Holon for heavy prog

I'm a bit surprised this band is not on here already. Based on the little I have heard I think heavy prog or maybe crossover prog would fit them best.

From the Kinesis website(which includes some links to videos): 
The Time Is Always Now (2016, digisleeve) is the debut album from Holon, the project of Norwegian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Ronny Pedersen. It’s a new release for Rhys Marsh’s Autumnsongs Records and fits right in with the slightly psychedelic Scandinavian prog and post-prog style of the label. The album was recorded at Autumnsongs Recording Studio in Trondheim and produced and mixed by Marsh. Contributing musicians include Lars Fredrik Frøislie (Wobbler, White Willow) on Hammond organ, Silje Leirvik on vocals, Ketil Vestrum Einarsen (Kaukasus, Jaga Jazzist) on flute, and Geir Anfinn Halland Johansen (Anfinnsaas) on drums, as well as Marsh (vocals, pedal steel, bass, various keyboards including Mellotron). Ronny sings and plays guitar, bass, and sitar. The Time Is Always Now is a collection of songs Pedersen had been writing over the past ten years. He met Rhys Marsh through a common friend, played him some of these songs, and Rhys offered to produce Holon. Watch the videos for A Drop of Me and Two Grains of Sand. To preview the entire album, see the Pop Matters album premiere.

	The more I listen to the sound clips the more I realize they are more of a crossover prog band than heavy prog imo. I admit I posted the title a bit hastily. My apologies.

	Possibly the fastest response in the history of PA, holon added here. They were suggested to Crossover recently, and cleared yesterday - Ronny sent me some stuff to use, and they're up! I love it when a plan comes together....

	Great to see you back Kev!...and to see that the Crossover team is now functioning as it should do, and firing on all six (or should I say all three!) I'll pm you with details of the five remaining missed suggestions for the sub right now....
