For the new album Circling From Above, their 3rd since 2017 and their 18th studio album is a masterclass in songwriting and their timeless ability to fuse prog-rock technicality with sing a long anthems. The 13 songs on Circling From Above were written by Tommy Shaw, Lawarence Gowan and Will Evankovich. Evankovich also produced the album. Leading with Build and Destroy, Styx take a close look at the near future and what is circling above us, from satellites to birds.

Since 2010, when “Il Pittore Volante” was released, Luciano Regoli has been delighting the demanding crowds of Italian and international progressive rock fans with excellent releases under the name Raccomandata con Ricevuta di Ritorno, whose only LP dating back to the 1970s (Per… un mondo di cristallo, 1972) is one of the most beautiful and fascinating in the entire Italian prog scene. The following “Live in Elba” (2015) and “In Rock” (2019) are now finally succeeded by “In Fuga”, proving that Luciano Regoli’s creative vein never expired in recent years; in fact, as per tradition, the cover painting is one of his creations too.

François Thollot is the composer of the band Scherzoo. SCHERZOO is an Avant-Prog / Zeuhl / RIO /canterbury band founded by the composer / multi-instrumentalist François THOLLOT around 2005.

PORTRAITS is a collection of songs Emily and I recorded in the basement of a stone house near Providence, Rhode Island in the summer of 2003, with the help of some friends. Last year I got my hands on the original ADATs and realized I still loved the music but couldn’t stomach most of the lyrics. So, sticking with the original concept of rendering a bunch of bite-sized, slice-of-life portraits, I started over with the words and the whole thing came back to life. With the aid of Victor Reynolds and Kate McLoughlin, I recorded new vocals and instrumental overdubs, creating this hybrid recording which, though not strictly Jack O’ the Clock, seemed to have enough band members contributing to refer to by that name.

Here’s something in 2024 worth celebrating without reservation or caveat or vague dread that it might go away: a new album from Inner Ear Brigade. It’s been a long time since Dromology, but Perkunas is proof that the band not only still exists, but still has all of the qualities that made that album so great.

As a leading force in Japan's progressive rock scene, Evraak continues to push boundaries with their latest album, Requiem for Lost Tide. This work builds upon the dark, dynamic, and dramatic sound of their previous album, EVRAAKI, elevating it to new, transcendent heights.

The genre-defying trio KOMARA returns with KOMARA II, a powerful new release that pushes sound boundaries and challenges musical convention. Featuring King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, avant-garde guitarist David Kollar, and visionary trumpeter Paolo Raineri, the album blends ambient textures, industrial grit, and jazz-infused improvisation into a haunting, cinematic experience.

Halloween, a French progressive rock band that emerged at the dawn of the 1980's, released no less than five albums in fifteen years before taking a break shortly after the start of the new millennium. But in 2020, with the pandemic, another virus - that of progressive rock - took over, and the machine was relaunched, culminating in the year 2025 with the release of “Psy-Ko”, a title the band justifies by saying “because the personas that populate the songs are rather disturbed from a Psy point of view, perhaps as much so as the musicians in the band”.

The 3rd album from ysk, released 1 year and 8 months after the previous album "Solitary Faith". YUSUKE ANDO's expression of "consciousness, light, space-time" is fused with vocalist Yuji Ishii to create a unique progressive rock work that has evolved further. Yuji Ishii's world and YUSUKE ANDO's world overlap, becoming one key and opening up a new world. Guest guitarists include Koji Ikuma [cune/BLUEVINE], Nao Japonicus [Gama], YAGI MASAHIKO, and keyboardist Tatsuhiko Iino, and includes the single "imminent" released last year. This is one of the largest Japanese progressive rock albums in Japan.

Pymlico is an instrumental band from Oslo, Norway, led by composer and drummer Arild Brøter. The band mainly plays what has been described as a mix between progressive rock and fusion. However, their music also offers catchy hooks and singable melodies associated with pop music, alongside grandiose themes more in the vein of movie soundtracks.

Lost Crowns’ first album was named by Stuart Maconie as one of BBC Radio 6 Music’s albums of 2019. This, six years later, is the second, combining the band’s furious lysergic intensity and flamboyant tonality with upturned jigs, shanties and hornpipes.

This wonderful 2024 Symphonic Prog album from KARFAFGEN continues the story of the highly acclaimed 'Messages From Afar: First Contact' album!

Zio Crocifisso is an Italian avant-prog band. The character we portray (taken from Verga's novel "I Malavoglia") represents the expression "there's none so deaf as those who will not hear". We are inspired by bands such as King Crimson, Poil, Melvins, Tool, Zu and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. This album is the result of the merging of three different approaches to music. Rather than finding a common ground, we tried to merge our ideas to find different and hopefully interesting solutions. Hope you enjoy what we did.

La band che ha fatto scuola nel prog rock, stimata nel mondo, torna con un lavoro che è l’ideale completamento di una trilogia dedicata all’esistenza umana. Così come in “Transiberiana” (2019) veniva rappresentata la metafora del viaggio della vita, e in “Orlando: le forme dell’amore” (2022) si celebrava il sentimento umano più potente, in “Storie invisibili” il particolare diventa universale e contemporaneo attraverso il racconto di personaggi comuni che rappresentano tutti noi e costituiscono la storia vera dell’umanità.

OMNI, comes from the Latin word omnis, meaning "all" or "universal." This perfectly reflects the spirit of the record—bringing together incredible guest musicians, blending genres, and creating a limitless musical experience.
