Hi Folks....
I thought I'd just pop by the Ministry, and with Steve's permission, just make a suggestion... Vauxdvihl's To Dimension Logic is a very difficult album to get hold of in the UK these days...but I've just noticed that Caiman are selling one for Ł11.98 on Amazon at present...

The text is a bit contradictory ... it says that one of the LPs will remain exclusive to the box, and at the end it says that *all* the contents are exclusive. I would speculate that we will at least see the LP version of Blood Mountain as a separate release ... ------------- https://tagyourmusic.org/users/Mike" rel="nofollow - https://tagyourmusic.org/users/Mike |

OSI
(The fact that the guys have been working on a new album has already been reported in PA. This is the latest news on the project.)
New album in spring 2009 Guests: Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) & Mikael Ĺkerfeldt (Opeth) Experts consider the music of the creative duo, OSI, a perfect example of inventiveness and innovation. Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos have released two albums to date (Office Of Strategic Influence, 2003, & Free, 2006) and are currently working on their new, as yet untitled third recording, scheduled for release in spring 2009. Along with Moore and Matheos, the new album will also feature Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison. In addition, there will be a guest appearance by Mikael Ĺkerfeldt (Opeth) on 'Stockholm', which the Swede co-composed. Mixing is scheduled to begin in early December with engineer Phil Magnotti. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Ever wondered had Tori Amos, John Petrucci and Fat Boy Slim got together to form a Progressive Metal Band, what they would have sounded like? No I hadn't either! Well look no further. Well constructed songs, beautifully played by an extraordinary and highly talented band from Italy fronted by Monia Rossi. Boy does she have a fabulous voice!
They experiment from pop to technical metal with references to trance thrown in for good measure and much much more.
The album tops my list of purchases for December and I would highly recommend you add it to yours.
If this is the future of female fronted Progressive Metal then the future is indeed bright.
I hope they get the exposure and support they fully deserve for such an excellent debut.
Farther Paint (Album due for release 5th December through Lion-see calendar for futher info)
Hailing from Italy, Farther Paint are at the forefront of a new movement of progressive metal hailing from the country and were discovered on myspace. Farther Paint plays highly technical progressive metal but always with a keen eye on the song being the overall important element. Farther Paint carry the distinction of being fronted by the soulful female vocals of Monia Rossi, a voice that is able to convey pure emotion and adds an exciting element to the bands sound. Musically the band are fronted by the guitars of Francesco Federici, the keyboards of Gabriele Manocchi all underpinned by the bass work of Thomas Bianchi and drum monster Luca Prima whose work here deserves to propel him to the forefront of modern day drum masters. “Lose Control” is an experimental album where the instrumental parts don't prevail over the voice, but support it. It's composed by 8 tracks with two purely instrumental bookends. The first "lose control" is opening while "anger" sum up the whole concept album bringing it to a turning point. Farther Paint are about conveying an original sound, which is given prominence by vocals parts and by lyrics. The aim of the lyrics is to convey the same feelings expressed by the instrumentation. On the bands sound, the band comment, “It’s a perfect transposition of what we felt inside, in our heart, in our hands. It has been created in a free way without falling in what is expected by this kind of music and for this very reason we chose a female voice. In this way we could experiment without any limits, in a different way, maybe innovative. We were looking for a kind music not so easily classifiable, a mix of each member’s musical backgrounds to reach a shape that is unique, refined and with a particular attention for the technicality”. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Steve, there seams to be a bit of a movement in French Prog metal gathering pace...SUE, Adagio, Venturia etc... are these guys 'related' in any way??? ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Nuff said for sure!!
I am not aware of any close relation apart from the fact that Kevin Codfert from Adagio did play keyboards on Venturia's "The New Kingdom". Codfert does have his own studio; I don't know whether any of the bands have done any work there. It's possible.
Indeed the French PM movement is certainly gathering pace, however, I don't think it is just limited to France. I'm turning up new PM bands almost daily from all parts of the world.....and they are just traditional PM. I haven't dared make a list yet for Tech/Extreme/Post etc. Otherwise I think the PMT etc are going to run away as far as possible and never return!!!
South America and in particular Brazil seem to have a whole host of new bands making great stuff!
The future is looking very bright indeed!

