Ellesmere – Ellesmere II – From Sea And Beyond (2018)

Progressive Rock Leave a comment


Overall, ELLESMERE II sounds way more energetic and varied compared to the previous work, that was dominated by flute and acoustic guitars. Listening to the whole album, it’s not difficult to find similarities with the great prog acts of the past: Yes immediately does spring to mind, but also King Crimson during the rawest parts (a quote from RED is hidden in the second track), UK challenging jazz prog, the symphonic attitude of ELP, Kansas tension towards melody,

the breathtaking chord changing sequences typical of Magellan and Cairo, the intimate and gloomy mood from early Peter Gabriel productions.

Prog Metal Leave a comment


Very nice demonstration of progressive metal that combines technique and emotion. One feels a lot of maturity and assurance in the compositions and in the play of the musicians. The pieces are dynamic and keep the interest of the listener. Only weak point: the short duration of 34 minutes …

01. Coming Back to Life
02. The Grandeur of It All
03. From the Above and to the Stars

Veer – Apocalyptic, Baby (2018)

Hard Rock Leave a comment


VEER is a Maryland-based hard rock band established in 2016, whose roots are planted firmly in the soil of the mid-Atlantic music scene. Comprised of members from Kelly Bell Band, Nellie Blide, and Public Eye, VEER’s music owes its origin to the post-grunge, alternative hard rock movement of the mid to late ‘90s and early 2000’s. Songs like “Come Clean,” “Power Drive,” and “Douse” have quickly come to signify their brand of original, hard-hitting, rhythm-driven alt-rock, layered with enigmatic lyrics.

01. Power Drive
02. White
03. Come Clean
04. Douse
05. Breathe
06. On Top

08. Make You
