.

 

 

 

 

any future info to keep this thread going, will be much appreciated...

 

 

really enjoyed this band, but see they aren't on the archives as yet, so I have made a suggestion for Post Metal...

 

many thanks, Carbon...

 

 

Since finding a stable home on Lion Music in 2006 with “Mirror Of Creation II -Genesis 2”. German’s based metallers Tomorrow’s Eve have gone from strength to strength thanks to the exceptionally high and original quality of their music coupled with an ultra-powerful live show that has been impressing audiences across Europe over the last 2 years.

Now, Tomorrow’s Eve are back again with a powerhouse of an album. “Tales From Serpentia”, a collage of short stories, written by a twisted mind; dark and dreadful fictions from the abyss. Musically Tomorrow’s Eve still performs progressive metal, but with an emphasis on catchy melodic vocal lines and heavy riffs. The band plays complex but always accessible songs, holding interesting details to discover over repeated listens. In short: very dark, very melodic, and very accessible.

Shadrane

 

 

(Jared, Shadrane are yet to be listed in the archives (although noted under Vivien Lalu's main band Lalu) but have posted it anyway, if it's out of order please feel free to delete.)

 

http://www.myspace.com/shadrane for new album samples.

 

SHADRANE is the metal/progressive band-project of Vivien Lalu (Lalu, Hubi Meisel), Joop Wolters (Dutch guitar virtuoso) and the legendary brothers rhythm section of Matt and Gregg Bissonette (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai etc). From a vocal perspective SHADRANE makes use of different singers, according to the tracks needs with vocals coming from Göran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, Street Talk, Brazen Abbot), Björn Jansson (Tears Of Anger, Ride The Sky, Beyond Twilight) and Henrik Båth (Darkwater) along with some backing vocals from Martin LeMar (Tomorrow’s Eve).

Musically “TEMPORAL” is a blend of prog-metal (Temporal, She Writes), power-metal (Betrayal, Morpheus) and more pop driven rock (Rainy, Consider It) - yet Shadrane’s own personality shines through all the compositions.  "Temporal" is a must own release for all fans of bands from diverse selections such as Savatage and Dream Theater

 

The title "Audible Minority" is based to the fact that the music on the album has mapped itself into the extreme minority status; something beyond recognition of the musical norms. "Audible Minority" is a stateless, nameless, and label-less manifesto made from all the bitterness and pain. The album that is entirely bleak, gloom and dark.

Almost 2 years in the making, "Audible Minority" has been constructed during various personal events in life. It all began in September 2006, before the release of "The Habit of Fire", and continued to shape itself up until May 2008.

However, the "official", label-released versions (CD and digital) will have all 11 tracks plus some possible extras. After some discussion with the record label who will release the official version (CD and digital), we agree to push the release date to December 2008.

 

Steve, once again, many thanks for the 'heads up' on this one...

 

knowing how knowledgable you are, if you think a band's forthcoming album is prog metal, then please shove it on a post in this thread, even if the band concerned aren't listed on PA...

 

there is no doubt in my mind that this is prog...and as such, I will start a thread in our 'Suggest New Bands' section, for our Prog Metal team to get their teeth into...

 

but as far as I'm concerned, this is an excellent find, and should have no difficulty being added...so, cheers, mate...

 

The work will continue......

 

 

This Haven - Today A Wisper, Tomorrow a Storm, out 20 OCTOBER Sensational debut from Örebro, Sweden based metal / rock/ progressive act THIS HAVEN. An unique mixture of metal, stoner, hardcore and progressive rock. Produced, mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection). Cover art by Matt Vickerstaff (My Dying Bride covers amongst others). 'I have been a fan of THIS HAVEN since day one. There is something quite unique about the way they combine all their different influences, to come up with something fresh yet insanely heavy and catchy. With epic tracks like "The Fallen" and monstrous beasts like "Hero of your hell" or "I will Decieve" This Haven can really break into the major league of metal!! This album have been quite the journey for all of us. But for me it was worth every second.' Dan Swanö / Mixengineer, July 2008.

 

 

 

 

I'm really not sure where you find them all...but both have been added to our list...

DAEDALUS IS SIGNED TO GALILEO RECORDS AND WILL RELEASE THE ALBUM “THE NEVER ENDING ILLUSION” Daedalus is a band from Genoa, Italy. They joined together in 2000 and startet working on their songs drawing inspiration from different musical genres, trying to define a peculiar style and sound.

After a period of hard work, band settlement and a good number of live gigs, they recorded their first album in 2003. Leading far from a mistake (a self-made recording made with the little experience they had at the time). This was published by a small italian label.

Some sections of the album are performed by the italian vocalist Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth, www.labyrinthmusic.it). The tracks were mixed by Roland Grapow.

