The Emerald Dawn combine elements from rock, classical music, jazz, folk and world music to produce their own original, distinctive and haunting sound. Originally formed in 2010 in Edinburgh by multi-instrumentalists Tree Stewart and Ally Carter, the band relocated to St Ives in Cornwall, where they were joined by jazz drummer Tom Jackson in 2012. In 2018 the band recruited David Greenaway as their permanent bass player. The quartet focus on producing long-form prog to paint images or tell stories that stimulate the imagination and take the listener on unforgettable musical journeys. To date they’ve released six studio albums. The most recent, In Time and The Land, The Sea, The Air (Volume I), both appeared in the Prog Readers’ Poll Top 10 Albums. The band have twice appeared in the…

“He always told the children that ELP stood for Everybody Loves Potatoes.”Jo Emerson “When I first met him, I had no idea who he was,” says Mari Kawaguchi, Keith Emerson’s life partner from 2006 until his death a decade later. Kawaguchi was working at Yale Medical School in Connecticut when she saw a flyer for the Keith Emerson Band playing at Toad’s Place, “this little tiny venue in New Haven”. Having played classical piano since the age of three, Kawaguchi was intrigued – although when the night came, she nearly stayed home. “I almost didn’t go because it was raining. I just went to the second half,” she recalls. “I went to the venue and it’s all men in baseball hats with beer bellies. I felt bad for the guitar…

Carl Palmer was 17 and playing drums with Fleetwood Mac the first time he met Keith Emerson. It was late 1967 and Mac bassist John McVie had called Palmer to ask if he could sit in for a sick Mick Fleetwood at a gig at Goldsmith’s College in south London. “I said, ‘Yes. Who else is playing?’” says Palmer today. “He said, ‘The Nice.’ I said, ‘I know them. That’d be great.’” Palmer had seen The Nice at The Marquee, where they had a Monday night residency. He was particularly impressed with their keyboard player Keith Emerson, a slight, long-haired 20-something with a showman’s streak and the ability to conjure magic from his Hammond L-100 organ. “To me, he was the best rock’n’roll keyboard player I’ve ever heard. Forget about…

Gong’s Bright Spirit is either their 16th or 25th studio album, depending on how far your Gong antennae reach. But more pertinently, it’s the fifth involving current members, the fourth since Daevid Allen left this planet, and quietly marks the end of the band’s latest trilogy. Bright Spirit feels like a resolution of sorts, or at least an upbeat concluding statement given the challenging circumstances of its recording in March 2025, when frontman Kavus Torabi experienced a breakdown. He wasn’t the only one who was left frazzled from heavy gigging schedules, which included ‘joint’ tours with Ozric Tentacles as well as overseas shows and looming deadlines to compose, refine and record. Bassist Dave Sturt admits, “It feels positive and light, which seems astounding considering that when we were writing and…

Kristoffer Rygg can recite his musical history with surgical precision. “I lived in Portugal for five years of my childhood,” the frontman of Oslo’s avant-garde collective Ulver says matter-of-factly over the phone. “Back then, it was a lot of Earth, Wind & Fire and Boney M and all that stuff on the airwaves… Diana Ross. Then the 80s came and we moved back to Norway. I was just listening to the pop music on the radio, at least when I was in primary school.” After that, he discovered hard rock. Then he fell in love with punk. Then it was metal. He was a genre-hopping kid, he explains in his deep, unwavering voice, and he’s grown into a genre-hopping musician. Since co-founding the band more than 30 years ago, Rygg…

“There’s nearly half an hour of new material on this EP. Putting an hour’s worth of music out in one chunk is hard, so this way we can develop it as we go along and think it all through a bit more.”Simon Rogers Prog fans are traditionally creatures of habit, buying into the familiar cycle of an album release followed by a tour. So, when a band dare to break that pattern, it’s going to be a gamble. For Also Eden, that well-worn album-tour model is no longer sustainable, especially for bands who, like them, operate independently without big-label support. “The cycle of album-tour-album-tour is dying, if not dead already,” says Huw Lloyd-Jones, band co-founder, vocalist and lyricist. “It’s long been dead at our end of the scale. These days,…

