Description/Reviews:

"Quadragenta at Finem Mundi" unfolds as a seven-act instrumental journey through the collapse and rebirth of civilization. It opens with “Tripel Ultimatum,” a high-adrenaline, riff-heavy track that introduces three survivors of a nuclear disaster. “Vorágine” follows with a whirlwind of acoustic chaos, mirroring the consumerist frenzy and environmental decay of modern society. “Animal Inteligenz” offers a satirical take on artificial intelligence as a new deity, exploring the decline of human intellect and the rise of evolved animals and machines. The fourth act, “Inspireichon Burn,” channels death-metal fury to depict the devastation of thermonuclear war and the greed of war profiteers, born from a spontaneous burst of inspiration. “Vairal Madnez,” the most collaborative track, critiques digital obsession, fake news, and biological warfare, and stands out as a favorite to perform. “Aztral Configureited” shifts the tone to cosmic reflection, imagining planetary alignment as life on Earth fades and a new cycle begins. The album closes with “Ameba Emenens,” a fully acoustic and introspective finale, where a lone ameba survives the apocalypse to restart life, offering a hopeful end to a dark and prophetic musical odyssey.

Description/Reviews:

Blending rich musical textures with evocative and lyrical storytelling, The Ballad of General Jupiter is a collection of sonic tales — snapshots of imagination, emotion, and resilience. With echoes of Bowie, Pink Floyd, and early Genesis, Roolaart paints vivid musical portraits shaped by imagination, introspection, and social consciousness as he explores not only personal themes, but also broader reflections on a world grappling with chaos, greed, and injustice.

The opening track, Amsterdam, sets the tone with an intimate reflection on Roolaart’s 2020 return to his homeland in the Netherlands—an emotional homecoming shaped by both fulfillment and loss. Expanding beyond earthbound concerns, tracks like Rain and The Cry of Seven Doves explore more otherworldly themes, enriched by the saxophone and flute contributions of Amsterdam-based musician Wouter Schueler.

Description/Reviews:

Musically, 'Lighter Than Air' marks a clear step forward. Whereas the debut leaned heavily on the legacy of '70s progressive rock—with influences from legends like Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson—the follow-up has a more modern and contemporary sound, reminiscent of Marillion’s Clutching at Straws era. Still, the roots in prog tradition remain evident: epic compositions, adventurous rhythms, and virtuosic instrumental passages continue to define the band’s sound.

In addition to the familiar rock instrumentation, The One incorporates analogue synthesizers, lap steel guitar, double bass, and flute. These elements add depth and an unexpected richness to the music. With 'Lighter Than Air', The One presents itself as a mature band with a strong and distinctive identity.

Alojz Hajovsky - electric guitar, classical guitar, fretless bass, synths

Jozef Ragan - drums

Composed, produced & mixed: Alojz Hajovsky

Stem mastering: Michal Spitalsky

Description/Reviews:

In the case of the album anTristis, it is a multi-genre guitar album, which proves that diversely composed and arranged music does not know the limitations of genres and can sound attractive. 

The entire album is specified by clear melodies, refined harmonies, alternating between rhythmic and irregular passages, changes in mood, instrumental maturity and innovative approaches.

3 songs on the album are heavier (the opening oriDjental, the following anTristis and the fourth haruWomatsu:Aki), they could be described as prog rock/metal, 2 songs are fusion jazz (haruWomatsu:Fuyu and wArpeggio). The album includes 1 dramatic symphony in unusual measures (cavalliInFuga), a dark prelude on classical guitar (forLeikur) or a song in the spirit of stage music with a Nordic mood (andStæður) or one song played entirely with tapping technique (equusQuagga), or one almost "pulpfictionish" (kotoMeetsPetra). 3 songs have an Asian ethno touch and diversify the modern sound of the album.

Description/Reviews:

The Cosmic Factory are an eclectic rock band from Providence, Rhode Island. They pull from a very wide range of influences and blend it all together to create their brand of psychedelic rock and roll. 

“Lab Grown” features the band's grooviest, heaviest and most psychedelic material yet, touching on everything from stoner metal to funk to electronica to lullabies. Among the new material is “On My Ohm”, the Cosmic Factory's most ambitious song yet, clocking in at just over 20 minutes.
