The Void 2016

Paradigm Shift are a London-based progressive rock band whose music brings together the technical complexities of 70's progressive rock, the adrenaline rush of heavy metal and the immediacy of electronica. Though influenced by bands such as DREAM THEATER, RUSH and OPETH, they are a theatrical and technical addition to a distinctively British lineage of progressive bands, and have been compared with the likes of PORCUPINE TREE, BIG BIG TRAIN and LIFESIGNS. The band was formed in 2007 by friends Reuben KRENDEL (guitars) and Ben REVENS (keys and lead vocals) with the intent of creating diverse music with a political message…

The Sea Within - the new art-rock collective comprising of Roine Stolt (Transatlantic, The Flower Kings), Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation), Jonas Reingold (Steve Hackett, The Flower Kings, Karmakanic, The Tangent), Tom Brislin (Yes Symphonic, Renaissance, Spiraling, Deborah Harry) & Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Steven Wilson, UK, Joe Satriani) - have announced that their debut self-titled album will be released 22nd June 2018.
Roine Stolt comments on how the project came together: “I think all it started as a suggestion from the record company - putting together a new band, starting fresh, seeing if collective writing could spawn a unique style. Call it a supergroup if you want - I think we can handle that”…

Lapis Lapis Lazuli formed out of the incestuous Canterbury scene in 2008 and craft their sound at their spiritual home, The Bungalow - a place where musos regularly gather for jam parties and improvise long into the night.
Their two debut albums ‘Reality Is’ and ‘Extended Play’ were recorded in 2012 by the band themselves - both jam packed with 10 and 20 minute tracks totalling over 2 hours.
With influences ranging from Progressive Rock, Math Rock, Funk, Jazz, Balkan, Psychedelia and Alien Visitation their 3rd project ‘Alien/Abra Cadaver’ is a tour-de force of the band’s past and future musical paradigms crystallized into orchestral proportions that takes them a step forward into new unchartered lands…

Soundgarden’s third album found them making a bid for the mainstream. Though often lumped in with other Seattle bands that broke during the early '90s, Soundgarden was always unabashedly classic rock—less a departure from The Doors and Led Zeppelin than a post-punky extension of them, carried in part by the wail of singer Chris Cornell. Poised between the heavy-metal leanings of their earlier albums and their dark commercial peak (1994’s Superunknown), Badmotorfinger found the band sharpening their songs and clarifying their sound, turning piles of sludge and grit into viable radio hits (like “Outshined” and “Rusty Cage”). Here, a remastered edition of the album joins a spate of demos and outtakes, as well as a blistering 1992 live set previously released only on VHS.