The multi-talented Clive Nolan has been a mainstay of British prog since coming to prominence as chief keyboard wizard with Pendragon during the mid-1980s. He’s a man of many hats, composing, writing, producing, and leading projects such as Arena and Shadowland, and working with some of the biggest names on the scene. Appropriately for a wizard, Nolan’s career has seen him journey in many weirdly wonderful directions and he’s performed at legendary venues the world over. His theatre company, Caamora, has even staged a musical in London’s West End, and in 2010 the Bolivian government awarded him the title of Honorary Visitor to Santa Cruz. To celebrate the release of The Mortal Light, the third instalment in Nolan’s epic Alchemy series, the man himself sat down with Prog to discuss…

 Bright Spirit KSCOPE Battling pressure and stress, the long-running collective emerge victorious. Forged amid deadlines, doubt and creative paralysis, and arriving after a period that pushed singer, guitarist and lyricist Kavus Torabi to breaking point, Bright Spirit sounds anything but compromised. Instead, Gong’s fourth release since founder Daevid Allen’s passing finds the band sounding purged and focused, as if adversity has burned away doubt and clarified their intent. “This stands as Gong’s strongest post-Daevid Allen statement.” That inward gaze surfaces on Stars In Heaven, which takes a laid-back but no less third-eye-cleansing approach. ‘All my Earthly sorrows do I leave,’ Torabi sings, sounding both physically and emotionally estranged from the world around him. The track resists easy catharsis, building patiently until it crests in a forceful, emotionally-charged climax that feels…

Thirteen DYAD RECORDS Softs’ very lucky 13th. The Soft Machine reunion continues with grace and pace. Although drummer John Marshall (RIP) and bassist Roy Babbington (retired) are no longer with the group, guitarist John Etheridge and sax/flute/keyboardist Theo Travis command the current ensemble with the dual threat of a full embrace of the outfit’s 60-year history and a resolute eye on the now. The very choice of title, Thirteen, shows that this album is very much a part of Soft Machine’s classic numbered release tradition. “It seems that the band are only just starting after 60 years.” From their very first recordings, there has always been something gloriously unpredictable about the group. Listening to them, especially in their later phases, is akin to watching a psychological chiller. Outwardly, everything seems…

Hatfield And The North MUSEA RECORDS The Rotters’ Club MUSIC ON VINYL A pair of Canterbury classics receive first vinyl reissue with mixed results. It’s easy to understand why these two albums are among the most cherished artefacts of the Canterbury scene. Hatfield And The North’s self-titled 1974 debut is akin to an intricately constructed collage of breakneck juxtapositions, finger-numbing riffs, plangent chorales, wry, self-referential lyrics, faux telephone calls, jaunty themes, comedic reveals, a Robert Wyatt cameo, and the kind of lissome interplay you’d expect from players whose lineage includes Gong, Caravan, Matching Mole, and Egg. “None of this resequencing makes any sense.” The following year’s The Rotters’ Club also contains that inventive mix of throwaway whimsy and surgical precision, highlighting Richard Sinclair, Dave Stewart, Pip Pyle and Phil Miller’s…

Where’s home? Norwich, UK. What’s your earliest memory of prog? When I was 13, a friend’s older brother had a huge collection of progressive rock, psychedelic and folk music. We’d go round after school and listen to Yes, Genesis, Magma, Henry Cow, Lindisfarne and Miles Davis on an old, wood-clad radiogram. The first prog album you bought? Chameleon In The Shadow Of The Night by Peter Hammill, bought from Rumbelows in Wigan with my paper round money in 1973. The shop mostly sold white goods and had a small stock of vinyl. And the most recent? Remnants Of Light from Norway’s Needlepoint is superb. I’m continually astonished as to how many great bands and players there are out there just now. Your first prog gig? Genesis’s Foxtrot tour at the…

