Following the newly-released, rocking “The Underwhelming” and early spring singalong “Apocalyptical,” Puscifer are back.

Dick Merkin) and “special agents-in-charge” Mat Mitchell (guitar, bass, keys) and Carina Round (vocals, keys) will release Existential Reckoning, a 12-song album scheduled for an October 30th arrival via Alchemy Recordings/Puscifer Entertainment/BMG.

The Royal Affair Tour: Live From Las Vegas is an upcoming live album by progressive rock band Yes, set for release on 30 October 2020 by BMG Records. It documents the group's performance on 26 July 2019 at The Joint in Las Vegas, Nevada, during their Royal Affair Tour.

The group's first album for Polydor is several steps above their EMI work. Most of the psychedelic-era influences are softened here and broadened, and transmuted into something heavier and more serious, even as the Beatlesque harmonies remain intact…

Following the example of some of their fellow-countrymen of the late Seventies (Nightwinds, Infinity…), Netherworld could create a kind of music with a high quality, inspired by the best bands in this style (Genesis and ELP for example), with a particular virtuosity and energy. A little like Twelfth Night, this band combines vocal theatrical intonation, guitar arpeggios, energetic and emphatic keyboards, with multiple breaks and high-velocity solos. All of this is included in a very well composed and structured music.

Of the legendary bands Great Britain birthed during the 1960s, none sound remotely like Procol Harum. From their emergence with the single version of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" months before the world heard the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, they were prog before prog, psychedelic before the world knew what it was, and a rocking R&B outfit…

Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman will release his new solo album, Tokyo Jukebox 3", in Japan on October 21. According to Billboard, the LP features Marty's cover versions of a wide variety of pop songs, including such contemporary numbers as LiSA's "Gurenge" and OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM's "Shukumei", along with DA PUMP's dance track "U.S.A.", END OF THE WORLD's ballad "Sazanka", and the vocaloid hit "Senbonzakura Feat. Hatsune Miku". Some throwback J-pop hits from the '90s are included on the set as well, such as ZARD's "Makenaide" and EVERY LITTLE THING's "Time Goes By".

Swiss outfit Cosmos can trace it's roots back to 1990, when Reto Iseli (drums, vocals) formed his first band, at that time called Glacier Eagles. Late in 1993 they decided that Cosmos was a better sounding and describing name for their Pink Floyd influenced musical ventures, and the following year saw them release their debut album The Deciding Moments of Your Life. The album was met with a fairly good reception; and for the next few years Cosmos enjoyed a fair degree of success in their native country with live shows combining their own original material with Pink Floyd covers.

Those who believe that Sartez, who was the singer for Siena Root for a certain amount of time, vanished into thin air will be set right, because 'Life's Road' is the debut album of his new band Three Seasons. Just like Siena Root, Three Seasons have settled comfortably in the very early 1970's. Three Seasons is a mash-up of our thoughts, minds and bodies, together forming sounds possibly reminding of bands and musicians such as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Free, Gov’t Mule, Mountain and Santana.

Cut live at the Reichstag in the German city, Berlin is very different from The Live Tapes, with a rather leaner, harder-rocking sound, and more of a dance-rock feel as well, and is also miked much closer for a more intimate sound…

Ray was a founder member of The Moody Blues, a band whose legacy and classic albums need no introduction. He was a musical pioneer, introducing the flute into the context of a rock band before such luminaries as Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Ray’s contribution to the Moody Blues was immense, and when the band went on a hiatus in the mid-70s, Ray recorded two solo albums for the band’s Threshold label: “From Mighty Oaks” and “Hopes, Wishes and Dreams”.

Dave Newhouse of The Muffins has returned with his 3rd Manna/Mirage album, "Face". Helped along by the playing of some wonderful collaborators, this recording band has produced another solid addition to the AmeriCanterbury genre. The cover is from an original panting titled “Face” by the late great Italian painter, Serge Serghejev.

The Aerosol Grey Machine is the debut studio album by English progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator. It was released in 1969 by record label Mercury. The album was originally intended as a solo album by the band's lead singer and main songwriter, Peter Hammill. When the band signed with Charisma Records, a deal was worked out whereby The Aerosol Grey Machine would be released under the Van der Graaf Generator name, in return for Mercury Records releasing Hammill from his earlier contract with it. The initial edition contained the song "Giant Squid", later pressings removed this track and replaced it with the single b-side "Necromancer". The album was reissued on CD in 1997 by the German company Repertoire Records, using the second-edition running order of the album and featuring the first single as bonus tracks.

Apocalypse has been the first Brazilian band signed by Musea for a new record. Released at the end of the Eighties, "Lendas Encantadas" (1989) revealed an exceptional band playing Progressive rock music full of energy, obviously inspired by Marillion. The second album "Perto Do Amanhecer" (1995) proves to be in the same vein, but even better! These twelve concise pieces mix peaceful acoustic moments with more agressive and nearly hard-rock passages. And the Portuguese singing gives the music an exotic and very nice touch. Discover the warmth of this sunny music, when admiring the superb pictures included in the booklet.

Created in Besançon, Wurtemberg was an original Progressive rock band very much influenced by classical and Middle-Ages music. Led by Alain Carbonare, musician and internationally famous instrument maker, they were the autors of a unique and quite sought after album in 1980. "Rock Fantasia Opus 9" would unfortunately remain a one-time experience only. However, a second version of the band appeared in the mis-Eighties. The original tapes of "Rock fantasia Opus 10" were recorded between 1984 & 1985 in Vesoul, and they were meant to become a second album that was never released. Those are the same tracks that we suggest you discover today, with two added bonus.
