Producer: Forrester Savell

Description/Reviews:

With layered compositions that range from tranquil oases to swirling riffs Inhalo is as diverse as an alternative progressive rock band can be. A seamless blend of serene and ferocious elegantly held together by an emotional performance. Tension and release, like a ballet dancer gracefully tiptoeing on a volcanic caldera.

Inhalo is no newcomer. All of the band members have earned their stripes over the years playing tours all over the continent in bands such as A Liquid Landscape, Ivy’s Dream and The Heaven’s Devils, supporting bands like Karnivool, Riverside and Marillion. After years of working on their music with scene icons like Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), the four Dutchmen have now teamed up with Construction Records for the release of their debut album.

‘Sever’ is a passionate musical journey about dealing with anxiety and the process of growth within its confines. A journey in which beauty can lull you into a false sense of security before it pulls the rug from under your feet and sends you hurtling down its fiery pits.

Description/Reviews:

Compared to Part 1, the second part has more sound design, more production and sounds more full. The ambient aura is reminiscent of epic futuristic battles, with many layers that will tantalize a wide variety of fans. Gerald, who enjoys improvising on the piano, writes all the music and then passes it to Aaron Thier who adds his own style to the drum parts. A cinematic jaunt, full of complexity and energy awaits those curious enough to dive into this fantastic release.

Luke Machin (Maschine, Francis Dunnery Band) – Guitar, Vocals

Steve Roberts (Magenta, Godsticks) – Drums

Description/Reviews:

This album sees The Tangent focusing almost entirely on their long format songs or "epics" with only one song being less than 16 minutes long. A very mature sounding record, the band have audibly focused on the compositional structure of this album which in the case of the three long pieces is also highly complex and "thought out". From a luscious and uplifting song about loneliness in Covid lockdown, to a full on 17-minute long jazz/prog/canterbury fusion instrumental, to a darkly electronic story of a homeless woman with shades of Nine Inch Nails, Po90, Japan and Van Der Graaf lurking within. The album's final track is the 4 minute bouncy Motown-style track "Wasted Soul", where the band anticipate a wonderful day in the future when the pandemic is over forever.

Description/Reviews:

Soul Leakage was born in 2020 from the strings and the keays of Francesco Lenzi and Davide Lucioli with the aim to communicate spontaneous music that could reflect an intimate and visceral dimension, between psychedelia, rock and soundscape. From this idea the band builds a spacious and thoughtful music architecture: celestial bodies, tantric visions and fractal inspired us during the journey.