After months of online speculation, Jon Anderson And The Band Geeks have confirmed their first-ever tour outside of the US, with seven dates in the UK and two in Sweden announced for September and October. Among them are shows at the London Palladium, Manchester’s Opera House and the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. Billed as Yes Epics, Classics And More, the shows will cover Anderson’s tenure as Yes frontman as well selections from True, his album with The Band Geeks. The domestic dates mark Anderson’s first performance in the UK since playing with The Paul Green Rock Academy in 2023. Speaking of the upcoming tour, Anderson says, “To be back home in the UK performing Yes music with The Band Geeks, who are dedicated Yes fans, is a dream come…

Norwegian prog rockers Green Carnation have announced A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis, the second entry in a trilogy of studio albums. The follow-up to last year’s A Dark Poem, Part I: Shores Of Melancholia is scheduled for release on April 3 via Season Of Mist and sees bassist/lyricist Stein Roger Sordal tackle deeply personal themes. “The title [Latin for ‘blood’] comes from the single, Sanguis (Blood Ties),” he tells Prog. “It’s basically a song about the relationship I had with my father, and there’s dark stuff going on there. We thought that it represented the album very well, because we’re diving into very personal and emotional areas for this one.” …Sanguis was written and recorded concurrently to …Shores Of Melancholia and the as-yet-unnamed Part III, which is due later this…

It’s been a four-year wait for the ninth album from Long Distance Calling, but our patience is so to be rewarded. “During the Covid time, we had three releases in three years, so we just felt that we needed a little time to breathe,” says drummer Janosch Rathmer. “It was very important to have some time for the new songs to develop.” And develop they have. Released as the band celebrate their 20th anniversary, The Phantom Void, out on April 10 via earMUSIC, explores the themes of visions during sleep, casting a powerfully atmospheric spell over the listener. It’s accompanied by a series of music videos that tell an interconnected story. “We talked about what the story could be,” says Rathmer, “and then this idea came up for dreams and nightmares,…

Rightly or wrongly, Keith Emerson’s reputation is tied to excess: the banks of keyboards, the unrestrained theatrics, and the deployment of a 70-piece orchestra on ELP’s financially disastrous 1977 US tour spring to mind, among countless other antics. Yet in his later years, living in California, Emerson revealed a different kind of legacy: one built not on bombast, but on connection. Among the most unexpected was his friendship with Lol Tolhurst, founding drummer of The Cure, a band once positioned as the antithesis of everything ELP represented. For Tolhurst, Emerson was a formative presence long before he became a peer. Aged 15, his first indoor concert was ELP at the Empire Pool, Wembley in 1974. Impressed by Carl Palmer’s rotating stainless steel drum kit, he was also overwhelmed by Emerson’s…

Messrs Lake and Palmer will always be the names most readily associated with Keith Emerson, but later in his career the keyboardist formed other significant musical and personal alliances, which endured for many years. Firstly, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Robert Berry was recruited by Emerson and Carl Palmer to round out their post-ELP band, 3. The trio released their debut (and sole) album, …To The Power Of Three, in 1988 and undertook a short tour. Berry had been working on an album with Emerson called The Rules Have Changed up to the latter’s death, which was released in 2018 under the 3.2 name. “As great as more established guys, like Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess and Geoff Downes, and various new players are, Keith Emerson is still the greatest keyboardist of all time,” says…

‘Chiaroscuro’ means light and shade in the context of classical painting and makes a fitting title for the second album from Halifax post-rockers L.O.E. “It’s been a challenge over the last four years,” says guitarist Josh Gardziel, in something of an understatement. Chiaroscuro was crafted as bassist Ben Walsh underwent treatment for chronic kidney disease, having dialysis three times a week while waiting for a double organ transplant. Despite the adversity facing Walsh and his bandmates – Gardziel, guitarist Dominic Marshall and drummer Ben Hirst – they were determined to complete the follow-up to 2023’s The World And Everything In It. “You want to live life as normally as possible,” says Gardziel. “It’s hanging over you all the time: the phone call for the operation could come tomorrow, could come…

