So far my AOTY.

Get it while it's hot!

I actively seek out a lot of new prog releases and I have to say for 2015 so far a clear stand out for me has been Eidos from the Italian band Kingcrow. Also most tracks on the album are decent not just one or two - check them out!


Other notables not mentioned in earlier posts:
Izz - Everlasting Instant
Arcane - Known/Learned
Nordic Giants - A séance of dark delusions
Tony Patterson - Northlands
Eric Baule - Revelations Adrift
Not a good sign - From a distance
Progression by Failure - Sonic Travelogue
Sylvan - Home

Last but not least, Beardfish +4626-COMFORTZONE

Although not quite 2015 I do want to call out an album from late last year - Soen Tellurian, my favourite album in the last 12 months, definitely going to be a metal classic.

What did you think of it? I think I've spun it twice a day the last 48 hours. It's a keeper!

Had my second listen to Elephant9's new one today. Their best album to date, IMO. They've really taken it up a notch with this one! Along with Jaga Jazzist and Motorpsycho/Storløkken, one of the standout releases of '15 for me so far.

According to the venue where they will hold their release concert on Thursday they were going to release two new albums "soon", but it's been quiet about the second one since the release of Silver Mountain. Hope that second one still comes to fruition. Anyway, with Motorpscycho's upcoming studio album, as well as new albums from Panzerpappa, Møster!, Jono El Grande and Shining soon to be released, this is shaping up to be a great year for Norwegian prog!
