Got really into Dream Theater again in the last week….hoping to grab tickets to their concert in Baltimore in early September! The new album Parasomnia is fantastic, these guys are as good now as they’ve ever been! #ProgRock #ProgMetal

It's been a while since I listened to Lords of Black. I love the blend of power and prog metal.

In a reign of madness
Lead us to the sadness
Of a World gone mad
World Gone Mad!
In the heart of darkness
When they cry for justice
But they find their crimes
All their Crimes!

Bon dimanche 🍀

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard just pulled their entire catalog from Spotify — and it got me thinking about their legacy so far. I put together a quick video ranking their Top 5 albums — would love to hear your favorites and how you feel about the Spotify news.

Self-Titled Summer | Coma Rossi (2018, India)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 953 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh). This is the band's debut album when they existed as a Bangalore-based atmospheric/shoegazey prog rock quintet. The band has since made some big changes and is now a Germany-/UK-based duo of original guitarist Gaurav Govilkar plus trans nonbinary musician Ada Galen, with a sound closer to post-rock/-metal as heard in their 2024 release, Void. Though I had added this album to The List because prog rock from India seems to be a rather rare thing, given the last album plus other projects Govilkar and Galen are in, I'm excited to see where this band goes next!

Self-Titled Summer | Coma Rossi (2018, India)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 953 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh). Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Point of origin(s): Formed in 2014 in Bangalore, India, this is the debut album from the band as a quintet of Tom Borah (vocals, acoustic guitar), Gaurav Govilkar (guitars), Udayan Kashalikar (bass, vocals), Anupam Panda (drums), and Juby Thomas (keyboards, samples).[1] Originally self-released just digitally, it was released on CD by Irish label Progressive Gears in 2019.
  • Tasting notes: Atmospheric prog rock, cinematic soundscapes, hints of shoegaze, harmonized vocals, emotions, a sonic hug
  • Standout track: “Transmission”, though it’s one of those albums where it’s best to listen to the entire thing.
  • Where are they now?: The band made some huge changes after this album. In 2022, all but Govilkar quit. Govilkar then recruited drummer Ada Galen (fka Diane) from the UK, tweaked the direction of the band’s sound to approach post-rock/-metal, and moved to Düsseldorf, Germany in 2023. The band as a duo just released their second album last year, Void, with Govilkar filling the roles of writer and vocalist, as well as providing all instrumentation other than drums. Govilkar is also in the synth-/dream-pop duo Us and I with Bidisha Kesh, formed in 2019 and still active. Galen is an incredibly busy musician involved in many projects, including prog rock bands Prefers to Hide in the Dark (plays drums and keys, debut released 2022) and Chasmhead (vocals and drums, debut released 2024), as well as prog metal band The Great Manta (debut released in 2023).

Happy listening!

  1. I’m not entirely sure who provides drums on the album. Discogs credits Panda as does the Rolling Stone India write-up, but the Bandcamp doesn’t mention Panda and lists Bhim Kaul and Shawn Jacob as guest drummers on four tracks. ↩︎