What strange and discomfited beast is it that gnaws and burrows deep within the British psyche to ensure it is damn near impossible for a person, most especially a musician, to accept a compliment? Give praise for doing something that’s admirable or in some way notable, positive or worthy, and more likely than not, the intended recipient will visibly blanche and quickly seek to brush it aside with a sheepish, “Oh, it was nothing, really.” Evidence of this characteristic is on display when Prog catches up with Soft Machine’s Theo Travis to talk about the making of the band’s latest release, Thirteen. When it’s put to Travis that the new album is, in the ears of this writer, the best Soft Machine release since the saxist began his tenure in…

Mark Twain’s advice about finding a job you enjoy doing and not having to work a day in your life may be an old and oftenquoted chestnut, but it certainly applies to Bill Nelson. In the years since the respective successes of Be-Bop Deluxe and Red Noise during the 1970s, the Yorkshire-born-and-based guitarist may have been outside the mainstream spotlight, but his home studio has been a hive of constant activity. It’s where he works on music, writing, painting, drawing, multimedia installations, soundtracks, and wherever else his artistic interests might lead him. When Prog caught up with the polymath, he readily admitted he prefers the studio to the stage as a working environment. “A more apt way to express it would be to say that I’m more of a painter…

“ Believe me, it was a long and ’effin cold winter,” writes Geddy Lee in the liner notes, to this hefty reissue of Rush’s 10th album, alluding to the creative and personal toll that Grace Under Pressure took on the trio. The band had significantly shifted their sound on 1982’s Signals, with its synth-oriented sound and flashes of reggae leaving alienating some longtime fans colder. But issues with the follow-up were closer to home. The musical gulf between a band smitten with new technology and their longtime producer Terry Brown had become too wide, and they reluctantly elected to dispense with the services of the man who’d worked on every Rush album so far. Finding a replacement proved easier said than done. Producer-of-the-moment Steve Lillywhite agreed then changed his mind…

 Riding The Frequency – Live In Poland GEP Veteran British proggers play 2009 album in full in Eastern Europe. While some stubbornly retro-minded fans may still cling to the view that these graduates of the Marquee School Of Neo-Prog’s Class of ’83 never bettered their first two albums Tales From The Lush Attic and The Wake, any keen followers of their output since would insist that this is a highly debatable point of view. In fact IQ have grown into their own sound and songwriting particularly impressively in the 21st century, and built a loyal and still-growing fanbase on the back of it. Ongoing appeal is reflected by the fact that they can draw crowds to hear entire albums in full, and not just ones that were released 40-plus years…

The Gaia II Space Corps DET NORDENFJELDSKE GRAMMOFONSELSKAB Chameleonic Norwegians turn their focus to classic hard rock. Motorpsycho have recently undergone something of a reset, mainly out of necessity. Deemed surplus to requirements after Rune Grammofon scaled back their roster, they set up their own independent label for 2023’s Yay!, only for drummer Tomas Järmyr to depart soon after. Founder members Hans Magnus Ryan and Bent Sæther pressed on as a core duo regardless. Various guests fleshed out 2025’s Motorpsycho, a vast double album that served as a statement of renewed purpose and a celebration of the myriad styles they’d absorbed since they began 30-plus years ago: prog, hard rock, psychedelia, 70s kosmische and beyond. “Firmly rooted in the riffy, guitar-heavy music of the 70s.” At less than half its…

The Clock Ticks On MOSTLY AUTUMN RECORDS Lengthy but rewarding three-disc compilation showcasing the last 15 years. Singer Heather Findlay departed Mostly Autumn in 2010, leaving the band at a crossroads. Thankfully, the solution wasn’t difficult, and they called up the talented Olivia Sparnenn (later Sparnenn-Josh) from the subs bench, having been a backing vocalist with the band for five years. She gave them her vocal range and technical ability, despite lacking some of Findlay’s warmth and all-around musicianship and by this time, they had settled into what seems to be a successful cottage industry releasing, on average, an album every two years. “They’ve never been a band to do things by halves.” This three-disc retrospective of the “Livvy Era” has been lovingly compiled and sequenced by bandleader Bryan Josh.…