Day Six
This relatively unknown band from Holland have finally finished recording their sophomore release. Woot!
The album is due to be mixed at the end of January next year.
If its as good as their debut (Eternal Dignity) which just happens to be my top Prog Metal album so far this century then we have a lot to look forward to.
Their Promo 2005 is available for free download from their website.

thanks for this Steve...you are doing an absolutely fabulous job in here...
I thought 5th Season was a real step up from their previous material... however I hope they aren't releasing this one too soon... only 18 months (ish) after the last one..
 they really need another album of strong material to make any headway in climbing out of Prog Metal's 2nd Div, imho... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

After a wait of 8 years LW return with their third album "Throughout Time" in January 2009.
From MySpace: THEY REPRESENT THE HYSTORY OF ITALIAN PROGRESSIVE METAL AND WITH THIS NEW ALBUM THEY REACH NEW LEVELS OF EMOTION WITH A MUSIC THAT IS AN INTENSE MIXTURE OF PROGRESSIVE METAL WITH THE PRESENCE OF MAJESTIC SYMPHONIC ELEMENTS, ONIRIC ATMOSPHERES AND LYRICAL MUSIC. IF DREAM THEATER, QUEENSRYCHE, RUSH, CRIMSON GLORY COULD BE POINTS OF REFERENCE OF THEIR SOUND, BE SURE THAT IN THEIR MUSIC YOU WILL FIND MANY MORE FACETS THAT WILL CARRY YOU IN A MAGIC VORTEX OF FEELINGS.

Aeon Zen
Richard Hinks and Lloyd Musto are Aeon Zen, formed in July 2008. They are music students at Goldsmiths College, London.
http://www.myspace.com/aeonzen - http://www.myspace.com/aeonzen
http://www.aeonzen.com/ - http://www.aeonzen.com/
The following is the latest update on their debut album progress; from what I've heard so far this could well be one of the releases of 2009. The guest appearances alone are making me salivate already! Please visit their website for further information.
First off, we are delighted to announce that Nils K. Rue from the band Pagan's Mind will be appearing on 2 tracks on the first Aeon Zen album. This completes the line up for the album, which will be detailed a bit further down! Secondly, the album is to be called A Mind's Portrait. We also have a tentative release date of 1st May 2009 on Time Divide Records. So keep your eyes and ears peeled and open (respectively of course) for that! Also if you haven't noticed, the album sample availble to listen to either on our website or our myspace is page is being periodically updated as we gradually have more and more passages of audio excitement that we just have to share with you. So remember to check that periodically if you want to hear more of the album as it progresses. So yes, back onto album details! We can finally release a definitive (for now at least) track listing for A Mind's Portrait as follows: 1. Existence (featuring Andi Kravljaca (Silent Call) & Matt Shepherd (Timefall)) 2. Time Divine (featuring Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind) & Matt Shepherd (Timefall)) 3. Blinded Rain (featuring Andi Kravljaca) 4. Hope's Echo Pt. I (featuring Andreas Novak (Mind's Eye) 5. Hope's Echo Pt. II (featuring Andreas Novak) 6. A Mind's Portrait 7. The Circle's End 8. Heavens Falling (featuring Cristian Van Schuerbeck (All Too Human)) 9. Into the Infinite (featuring Nils K. Rue) 10. Goddess 11. The Demise of the Fifth Sun (featuring Elyes Bouchoucha (Myrath)) I think that about covers it. We will also be gradually releasing videos documenting the album process some time in the not too distant future so there are still plenty of goodies to look out for. A Mind's Portrait, to be released on Time Divide Records on 1st May 2009. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Forgotten Suns have signed to Prog Rock records and will be releasing their debut with the label in the New Year. See calendar for details. "This is truly the best progressive piece we did up to date, it will not be easy to overcome tracks like 'News', 'Outside In' or 'Nanoworld' on future albums – all tracks got the hooks for the most demanding progressive rock & metal fans with dense song writing - which is already a Forgotten Suns trademark - intricate polyrhythmic passages, deep lyrics, great singing and roaring solos on all instruments… " ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Persona Non Grata have signed with Sensory and will be releasing their debut in March next year. See calendar for further details.
Persona Non Grata’s formation began in 2003 when John Ioannidis (keyboards) invited Chris Gatsos (guitars) to join his group Fatal Error. It didn’t’ take long for John and Chris to realize that they had to move on to progressive metal music which was a mix of rock that John loved to play and heavy metal that Chris grew up with. In order to achieve this they had to change the band’s line up. During this period they focused on writing the music which would be the material for their first CD “Shade In The Light”. It was 2 years later when vocalist, Bill Axiotis, joined the PnG group and they started recording this album. They asked session musicians Akis Gavalas (drums) and Chris Vogiatzis (Bass) to help record the album. When the sessions were over they felt a synergy with the three members of the band and came on board permanently, completing the lineup of Persona Non Grata. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Last year I was fortunate to find Fragile Vastness and Astarte Syriaca. (and btw if you haven't bought these and you are reading this thread YOU should be ashamed too!
)This year my first purchase is the debut from Implosion "Lucidity In Quietus"
....and omg what a debut! Seriously it has blown me away in a similar vein to my first DT, PoS purchase many moons ago.
Do yourself a favour buy it, its available via CDbaby, Amazon or via d/l through Itunes or emusic. You won't regret it, I promise. Awesome talent. The 17" track "Redemption" - brilliant! They deserve your support.

