9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated November 01, 2021 2607 1 2

Following up their last epic opus 'The Astonishing' Dream Theater seems to be moving in the opposite direction for this new one with a heavier and more back to the roots approach. My first impression of 'Distance Over Time' wasn't too overwhelming, and it...

'Malina' is the fifth studio album from Norwegian prog rockers Leprous and it represents a slight change in direction musically comparred to their previous releases. The change is not too dramatic but I guss you can say the the song structures somehow appears to...

THE TANGENT A Place In The Queue Hot

5.0

Album A ArcticMetal Updated April 05, 2018 2861 0 1

Det svensk/britiske superprosjektet The Tangent er aktuelle med sitt tredje studioalbum.
