Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy Thinks Progressive Music Scene is Better Than Ever
When Dream Theater started in 1989, the words "progressive music" conjured up images of bloated 70s rock well past its due date or music that was more about how many notes the musicians could fit in a solo than actual songs. 20 years later, as the band is about to release their 10th album, 'Black Clouds and Silver Linings,' Mike Portnoy says that not only is progressive music entering a

Sunn 0))) Shows All Sides On Monoliths And Dimensions
Ten years into their existence, Sunn 0))) (pronounced 'Sun") continue to confound, blurring the line between distorted post-rock and experimental music. And while their vision remains unchanged, their acceptance over the last decade has afforded the band the time and ability to experiment even more, which is evident on their seventh album, 'Monoliths and Dimensions,' which comes out on May 26
Converge Unveil New Material, Entombed Cover During Club Tour
Converge used their just-wrapped one week club tour to preview some new material from their forthcoming record. Their one-hour set at Europa Night Club in Brooklyn, New York proved that even as they close in on 20 years as a band, they've lost nothing in intensity, tearing through standards like "The Saddest Day" and "Plagues" as if trying to avoid being shown up by openers Gen
