Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

Slavery – Dawn Of Mankind

SLAVERY come from the Danube town of Ulm and put us via Sonic Attack before their debut album, even though it was already a self-published before Scheib Lette. Those from the south who are dedicated to power metal, but to bring a touch of originality, so the songs are much more complex and varied than one might commonly feared.
Here on the plus side are the stirring guitar work of the two six-string Dirk Netter and Philip Schlothauer that can compete with almost anyone, and the fact that the band have taken with ‘The Gunslinger’ one of the greatest epics of fantasy literature as a template. Outweighed negative, this is unfortunately sometimes the intricate and little-follow song structures whose Breaks sit unfortunately seldom really adequate, such as in said ‘Gunslinger’ or in ‘Morning Glory’, with its ups and downs from Happy metal and thrash.

The Gathering – Disclosure (2012)

Disclosure is The Gathering’s most personal soundscape they’ve ever made. A great marriage between electronic and organic sounds and colourfull and diverse songs. It’s simply impossible to describe this new album in a few words. Keyboard player Frank says: “It’s for sure our most personal album we ever made, lyrically but also musically”.
“We tried a lot of new things, like harmony singing” he says. “ We stayed close to ourselves, working on long epic songs, which we love to work on knowing it is one of our strongest points. We took all the time to cristalize all ideas, not forgetting to experiment. We are incredibly proud of this album!”.
