ProgPower Europe is the musical equivalent of a holiday in the sun. One thing that makes me particularly appreciative – maybe it doesn’t take a lot – is how orderly and organised it all is. I do realise that I’m… Continue Reading →
Syv means seven according to Google. So as appears to be tradition when bands reach their seventh album Mork’s seventh is called seven. But let’s be honest it is something to celebrate. The other thing about the entity that is… Continue Reading →
I think the last album I reviewed which didn’t contain any guitars was Van Canto. But this heavy brass trio consisting of trumpeter Paolo Raineri, trombonist Francesco Bucci and drummer Beppe Mondini are only playing original songs, so there’s no… Continue Reading →

Not to be confused with IHOP but equally something to lovingly gorge on, IMHOTEP is a highly regarded Norwegian webzine focussing on in depth articles about the important artists within the extreme metal scene. It has been inactive for a… Continue Reading →
