Hello,

My name is Raúl, and my progressive rock project is named "The Winter of Our Years". The first album came out in September 2024, and we are currently working on our second album, and the expected release date is February 2025.

Biography:

I was born and have lived all my life in the island of Puerto Rico. Have been in the music scene since very young, but mostly playing other genres. I studied music on the island and earned a master degree on music education. This first album came about after living hard times these past few years, and putting it up as a musical escape with a hopeful ending. The band "The Winter of Our Years" is formed by myself in most instruments (guitars, bass, keys), Madeline Alicea (Vocals and Violin), Shary Luciano (Cello), Jose Garcia (pianos and keyboards on track 1 and 2), and David Ramirez (Guitars on track 1).

Our first album "In the Edge of Sanity" is available on Spotify and all other streaming platforms

Thank you for your suggestion! Which subgenre of progressive rock do you think your project fits in best?

I think symphonic prog or crossover prog fits best in this band

This suggestion was never picked up by a team when it was posted here back in October last year, and for that I can only apologise. I've given both albums a quick spin just now, and your project belongs on PA without a doubt, so all we've got to do now is determine which sub genre would be most appropriate.

I'm certainly hearing plenty of symphonic touches in both these albums - and particularly in the most recent one - but the overall feel of the music suggests to me that Crossover Prog would perhaps be the more appropriate sub genre of the two you suggested.

Anyhow, I think it would definitely be worth sending the suggestion over to the Symphonic Team in the first instance, since one member of that team is also a member of the Crossover Team, and thus knows both sub genres very well. If the Symphonic Team ultimately decide to pass the evaluation on to Crossover, then it will certainly get a 'yes' in that sub from me.