VENUE CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER DATE 13/02/2026 Just shy of four years after original vocalist Chloë Alper stepped away from her duties in Pure Reason Revolution due to her commitments with indie heavyweights James, the stars have aligned for a brief return. Alper’s role has been superbly filled by Annicke Shireen, also known as a touring member of Heilung, but tonight is a little different. They’re closing out a two-date, two-set tour celebrating the 20th-anniversary of their debut album, The Dark Third, which unites Alper and Shireen for a special iteration of the band. The album is played in full before the second half dishes out the best of the rest. After a rather hushed entrance and some fiddling about with cables, the band sail straight into Aeropause. Deft slide guitar…

VENUE THE FILLMORE PHILADELPHIA, PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA DATE 07/02/2026 SUPPORT KATATONIA It’s hard to think of a more enticing progressive metal live team-up than Katatonia and Opeth: they’re two of the most distinctive, popular and consistent Swedish genre bands ever. Tonight’s performance – during which Katatonia celebrate last year’s Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State and Opeth honour 2024’s The Last Will And Testament – verifies their enduring chemistry and quality. Each artist offers a wonderfully varied and faithful set of fresher highlights and older classics, entrancing attendees with their characteristic brutality and beauty from beginning to end.  Katatonia kick things off with a roughly one-hour stint that prioritises their latest LP. They begin with opener Thrice, whose juxtaposition of vulnerable singing, moody keyboard backdrops and quasi-djent riffs and…

Opeth’s landmark LP, Blackwater Park will be reissued on March 27 via Music For Nations, celebrating its 25th anniversary and Silver certification. Widely regarded as a career-defining release, the 2001 album helped solidify progressive metal, blending expansive song structures, melodic sophistication and extreme heaviness into one of the most influential records in the band’s catalogue. It also marked the band’s first work with Porcupine Tree linchpin Steven Wilson, who co-produced it with them. The reissue will be available on silver/black vinyl and picture disc featuring the album’s original artwork. Opeth have also announced their only UK show of 2026, which takes place on August 1 at The Piece Hall, Halifax. Support comes from Katatonia and Paradise Lost and tickets for the event are on sale now. The gig forms part of…

Tim Bowness and The Pineapple Thief’s Bruce Soord have announced a short run of joint UK dates, uniting two of modern prog’s most distinctive voices. Bowness will perform a set drawing on his solo catalogue and selections from No-Man, backed by Butterfly Mind – the reunited quartet of Matt Stevens, John Jowitt, Andy Edwards and Rob Groucutt. Soord, meanwhile, is expected to deliver an intimate solo performance centred on his forthcoming Kscope album The shows also form part of Burning Shed’s 25th-anniversary celebrations, with further events and exclusive releases promised throughout the year. Founded in 2001 by Bowness, and musicians Peter Chilvers and Pete Morgan, the label-store hybrid now operates under Bowness and Morgan’s direction. Dates are confirmed for Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room (May 24), Bath Rondo Theatre (May 29)…

It’s finally here! Rush’s Grace Under Pressure is the Canadian band’s latest to get the super-deluxe treatment and we have a copy of the limited-edition CD box set to give away to one lucky reader. In addition to a brand-new remaster of the original album, the four-CD/Blu-ray package contains Terry Brown’s new stereo mix of the album – the first of their releases that he didn’t produce – a selection of new mixes including Dolby Atmos and 5.1 versions, the full live recording of their Maple Leaf Gardens show from September 1984 both on CD and Blu-ray, remastered music videos, new liner notes from Geddy Lee, ephemera including a replica tour book and a light-up display. Not forgetting Hugh Syme’s new artwork on the cover and inside. It’s a top…

For Stewart Young, the flying piano was a step too far. It was early 1974, and ELP’s manager had been contacted by a guy he calls “a bit of a magician”, who claimed he could put together a fantastic new stage prop for Keith Emerson, the band’s resident daredevil. Right now, the two men were standing in a warehouse somewhere in North America, looking at a prototype. “The piano would be attached to a forklift type of thing, which would lift it up and then the piano would spin round and round in mid-air,” says Young now. “I’m going, ‘Oh fuck, let’s forget it.’ But Keith said, ‘No, no, no, what are you talking about? This is great!’” As it turned out, the flying piano was indeed great. It was…

