ANATHEMA – One of the most innovative and challenging progressive rock bands of the modern era. Formed in Liverpool in the early 90s, the band released its tenth album Distant Satellites in 2014 – an album that was compared to Radiohead’s Kid A, and described by Allmusic.com as “powerful and compelling.”
HAKEN – Formed in London in 2007 and have since become firmly established as a leading modern progressive rock band. Their most recent album, The Mountain, released in 2013, was compared to Dream Theater and King Crimson – heady praise indeed.
ALCEST – Founded in the year 2000, and with releases such as Le Secret(2005) and Souvenirs d’un autre monde (2007) these guys virtually created the post Black Metal Shoegaze/Black Metal “Blackgaze“ genre. Over the years, Alcest helped make this style surprisingly popular around the world and continue to be its foremost proponents.
KNIFEWORLD – Leftfield psychedelic rock band led by former Cardiacs guitarist Kavius Torabi. Their 2014 album The Unravelling was given a maximum five-star rating in The Guardian, with writer Dom Lawson declaring it: “an ingenious, joyful exercise in exploratory zeal.”
