Yang - Collission Course

From the album Designed For Disaster, out on Cuneiform Records Country: France Genre-approximation: progressive neo-fusion From the notes: "With Designed for Disaster, his compositions primarily have their genesis in Baroque music, minimalism, and of course the progressive rock he gravitated towards as a teenager, with King Crimson’s Robert Fripp as his acknowledged influence, but there are passages on Designed For Disaster that sound very much like what Steve Reich might have arrived at had he been writing for two guitars, electric bass, and drums rather than for percussion ensemble."

From the album Legacy Of Ruin, out on Prophecy Productions Country: USA Genre-approximation: progressive post metal From the notes: ""Legacy of Ruin" is forceful confirmation that contemporary metal can be artistically impressive, and at the same time novel and expansive in its expression.

Antoine Trauma - S.01

From the EP 4625 USB1, out on The Church Of Noisy Goat Country: Brazil Genre-approximation: experimental noise From the notes: "Who doesn't know or remember the sinister Russian radio station UVB-76 that went viral on the Internet a few years ago and served as content for bloggers and youtubers to surf conspiracy theories and weird conjectures about the Cold War? The artist brings this subject to light by offering us from now on this wonderful album, totally based on samples from the damn station, which were sequenced and reordered by him in the form of three tracks of purely industrial and cosmic music."

Torgeir Waldemar - Dover

From the single Dover, out on Jansen Records Country: Norway Genre-approximation: dark singer-songwriter From the notes: "Norway's man in black Torgeir Waldemar readies the follow up to the successful studio album "Love". Where "Love" was a loud band record, "Mercy" is the acoustic "sister record". The two albums are tied together and their titles combined, love and mercy, references the Brian Wilson song. Put together they are Waldemar's comment on the world today." Links: Bandcamp - Facebook - Twitter - Instagram Jansen Records

From the upcoming album The Great Anguish Of Rapture, out on Friday April 15th, 2022 Country: Netherlands Genre-approximation: atmospheric blackened doom metal From the notes: "A growing Void… / Over the last decade, few entities have subjected the feeble human to such a plethora of dreadful expressions turned into audial flesh like Faceless Entity. Almost five years after 'In Via Ad Nusquam', the journey towards nothingness whispers a new conjuration, a cold catacomb of Death and misery over five brooding tomes." Links: Bandcamp

Eric Chenaux - Hello, How? And Hey

From the album Say Laura, out on Constellation Records Country: France Genre-approximation: progressive jazz pop From the notes: "Say Laura perfectly incarnates the counter-intuitive interplay of instrument and voice that Chenaux has been revealing and revelling in throughout the past decade: his gently unhinged juxtaposition of resplendently smooth, seductively assured singing and puckish, frazzled, thoroughly destabilized guitar could come from no other musician."