Chatting to Prog from Upstate New York, “not too far from Woodstock”, Pat Metheny is reflecting upon a troubling week. “I’m an American citizen so I’m in a state of disbelief,” he says, alluding to ongoing unrest in the US a week after the fatal shooting of Renée Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. “I mostly live in New York, where, if you get on the subway there’s daily proof the [cosmopolitan nature of this] country works and is a good thing. Sadly, the stupidity of people not voting means that the US has skewed to whatever this is.” The famed, 20-times Grammy Award-winning guitarist has been up since 4am making music. He says he feels very lucky in his vocation “because B-flat will always…

“I used to look down on rock and metal and think that’s just music for the masses. But years later I realised I was talking absolute bollocks.” “ You started all of this, you bastard. You knew what was going to wind me up and you fucking prodded me!” Darran Charles is not happy. With the state of the world; with the position of his band; with people being idiots online. With people in general, if it comes to that. “I would probably describe myself as misanthropically sociable,” he says with a nod. “I don’t like talking really and when I do, I can only have honest and open conversations.” For someone who professes to not like talking very much, the Godsticks frontman can certainly carry a rant. He’s currently…

VOiD KSCOPE Welsh prog metal outliers lose their collective rag. Fury, outrage and despair at the state of the world should be the default position for anyone remotely sensible these days. Even in progressive rock, which tends towards more cerebral and calculated thematic fare, there’s still room for occasional angry outbursts that speak to the truth of our shared, enervating reality. “They are raging against the dying of humanity’s light.” Sadly, since most human beings seem to have lost their ability to discuss anything rationally, there’s a solid chance that Godsticks frontman Darran Charles’s simmering disgust at mankind’s relentless stupidity will only be heard by those who feel the same way. Here lies the very modern paradox that’s at the heart of VOiD: an album that fervently wishes the world’s…

Side-Eye III+ UNIQUITY MUSIC Veteran jazz guitarist’s new ensemble goes maximalist. It’s to Pat Metheny’s credit that, at the age of 71, this modern jazz grandee is putting his time and energy into founding Uniquity Music. His own record label not only provides a home for a voluminous back catalogue that stretches back to his 1986 collaboration with Ornette Coleman, Song X, but also acts as a launchpad for his new music. Metheny’s first release on the label finds him continuing his Side-Eye project, which is designed to work with and showcase new talents. “The quick pace and colouring radiates a sunny positivity.” Along for the ride with Metheny are drummer Joe Dyson, whose restless, whip-cracking work drives much of the album, and keyboardist Chris Fishman, whose background as a…

 Earth Mother Earth/Survival & Other Stories FRONTIERS  Unearthly optimism available via physical and digital realms. Few artists convey innocent, saucer-eyed wonder in their music as purely and consistently as Jon Anderson. Now 81, the angelic-voiced Accrington alto tenor has conveyed this love of life across decades of complex Yes albums and subsequent varied solo work and collaborations. These two reissues are rich with that unique glee, that joyful positivity. They may be a bit too rich with it for some, and those who find Anderson’s work akin to Basil Fotherington-Tomas repeatedly declaring, “Hello trees! Hello sky!” will remain unmoved. Yet factor in Anderson’s recovery from serious illness not long before the second of these albums, and it’d take a proper grump to begrudge him his ecstatic appreciation of the universe,…

ASIA VENUE ROSS CORN EXCHANGE, ROSS-ON-WYE, HEREFORDSHIRE DATE 30/01/2026 Quaint market town Rosson-Wye isn’t known for its rock heritage, but the appearance of Asia, featuring founding member Geoff Downes and guitarist John Mitchell, has drawn fans from across the country on a cold winter night, packing the small soldout Ross Corn Exchange. Asia’s Cutting It Fine perfectly describes this Prog-reviewer’s experience, delayed by immense traffic jams and arriving through the door just as the band launch into a sharp version of their opening blockbuster Time Again (phew!). Asia are playing this ‘warm-up’ near Downes’ home before travelling, appropriately, to Asia itself. Japan was always fertile ground for the group and the nation’s appetite for their accessible blend of prog and rock remains undimmed – this will be their second Japan…
