Category: Progressive Rock
Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

Lest – Odysseus (2011)
Track Nummer zwei ist gleichzeitig der Titelsong und erste Auskopplung. “Odysseus” ist sehr ansprechend gestaltet und zeigt deutlich die Einflüsse der Musiker von LEST. Da wird schon mal tief in den Siebzigern gewühlt, als diese Musikrichtung voll auf der Höhe war. Vergleiche mit Jane oderGrobschnitt sind nicht von der Hand zu weisen, und wer die fast elf Minuten durchhält, wird mit einem Ende belohnt, das sehr nach den frühen Jahren von Genesis klingt.

Awake – Forever More (2011)
There’s a melancholy current, even a dark moodiness, running through Awake’s second album Forever More. You can hear it in the inherent heaviness that permeates most every song, and in Simon Shedwell’s vocals. Likely, all this is from the band’s lyrical content which speaks to love and loss. Certainly, a song like Taken is definitive of this theme. The somber beginning of vocals over acoustic guitar leads to an equally deep feeling of melancholy, even as the pace and pitch of the arrangement rises. This musical script is only embellished more by the following Closing the Doors. Here vocals over piano and a bit of synth press the pensiveness even more.
But Forever More is not without some invigorating moments of entertaining progressive metal. Bleed From You, One Wish, and Forever More are as much adventurous even while they harbor an inner and deliberate sadness. Bleed From You is actually quite lively at times, considering what you might infer from the title. It’s a definitive track. The later Forever More develops into quite melodic prog, even catchy at times. These two songs speak to Awake’s strength of conveying both lyric and their feelings through music. At times it reminds of Evergrey composing with Dream Theater after both experiencing a devastating family loss.
Being pensive and somber in tone Forever More may be a challenge to some, no matter how great their love for traditional progressive metal. Nevertheless, the listeners who wade into the deep melancholy of Awake’s opus will be richly rewarded. Recommended.

Jarle H. Olsen – Quadrasonic (2011)
Norway hasn’t really provided that many international shredders, besides Ronnie Le Tekro and a handfull others. Now, young stringsman Jarle H Olsen is here to change that. His first solo albumQuadrasonic is a really impressive affair. It’s actually been some time since I found an instrumental progressive album this interesting. With Jarle it’s not just the shredding that is in focus, it’s just as much about the songs. What I really like is that this actually feels more like a band effort, than a regular guitarist-shredding-his-ass-off album. Sure, there is tons of great soloing, but the songs are structured more like songs with vocals. You have your verses, choruses and bridges, although quite a lot of bridges here. The songs, like Dark Matter for instance, have great build ups, with nice dynamics happening. Here Jarle also shows a softer and more balanced side, without any overpowering distortion. There’s also a great explosive technical part in the end, where things happen all over the place. I also love the fact that he’s using real live, and outstanding, musicians to back him up. They do need to be mentioned, so here it goes: the outstanding technical drummerBjarte K. Helland, Norway’s answer to Mike Portnoy, bass playerRodrigo Garcia who lays down a great foundation, plus proves he’s quite the technical player as well, and finally keyboard player Alex Argento whose playing may not be highly noticeable in some songs (you would definitely notice if it wasn’t there, though), while he really shines in songs like Event Horizon. Quadrasonic is a great album, at times in the same vein as George Bellas, before he started experimenting too much. Great songs, great playing, great production, a sure buy!
