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.

Affector – Harmagedon (2012)

Prog Rock super groups are always something I’m a bit weary of, for one there are far too many of them and usually they are formed to facilitate each individual band members chance to vent their musical prowess.

Royal Hunt – Heart Of The City – Best Of 2012

now..

2012, Fads and fashions may change on a yearly basis but class is timeless. The Danish boys have been delivering their brand of Progressive Power Metal for twenty years and this ´Best Of` compilation takes us on a journey through the 1990’s era of recently restored vocalist D.C. Cooper, an era which arguably saw the band gain their best commercial success and possibly produce their finest work. Remember albums such as CLOWN IN THE MIRROR and MOVING TARGET and not to mention the almighty opus that was PARADOX all represented here. It’s easy to forget how big these guys were in the 90’s especially in Japan and mainland Europe, with album sales in excess of one million units these guys certainly know what they’re doing.
