Category: Progressive Rock

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.

Arjen Lucassen – Lost In The New Real (2012)

The story of “Lost in the New Real” follows Mr. L, a twenty-first century man who was cryopreserved at the moment of clinical death from a terminal disease. The album begins as Mr. L is being revived at a point in the distant future, when technology has advanced enough to cure his disease. Mr L finds himself in a world that has drastically changed — to the point that the line between what’s real and what’s not is no longer clear.

Mr. L’s appointed psychological advisor (played by Rutger Hauer) is tasked with helping him emotionally adapt to this strange new world. The songs on CD1 follow the main character Mr. L’s emotional journey as he is confronted with both serious and comical aspects of the “New Real”, and desperately tries to decide if he can find a meaningful place within it.

CD2 is a mix of songs that are part of the concept but didn’t fit on CD1, and cover songs that are (more or less) related to the concept. As Arjen’s fans have come to expect, informative and humorous ‘behind the scenes’ videos are added to both CDs as CD-rom tracks. This beautiful 2-CD Limited Edition Mediabook is illustrated by the striking artwork of Claudio Bergamin.

Dark Empire – From Refuge To Ruin (2012)

In Quallity!320kbs

I feel genuinely bad for anyone who has to classify Dark Empire under this or that genre. You’d have to cut them into pieces and add one each to the progressive, power, death, and thrash folders. Those are just the influences I myself am picking up on, others may find even more. Whatever it is, it’s great music and as a result of its eclecticism it should appeal to a very wide audience.

Ever since their sophomore effort, Humanity Dethroned, Dark Empire’s lineup has been a bloody mess. The most significant change for many will be the exit of Jens Carlsson (whose future with Savage Circus is also questionable) and the entrance of the unknown Brian Larkin, after Urban Breed briefly flirted with the idea to join the band. Larkin handles himself very well and I can’t honestly say I miss Carlsson despite the man’s obvious talents. The newcomer reminds me of Sons Of Seasons’ Henning Basse, who also possesses the ability to go from deceptively soft to openly aggressive in a matter of syllables. Although I’m quite sure Breed would have fit into this role quite nicely as well.

03. The Crimson Portrait
04. Dark Seeds of Depravity

CHILDREN IN PARADISE – ESYLLT 2012

French band Children in Paradise creates a fusion of prog rock/Celtic folk music that I wasn’t even aware I was missing.  Their debut albumEsyllt (Isolde) is a richly layered composition.  The lyrics are poignant & tell a human story while the music is filled with beautiful progressions.  No cookie-cutter music here.

Kathy Millot aka “Dam Kat” has a voice like dark honey.  Think Tori Amos, Enya, and Ani DiFranco with a side of Amy Lee & Pink.  On Little Butterfly her voice creates such an aching atmosphere you can almost feel your heart break.  The guitar progressions are electric blues–dirty, pining notes that strip my soul.

Gwalc’hmei‘s guitar flies through the melancholy of King Arthur’s Death.  Vocals that speak of longing & promise balance the atmospheric prog.

I get comfortable with the music & mood when the delightful surprise of Loic Bléjean‘s uilleann pipes lilt into My Son.  Countering this traditional Irish instrument is Gwalc’hmei’s blistering guitar riffs.  This is honest-to-God rock n roll.  Eddie Van Halen on his best day would find this challenging.

The Battle is a good piece but it rockets to the stratosphere of epic at 4:18- Guitar & uilleann pipes intertwine into an animal like no other.  My jaw is on the floor…this ain’t your grand-pappy’s Celtic folk music.

Overall this is a remarkable debut album.  The entire album is filled with soul–living, breathing music that will reach your innermost being.  There are moments of pure prog bliss in these songs.  I do find that the songs become just a mite formulaic by the end of the album.  I know that about halfway through any particular song I’m going to find the heavy electric guitar solos.  While this isn’t a bad thing I think that mixing up the song structure would have elevated this album to instant classic status.  I recommend you grab this record; put it on & fall into the ancient Celtic world with a prog rock twist.
