Description/Reviews: 

World In Sound´s first release from Turkey delivers pure and timeless oriental heavy psychedelic Prog Rock from Istanbul. Besides the usual instruments, they also use a Cello to create a truly unique and deep atmosphere, where the mystical vibe of “One Thousand and One Nights” meets Pink Floyd and King Crimson. Nine long epics reflect a wide and unpredictable, well-balanced spectrum of arrangements, rhythms, melodies, and climax. With no doubt these lads continue the great 1970s Turkish psychedelic rock tradition of Erkin Koray, Mogollar or Baris Manco. Watch out for this mindblowing space prog trip! This is music for the mind and body at highest level of creativity and proficiency.

Description/Reviews: 

Even with all the sharp guitar lines, the album as a whole felt darker, even sad. From this being the final chapter? Possibly. Alternatively, returning to the guitar lines, Opus is a guitar heavy, guitar centered, album. The riffs and leads essentially constrain and control the arrangements. There are keyboards, but seem merely for embellishment. The next most powerful element is Sigfrido Percich's drums which are brisk and substantial beyond the usual conventions, notable within Northern Lights and Only By Pain. Yet, I still fall back to the previous observation: the strong guitar presence throughout this album. Several final observations, by way of conclusion. One, while there is a progressive element to their music, it's not all that complex. The band leans more towards melody. Two, the album sounds good; the production has created a clean, crisp, sound to the album, lifting players.

Genre(s): Instrumental Progressive Rock, Post Metal
Format: CD, digital
Release date: May 21, 2015
Tracklist: 
1. The Mountain Has Ghosts - 14:09
2. The Feast of the Mountain Ghost - 10:18

4. The Death of The Mountain Ghost - 8:10

Line-up: 
James Bowmaker - Bass
Barry Mitcheson - Drums
Neil Elliott - Hammond Organ, Keys
Jonny Scott - Guitar

Description/Reviews: 

A sprawling 40 minute odyssey that sees Kylver playing an experimental kind of Progressive Rock/Post-Metal style hybrid.
...
Opening track - The Mountain Has Ghosts - is a 14 minute plus epic that sees Kylver embrace the world of Post Metal/Post Rock with hints of Math Rock and Doomy Atmospherics that becomes ever so creepy as time passes by. Imagine if Pelican had taken a more direct Math Rock approach to their music and that's where you end up with Kylver. It's purely an instrumental affair with different noises and sound effects adding extra texture and groove. Kylver even find the time to include 60s/70s style Organs and Keyboard which I didn't expect at all. This song is a creepy and highly atmospheric dense affair as Kylver surrounds your environment with subtle touches of doom and gloom. The remaining 3 songs on the album follow the same hollow path as the opening track with The Mountain Ghost leading you to a Feast, A Dance and its inevitable Death.

Line-up: 
Leonardo Soundweaver

Description/Reviews: 

One listens to 'Silver Moon' as a concept album with beautiful well constructed psychedelic songs blending into each other. Brilliantly expansive psychedelic rock that mixes guitars, keyboards and synthesizers for a very full, surrounding sound. Strong melody lines with a prog-pop flair will hook your interest and trippy, near-metal lead riffs will blow your mind; while otherworldly vocal harmonies float on the electronic paisley-puff clouds in the catacombs of your brain. A calm center of authentic '60s/'70s influence steers the hallucinogenic atmosphere with a steady, strong blast of epic rock'n'roll drug music. This music recalls bands like (early) Pink Floyd, Hawkwind and electronic psychedelic '70s krautrock in general.

Description/Reviews: 

After the debut with the album You Have a Chance (2013, Fading Records), welcomed positively by international and italian critics, Camelias Garden are back with a studio 6-track EP titled Kite.
It has been crafted to be a merge between the rich sound of the first album and the new enriched songwriting elements coming from the substantial line-up change in the band.
Consequently they did a more essential and straight-forward production from different studios in the Eternal City, that brings the band to a more experimental and electric approach.