::THE NEVER ENDING ILLUSION
Almost each of the ten songs deals about a different way of being concerned with the dualism between reality and dream/illusion. The lyrics draw a sort of path starting from facing the every-day life, passing through the sensation of "something" existing beyond the common aspects of life, then ending with a contemplation of our own dreams, in a way that could be seen as the closing of the circle.

Right now MARK WILKINSON is working on the artwork.

The CD will be released early next year.

Atlanta's progressive power/thrash band HALCYON WAY have inked a deal with U.S. label Nightmare Records. Their debut CD, "A Manifesto For Domination", will be released worldwide on November 11, 2008.

The album was produced by guitarist Jon Bodan, mixed by Lasse Lammert (Alestorm), and mastered by James Murphy (Testament, Death).

Sounding like a cross between Megadeth, Dio, and Fates Warning, the band is known and recognized for its energetic and theatrical live performances, blazing guitar, intricate drumming, and three-part vocal harmonies. They have appeared live with acts such as Helloween, Symphony X, Kamelot, Brand New Sin, Cellador, Circle II Circle, To/Die/For, Doro Pesch, Strapping Young Lad, and many others. In addition, they appeared live at the ProgPower USA Showcase in 2004 and 2007, alongside bands such as Primal Fear, Threshold, Freak Kitchen, and Virgin Steele. Halcyon Way also performed twice at Rocklahoma in 2008, alongside bands such as Queensrÿche & Tesla, and many others.

Last update: September 2008

In photo - area Tim now "bildlich" as a Member of atmosfear! The home page is now gradually transformed - try understand when not all 100, we are working!
28.08 2008.

We thank our drummer OLAF great and unique cooperation over the last 10 years and wish him. Unfortunately, professional changes in OLAF on the separation of the belt.

It is with a six in Lotto to compare that we barely two weeks later with Tim beaked the gap close and atmosfear again rehearsed and productive works (Studio preparations).

Tintin, welcome to atmosfear!!!

 

thanks Steve...to all intents and purposes, this has already been released and is on sale, but I can't find a relase date as such, so I've left it off...

 

Inside...it's their debut, I believe...

 

Ah ok I have it and liked it.

 

Was kinda hoping I'd missed this and they had a new one out.

 

This is from their website.  I don't know what the top part says, but the bottom part does say that a new CD is being released in Autumn 2008:

 

NEUE PRODUKTION / NEW CD-RELEASE

Neue CD-Produktion (3.) ist für Herbst 2008 geplant.

Studio ist bereits vorgebucht.

 

New CD-Release is planned for autum 2008!

 

Thanks Scott...

 

I don't know how you feel, but I sometimes get the impression that some bands actually don't want anyone to buy their album... their marketing is truly atrocious...why isn't this plastered all over their MySpace page and ProgRock records homepage??...

 

It's like you have to get a team of experts on the case to decipher what the  is going on....

 

Ain't that us J?

 

it is mate....

 

but sometimes, I just think it would help if at least one of us had a  PhD in Hieroglyph interpretation...

 

(sorry, Sat PM strop on...)

 

 

promotionally it seems some bands go overboard whilst others are non-existent!

 

 

yeah, I had a look a few minutes ago and there is no update on them at all.

 

of course, we could do that Scott...you're absolutely right...

 

 

as far as I'm concerned, the purpose of this thread is for a few of us to have a quick trawl around the record label's homepages, perhaps once every fortnight, and create a (reasonably) up to date list of forthcoming PM releases, for the benefit of our PA members, and the site generally...

 

if others want to take this further, in an effort to unearth possible gems that we've vaguely heard about through the mysterious ether of the 'intrawebz', then feel free to do so...but I won't be joining in.

 

I'm sorry, but (contrary to how it presently appears) I'm just too busy to be able to offer this level of commitment...

 

that's right Scott...I don't want to appear grumpy, but as a general rule, you and I lead busy lives, and have other commitments on PA besides this thread; its all a question of time allocation.

 

If someone wishes to make more of the concept behind this thread for PA, then they'd be truly welcome, as I think it could be a really useful asset... but left to me, it will be on average, a once-a-fortnight update...

 

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=62298564&blogID=440227835 - http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=62298564&blogID=440227835

 

 

 

As I've said before J I'll do whatever you believe is necessary. Can you PM me as to what you think I can do or what is needed and we'll take it from there?

 

If that helps your commitments to other roles within the site all the better. 

 

Update:  release date confirmed as 11th November 2008.

Björn Engelman (Rammstein, Meshuggah, etc…) mastered the album at Cutting Room mastering studios in Sweden.

 

that indeed sound slike excellent news...

 

liked everything I've heard off 'Hope', but still don't own the album...
