Progressive Savage

The Never Ending Illusion is an Italian prog-metal band’s Daedalus second studio album. The band was formed in April 2000 in Genoa and released their first–though I haven’t got the chance to hear it–studio album Leading Far from a Mistake in 2003. Judging from the songs credits, at least for this album, the band’s mastermind is their bassists :) Fabio Grem. To tell you the truth, I didn’t like this CD at first and it took me some time to begin to like this recording. Sadly, this happens more often lately.

Well, according to InsideOut prog super-band Transatlantic begun work on their new, third, studio album. If all is good the album should see the daylight before the year ends. Say what you want, but I do like Transatlantic and I’m waiting impatiently for their new release.

Well, well, well. Now would you now, Progressive Nation 2009 Europe features far better bands than the North American one. These are:

• Dream Theater
• Opeth
• Bigelf
• Unexpect

I’ve already mentioned Unexpect here and I’m really looking forward to seeing them live. Dream Theater and Opeth are the kind of bands that need no further introduction. As for the Bigelf, I’ve heard their recording some time ago and I think it’ll be interesting to see them perform live as well.

Man, I haven’t been so much excited about a gig for years. Łuczniczka Hall in Bydgoszcz, Poland is where I’ll be on September 30th.

This is rather old news (a week old news are old these days), but Riverside had posted an interesting piece of information on a website dedicated to their upcoming album. It seems there is a chance they’ll finally release an album I’m going to like. Read on.
