Tracklist:Side A: Forbidden Sanctuary / DespoiledSide B: Is It Your God / Melt The CrownSide C: Cloak Of The Vast And Black / Celestial Tyrant / Beyond Our MindsSide D: The Torch / Candescence / In The Absence Of Wisdom After winning a JUNO Award in 2016, ANCIIENTS were officially anointed as the guiding lights for progressive metal. However, keeping their momentum rocking and rolling proved to be no easy feat. For too long, metalheads feared these mighty Canadians had gone dormant. The road was threatened by many shadowy twists and turns, but after eight years of hermetic silence, ANCIIENTS have returned with a new line-up and a new album that now stands as their heaviest, headiest and most heartfelt offering.Fans who’ve waited on bended knee for more fretboard heroics will not be disappointed by ‘Beyond the Reach of the Sun’. Lead single “Melt the Crown” fires off not one, not two, but three guitar solos. Each one comes with its own unique flavor, too, spanning from plaintive folk to southern blues and psychedelic prog.Of course, ANCIIENTS aren’t afraid to headbang. After a spell of acoustic fingerpicking, “Cloak of the Vast and Black” reveals itself as a chugging riff monster. Conceptually, the album is just as heavy. It tells the story of a society that’s enslaved by forces from another dimension. But at its core, ‘Beyond the Reach of the Sun’ is about perseverance. Just as the enslaved discover spiritual knowledge by way of a cosmic entity, writing these songs also lead the band to uncover new wellsprings of inspiration. “Is It Your God” concludes with an epiphany of synths that dazzle like a laser light show. “Searching for a better way”, sings Kenny Cook on the epic closer “In The Absence of Wisdom”. His voice booms with reverb, but its radiance comes from a fresh stroke of insight.On ‘Beyond the Reach of the Sun’, ANCIIENTS climb to the summit of progressive metal. For fans of OPETH, MASTODON, THE OCEAN.

TEMIC are just one album in, but to reach this point, this supergroup had to navigate quite the career maze. These guys have played with Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse, Shining, and Maraton. But it wasn’t until the world shut down in 2020, that keyboardist Diego Tejedia and guitarist Eric Gillette got around to starting a band together. Their idea wasn’t exactly simple: orchestrate their love for high-energy electronica and killer melodies into a modern prog-metal band. But by recruiting vocalist Fredrik Bergersen Klemp and Simen Sandnes on drums, TEMIC managed to pull that concept off. ‘Terror Management Theory’ is layered with twists and turns. “Count Your Losses” crushes out tech riffs by the ton, while “Falling Away” drifts down a blackhole of starry-eyed synths. At the end of this labyrinthine album lies “Mothalah”, a 7-minute epic that never stops reaching for the sky, led by heroic falsetto.The debut of a melodic prog-metal supergroup that invites you to get lost among its many twists and turns.For fans of DREAM THEATER, HAKEN, LEPROUS, DEVIN TOWNSEND, TESSERACT, PERIPHERY.Artwork by Hicham Hamzi / H-Hich DesignTracklist:Side A: TMT / Through the Sands of Time / Falling Away / Count Your LossesSide B: Skeletons / Acts of Violence / Friendly FireSide C: Paradigm / Once More / Mothallah

Numen is ALKALOID’s third album and it’s got some of the band’s most intricate, thought-provoking and batshit insane ideas yet. The album is narrated from the god-like perspective of an ancient alien, who can reshape the entire galaxy with its demonic grunts.ALKALOID are still bonded together by their love of death metal. After all, this is a supergroup assembled by founding members of OBSCURA, DARK FORTRESS and SPAWN OF POSESSION, but ‘Numen’ finds the Bavarian band playing around with all kinds of genre experiments with, for example, “The Cambrian Explosion” flips tech-death on its horned head with seductive flurries of jazz and flamenco.ALKALOID are metal’s mad scientists. With ‘Numen’, they’ve concocted another wildly explosive batch of progressive death metal.For fans of BEYOND CREATION, OBSCURA, NECROPHAGIST, CYNIC.Artwork by Christian Martin Weiss.Tracklist:CD1:01.
