And still the reviews keep rolling in for NZ rockers Sidewinder and their awesome new album Talons, which we had the pleasure of working on earlier this year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Big thanks to Laurent Remazeilles at Desert-Rock.com for taking the time to listen and write about it.

On ne peut pas dire que la scène néo-zélandaise ait été ces dernières années un vivace pourvoyeur de riffs fuzzés... est-ce que ça ne serait pas en train de changer ? Après Earth Tongue il y a quelques semaines, voilà débouler un jeune quintet en provenance de Wellington. Même s'il n'a ...

The brand-new issue of Prog is out now with a killer review of Mirror Queen's latest album Dying Days on Tee P*e Records!

"Heavy riffs dominate as the band channel Hawkwind, Captain Beyond and Motorpsycho into fuzzed-up songs that, in the words of frontman Kenny Kreisor, pack plenty of what they evocatively describe as 'Marshall crunch and metallic sheen'."

So the new issue of Prog is on sale this Friday, November 22 (Dec 20 in the US), so here's the cover reveal...

So we say goodbye to Fish in the new issue of Prog as he heads towards final retirement from the music business (he says he really means it this time!). The big man reflects on a marvellous career and tells us all about his plans for the future in our cover story, and we go full circle back to the beginning, too, with the story of Fish’s 1990 debut solo album, Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors. There's also a fantastic Mark Wilkinson The Art Of Fish calendar!

Elsewhere Tony Levin looks back over his remarkable career in The Prog Interview - did you know he met Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp on the very same day?; Jethro Tull discuss their love of Christmas, Christmas songs, and, of course, The Jethro Tull Christmas Album; Beardfish tell us all about their recent reformation and Vincent Cavanagh explains what happened to Anathema and his new The Radicant project.

And we bring you the very latest from Focus the band, Rosalie Cunningham, PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING, VOLA, Devin Townsend, Geordie Greep, LizZard, Oceans of Slumber, John Holden and we review show by BEAT, Dream Theater, Steve Hackett, Big Big Train and more...

Also in a gift-packed issue there's a great 21-track sampler from those lovely people at GEP Records, too, with a taster from the upcoming new IQ album and loads more for you and an Ultimate Rock'n'Roll Quiz eBook too.

Prog 155, on sale Friday November 22.

Huge thanks to Rt Hon Steve Howe at the mighty Outlaws Of The Sun for his review this week of WARPSTORMER's impending self-titled debut on London Doom Collective.

"WARPSTORMER’s debut album is quite a wild ride and one that only becomes a better album with each subsequent listen. If you miss the early days of High On Fire and Mastodon then WARPSTORMER is here to answer your call."

"Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if Bauhaus and Der Bible cranked the distortion up on their music and roared instead of crooned? If their music had been aggressive rather than seductive? That’s what The Death Of Money sound like." Dark Juan, Ever Metal

Huge thanks to Dave Campbell at Metal Temple for this killer 7/10 review of the new Citizend EP, The Spiral, on Majestic Mountain Records. 🖤

It was hard to gain a full scope of the band of their music through only five songs, but I think I got the general gist of things. There are all of the elements that the band mentioned in their biography, and they are blended well. I also like that…

INTERVIEW /// Manchester/Cardiff-Based Doom Luminaries The Death Of Money Share Influences with Echoes And Dust

Following the release of their latest album Error After Era, Echoes And Dust asked the trio to submit three releases that have influenced them as musicians - https://shorturl.at/tA7Y7 🎧

"We were young and naive and assumed that Taint was this American band or something [...] There was a mystery about this record, the song writing was so pure, fresh, and full of fury. The riffs were intelligent and the sludge more prominent here than any of their later albums, which are also bad ass."

Coinciding with their twentieth anniversary, The Death of Money's most brutal and beguiling record yet, Error After Era, is available to purchase now via Suntreader - https://shorturl.at/KlNHu 📀
