Day Six
 
This relatively unknown band from Holland have finally finished recording their sophomore release. Woot!
 
The album is due to be mixed at the end of January next year.
 
If its as good as their debut (Eternal Dignity) which just happens to be my top Prog Metal album so far this century then we have a lot to look forward to.
 
Their Promo 2005 is available for free download from their website.

thanks for this Steve...you are doing an absolutely fabulous job in here...Clap
 
I thought 5th Season was a real step up from their previous material... however I hope they aren't releasing this one too soon... only 18 months (ish) after the last one..Ermm
 
they really need another album of strong material to make any headway in climbing out of Prog Metal's 2nd Div, imho...
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Last Warning
 
 
 
After a wait of 8 years LW return with their third album "Throughout Time" in January 2009.
 
From MySpace: THEY REPRESENT THE HYSTORY OF ITALIAN PROGRESSIVE METAL AND WITH THIS NEW ALBUM THEY REACH NEW LEVELS OF EMOTION WITH A MUSIC THAT IS AN INTENSE MIXTURE OF PROGRESSIVE METAL WITH THE PRESENCE OF MAJESTIC SYMPHONIC ELEMENTS, ONIRIC ATMOSPHERES AND LYRICAL MUSIC. IF DREAM THEATER, QUEENSRYCHE, RUSH, CRIMSON GLORY COULD BE POINTS OF REFERENCE OF THEIR SOUND, BE SURE THAT IN THEIR MUSIC YOU WILL FIND MANY MORE FACETS THAT WILL CARRY YOU IN A MAGIC VORTEX OF FEELINGS. RECORDED AT THE WELL-KNOWN ZENITH RECORDING IN LUCCA (LABIRINTH, SKYLARK, SHADOWS OF STEEL). more info @ www. mykingdommusic. net

Aeon Zen
 
Richard Hinks and Lloyd Musto are Aeon Zen, formed in July 2008. They are music students at Goldsmiths College, London.
 
 
 
The following is the latest update on their debut album progress; from what I've heard so far this could well be one of the releases of 2009. The guest appearances alone are making me salivate already! Please visit their website for further information.
 
First off, we are delighted to announce that Nils K. Rue from the band Pagan's Mind will be appearing on 2 tracks on the first Aeon Zen album. This completes the line up for the album, which will be detailed a bit further down!

Secondly, the album is to be called A Mind's Portrait. We also have a tentative release date of 1st May 2009 on Time Divide Records. So keep your eyes and ears peeled and open (respectively of course) for that!

Also if you haven't noticed, the album sample availble to listen to either on our website or our myspace is page is being periodically updated as we gradually have more and more passages of audio excitement that we just have to share with you. So remember to check that periodically if you want to hear more of the album as it progresses.

So yes, back onto album details! We can finally release a definitive (for now at least) track listing for A Mind's Portrait as follows:

1. Existence (featuring Andi Kravljaca (Silent Call) & Matt Shepherd (Timefall))
2. Time Divine (featuring Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind) & Matt Shepherd (Timefall))
3. Blinded Rain (featuring Andi Kravljaca)
4. Hope's Echo Pt. I (featuring Andreas Novak (Mind's Eye)
5. Hope's Echo Pt. II (featuring Andreas Novak)
6. A Mind's Portrait
7. The Circle's End
8. Heavens Falling (featuring Cristian Van Schuerbeck (All Too Human))
9. Into the Infinite (featuring Nils K. Rue)
10. Goddess
11. The Demise of the Fifth Sun (featuring Elyes Bouchoucha (Myrath))

I think that about covers it. We will also be gradually releasing videos documenting the album process some time in the not too distant future so there are still plenty of goodies to look out for.

A Mind's Portrait, to be released on Time Divide Records on 1st May 2009.

Forgotten Suns

have signed to Prog Rock records and will be releasing their debut with the label in the New Year.

See calendar for details.

"This is truly the best progressive piece we did up to date, it will not be easy to overcome tracks like 'News', 'Outside In' or 'Nanoworld' on future albums – all tracks got the hooks for the most demanding progressive rock & metal fans with dense song writing - which is already a Forgotten Suns trademark - intricate polyrhythmic passages, deep lyrics, great singing and roaring solos on all instruments… "

Persona Non Grata

have signed with Sensory and will be releasing their debut in March next year.

See calendar for further details.
 
Persona Non Grata’s formation began in 2003 when John Ioannidis (keyboards) invited Chris Gatsos (guitars) to join his group Fatal Error. It didn’t’ take long for John and Chris to realize that they had to move on to progressive metal music which was a mix of rock that John loved to play and heavy metal that Chris grew up with. In order to achieve this they had to change the band’s line up. During this period they focused on writing the music which would be the material for their first CD “Shade In The Light”.
It was 2 years later when vocalist, Bill Axiotis, joined the PnG group and they started recording this album. They asked session musicians Akis Gavalas (drums) and Chris Vogiatzis (Bass) to help record the album. When the sessions were over they felt a synergy with the three members of the band and came on board permanently, completing the lineup of Persona Non Grata.