Queensryche Queensr˙che Salutes The Troops With American Soldier Concept Album Inspired By Veterans’ Stories Examines The Album Available March 31 From Atco/Rhino; U.S. Tour To Begin April 16 In Seattle Queensr˙che envisions war through the eyes of a soldier with the band’s twelfth studio release, the epic concept album AMERICAN SOLDIER. The ambitious album encompasses a dozen songs inspired by numerous interviews with veterans conducted by Geoff Tate, the group’s singer and chief songwriter, who was intent on telling their story using their words. After speaking with soldiers who served in various conflicts—from World War II to Iraq—Tate turned their firsthand experiences from the frontlines into an unflinching musical examination of the life of a solider and the consequences of war. AMERICAN SOLDIER will be available from Atco/Rhino on March 31 for a suggested list price of $18.98 (CD) and $9.99 (digital). Geoff Tate recorded many of his interviews with the soldiers, and some dialogue from these discussions is mixed into several of tracks, allowing the soldiers’ own words to help tell their compelling stories. The band also brought a few of the soldiers into the studio with them to record vocals. The verses of the track "Unafraid" feature the voices of Chris Devine, a Vietnam veteran, and Sean Lenahan, a veteran of Somalia, recalling their war experiences while Tate provides the anthemic chorus. Also making a guest vocal appearance is Tate’s 10-year-old daughter Emily on the gripping duet "Home Again," which examines the emotional toll of war from two perspectives, with Geoff singing from the soldier’s point of view and his daughter singing from the viewpoint of the child left behind.
Making the album, Tate says, was an enlightening process. "I was surprised to learn how little has changed through the generations. I spoke with a Vietnam vet whose experience wasn’t all that different from a soldier who fought in Somalia almost 30 years later. But what surprised me the most was how antiwar most soldiers are. To me, that makes their sacrifices even more moving." Soon after the release of AMERICAN SOLDIER, Queensr˙che will launch an extensive spring tour of the U.S., with international dates to follow later in 2009. The shows will be presented in three suites, with the band performing sets from AMERICAN SOLDIER, Rage For Order, and Empire. The first date of the tour will be April 16 at Snoqualmie Casino in the band’s hometown of Seattle. AMERICAN SOLDIER Track Listing 1. "Sliver" 2. "Unafraid" 3. "Hundred Mile Stare" 4. "At 30,000 ft." 5. "A Dead Man’s Words" 6. "The Killer" 7. "Middle Of Hell" 8. "If I Were King" 9. "Man Down!" 10. "Remember Me" 11. "Home Again" 12. "The Voice" ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Riverside
are working on their new album - "Anno Domini High Definition". The band has already begun recording, this time in Studio X in Olsztyn.
Keep up-to-date with the process on a special "record" website - http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFubm9kb21pbmloaWdoZGVmaW5pdGlvbi5jb20v - Mariusz Duda: "We have gone from Warsaw, we have changed the studio and the producer. We care deeply about creating a coherent record and that is why most probably there are only going to be 5 songs on it. The material will be energetic, multifarious, and - I hope so - very good for live performances. It will be a story about liquid modernity, life in a constant hurry, stress and anxiety about the future. A picture of our times in 1920 x 1080 definition." The expected release date is June 2009. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112 Colt - Admin Team MMA

Well in that case, I'm sure as hell going. And I don't care if I have to drive 4 or 5 hours to see this. -------------

Hello All,
We want to apologize for the delay in not putting up any new music in the last 15 years. As some of you know, and some of you don't know..Samus Octology was written and recorded almost 6 years ago, but officially released in 2007, so it has been a while since we have released any type of music. We are excited to announce the release date for our new record "SOL EYE SEA I" which is February 17th through Translation Loss Records. This will be available on CD and vinyl. You can buy these directly from us as well as through www.translationloss.com on February 17th. The artwork was done by our friend Chad Lenjer (www.discordantart.com). Check him out, he is truly amazing. NEW SONG: Check out "CYETTE PHIUR" from the record on our myspace player. FULL US TOUR: We are excited to be heading out on a FULL US TOUR with our friends and labelmates: BATTLEFIELDS. Check the tour dates. More info on most of them will be announced shortly. We will see you all soon. Peace -Dino, Sheel, Shan, Bret, Jarrett |
