youtube.com/watch?v=2rUQ... Underrated album from last year. FFO Dio, Black Sabbath during Dio & Tony Martin era.

I feel guilty for laughing, but this is so funny www.instagram.com/reel/DSk6oHB...

Finally finally new music by this superb band. And it doesn't disappoint. More please! youtu.be/ceQw_92nr44?...

Totally into a serious Skindred stint after having a nice interview with dredmaster Benji. Going to see them at the Alter Bridge festival in Cardiff Castle in June. Can't wait! youtu.be/h-kmLkfFrtU?...

Any fans of this band around? This band creates music that slowly creeps under my skin and I'm glad they're back with new stuff. Very promising 🎵 #ArcaneRoots t.co/Ye2uzSgjJy

If the rest of the new songs are this good, the new album will be killer. Drool drool... #PrehistoricAnimalsBand t.co/i6uS47oPYL

Like it! youtu.be/yhV6pCmmKJg?...

Crushing album with more melody than the previous ones. Crushing & melodic make an excellent combination. The new Gaerea

A longtime wish came true today: had a face to face interview with Lajon Witherspoon of 7D. Fantastic singer and amazing human being. He spontaneously sang a part of the chorus of this beautiful song and his voice was immediately 100% on. Goosebumps. youtu.be/xxXe8lZZQbI?...

Can't wait till this Sunday. It will be my FIRST time ever seeing a band playing live for the 25th time! What a milestone and so excited that it is none other than the incredible...

youtu.be/_KbClY3hL-E?... From the new album which wil be released in the birthday of metal! Another banger from #Primaluce

I have this feeling that if Johnny Cash would have covered "Between You, God, The Devil And The Dead" by #Avatarium it would be an instant classic. Sharing for no reason.

Last week, we had the biggest snow cover in the garden since we moved in 20 years ago. Loved it. Much missed.

Black metal that is not too symphonic, sounds raw but not like it's recorded in a garage, with lots of variety and face melting soloing that at times reminds me of Cacophony. All the good reasons why I dig the upcoming Worm album Necropalace.

@subsequentseer.bsky.social Listening to this gem for my AOTY list and keep thinking you will like this one. Are you already familiar? #BuriedRealm - The Dormant Darkness

youtu.be/rQDkZeKkMrQ?si… Textures In case you missed this one, check this out. One of the progmetal songs OTY if you ask me. And the whole upcoming album is truly amazing, spinning here for reviewing. It's easily holding up against some very big names releasing stuff in Q1!

Really excited to be playing this (for review purposes!). At long long long last!

Definitely one of the best Progmetal albums of 2025 and certainly a contender for my AOTY top 10. Complex yet playful and catchy. Don't let the cover and title fool you. This is seriously good. #Primaluce #DarkMirrors

Awesome music and review alert!

One of my favourite guitar players, #StephenPlatt, is helping out #Evergrey during their tour. Great! Problem is: He promised me new Collibus music. Now where does he find the time for that between Devin T, Scar Symmetry, Evergrey and his amazing comic work? Damn

@tiberiusuk.bsky.social setting ProgpowerEuropa on fire today!

Haven't clicked as much with this band since the debut. Strong songs and buttersmooth guitarsolo's and keys. My love for this band is reignited by 'May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way'! #OmniumGatherum

youtu.be/p6rW8Ume0kg?... Amazing, so underrated and the brother of the guy drumming in Coheed And Cambria :)

Thanks to the mailman, coming from Kroese record store in Arnhem: the new beauties, including my current favourite album of 25

Had a great chat with #GautierSerre of #Igorrr for #Aardschok magazine last night. Such a nice guy! With so many interesting thoughts and perspectives on music. Inspiring. Can't wait to share with our readers early September. And that new #Igorrr album is 🤘🏻

@subsequentseer.bsky.social Now firing their stuff at the Alcatraz audience

thanks to Woke now you have to call him ozzy osdied

RIP, Ozzy. Thank you for helping to invent and shape the music that, aside from my children & family, has been the most important thing in my life. It doesn't bear thinking about where I might be right now without your influence looming large in my life within so many bands & their music. #metalsky

A couple of highlights I've been listening to the last few weeks. But there's one that easily takes the crown of AOTM for me.

Ozzy, in the underworld, screaming at the ferryman: Charon! Charon! news.sky.com/story/ozzy-o...

Interesting guest singers for this band: youtu.be/Xyg8vjTL8NM?...

ooohw how tasty this is... highly recommended ! @baestband.bsky.social

Really like this unique metal album without any guitars. So much better than the previous one since Brann is center stage and on fire and taking it to another level.

For the nostalgic bunch out there longing for early 90's progmetal a la Lethal, Psychotic Waltz & Transcendence. If you're not familiar with the latter: this is your chance because Transcendence has released a great new album. A classic, should it have been released back then.

Ooh yes. Bring it on!! This is a modern approach that I really like. Flamenco, Goth, Metal and a good video. Rest of the album sounds great as we'll with other nice Spanish influences as well. Who's with me and who's against me on this? Honesty is appreciated :) youtu.be/VQf25iyopvc?...

This album has grown a lot on me. Very atmospheric, sitting somewhere between (melodic) doom and progrock. It's a (sort of) continuation of the band Ghost Brigade. Singing is in Finish and adds to the overall feel. Not to be slept upon. #CeresianValot

This

To me, this is the best progressive death metal album of the year so far. Absolutely love the artwork, but the content is even better. Prepare yourself for the new Rivers Of Nihil. #metalroundthecorner

Released today and a warm piece of advice for all lovers of great (mostly) instrumental metal with great guitar work:

In the aftermath of 2 consecutive days of the greatest music on the planet. Thx 2 Katha @sym246.bsky.social and her wonderful team. What a blast! So many nice people + old friends & new friends. Here are pictures of some of my highlights @progmetalmania.bsky.social

Wait, what? Just realised that @progmetalmania.bsky.social festival has no Norwegian prog bands in the lineup. None, zero, nil. That's a hard thing to accomplish! Nonetheless ;) I'm very much looking fwd to the event and hope to catch some (a lot!) of you there!

Yes! This is how I like m best: youtu.be/-_5aOlpKFJ4?...

Best 2025 wishes to all fellow metal fans out there with whom I digitally hold hands! 🍾🍾🍾 2 0 2 5 🍾🍾🍾

Listening to this Thrash version of a beautiful Beatles song: youtu.be/q9XNoU3tHqU?...

Year end lists... Yes or No ?

Strong content for my EPOTY: @UniverseEffects #TheDistance Recommended to all prog fans out there.

Interesting and diverse song by #Benthos. Extreme progmetal. Definitely needs a couple more spins, but very intriguing. youtu.be/vtXFiFwSIy0?...

Made this incredible shot with my phone standing on one of my favourite spots in the world: Halin Fell. Longing back to October in The Lakes...
