I've been adding in album info but as I went back over my submissions I found at least one thing that needs corrected, however when I try to edit the album info the site won't let me.
Also I'd like to add some video links but when i try I keep getting an error. |

added for heavy prog under the name Zucker, Michael (rather than TMZG) as I think most releases are under your name.
If you could add your discography (only released albums please for now), following the site rules, that would be much appreciated. When one release is not under Michael Zucker but MZ & someone else or TMZG, please add this in a parenthesis by the album title. Hope this is ok, any help we are here to assist Edited by aapatsos - September 04 2013 at 16:38 |

I didn't know how extensive of a bio you'd want, so please feel free to cut this back if it's too long: Michael Zucker is a contemporary rock composer best known for his work with the video game themed band This Place is Haunted. He is primarily a guitarist and singer but has also done a significant amount of work as a producer, keyboardist, bassist and drummer. Michael started his musical carrier by forming the alternative rock group Phyber Glass in the mid 90s. That group played together up until 2001 when it disbanded. Michael next joined the international recording act Suture Seven as lead singer and worked on recordings and performed with that group during the release of their self titled album. Michael next went on to form the video game rock band This Place is Haunted with other founding member Epileptic Peat (You Bred Raptors?). The group still plays select shows most notable MAGFest (Music and Gaming Festival) each year in Alexandria VA. Michael formed the progressive rock band The Art is Fire in 2010 alongside Max BERNSTEIN (Pollock), B.C. MARSHALL (Adrian Belew, King Crimson) and Anthony RODGERS-WRIGHT (Disco Biscuits) During his work with several groups Michael also managed to produce a wealth of his own recordings and performed with his own material with several different iterations of The Michael Zucker Group. In 2011 he started the record label Differential Productions with long time collaborator and drummer Timothy BIELEC. The label is home to the popular progressive NYC trio You Bred Raptors? who have been featured in New York Magazine, Grammy nominated producer DJ Headfridge, and Geoff Barone who's debut LP has been featured in Progressive Magazine.

^ Cheers Thanos!
Btw, I didn't include the Crossover link because Olav tends to add their cleared artists.

Thank you for your interest. That's just some of the cleared artists. You could also keep an eye on suggestion threads and bump any artists you are particularly interested in. As Andy said in the OP, please contact team leaders before writing bios. Same thing if you have a special interest in any genres not represented above i.e. genre teams that don't use progfreak, please get in touch with team leaders/members.

Yes I wrote it, but quite a while ago. It's not exactly up to date but you can use it.
Thanks for asking, and thanks for including me on the site! I have a new album on the way Sept 17th, let me know if you guys need any further information etc. MZ |

I'm guessing this is something I can't write myself, right guys? Sorry I have no idea about the rules on here... someone just brought to my attention that you gents were discussing my music. Let me know if I can help in any way, I'd love to be listed on this site under "Heavy Prog" |

thanks Kei, but an original for PA still needs to be written. I could do it but I was kinda hoping some regular members (or shy collabs) might take the challenge

I can write a Zucker bio if you need one, Andy, though I figured this was an opportunity for other members or Collabs who are not on teams to get involved. As per Lemming's comments about passion, I agree wholeheartedly and have almost no knowledge of Michael Zucker, and therefore not much passion. However, I have listened to a few cuts and was sufficiently impressed to be willing to write him up for PA. Let me know.
Here is a brief bio from ReverbNation.com that will help whoever does write it. It has the important biographical information his website does not ; Michael Zucker is a contemporary rock composer best known for his work with the video game themed band This Place is Haunted. He is primarily a guitarist and singer but has also done a significant amount of work as a keyboardist, bassist and drummer. Michael started his musical carrier by forming the alternative rock group Phyber Glass in the mid 90s. That group played together up until 2001 when it disbanded. Michael next joined the international recording act Suture Seven as lead singer and worked on recordings and performed with that group during the release of their self titled album. Michael went on to form the video game rock band This Place is Haunted with other founding member Epileptic Peat. The group still plays select shows. During his work with several groups Michael also managed to produce a wealth of his own recordings and performed with his own material with several different groups.

Kudos to Andy for his very informative OP re the addition of bands.
As an ex admin I just want to say that after listening to and appraising the merits or otherwise of a nomination for Prog Related, the passion for bio and albums inclusion is in direct inverse relation to the rigor and passion in arguing for the artist's inclusion. e.g I ended up having to write the BIO and add the main albums for Pretty Things myself. I don't want to sound like a whinger but if you are prepared to argue your case, accept the ramifications as outlined in the site guidelines |

What about being hugged with a huge amount of money? Ah, the soft touch of a 50 euros banknote...
Anyway, I just received a message from DamoXt7942 asking if I could/would provide a bio for the Zeuhl band Athanor. Just like I told, I will try to write one in a few days. |
