Progresif Metal ‘in eşşiz grubu Porcupine Tree ‘nin Closure Continuation C/C yeni albüm yorumu ile karşınızdayız. Bu albüm ile beraber PT, 2009 Incident dan bu yana devam eden 13 yıllık sessizliğini bozdu. Bin bir röportajında PT tekrar biraraya gelmez, hiç beklemeyin, ben solo işlerimle çok mutluyum falan filan deyip duran Steven Wilson’u da görmüş olduk böylece.

Progresif Rock Müzik önderlerinden Jethro Tull ‘ı, Fareli Köyün En Ünlü Kavalcısı Ian Anderson’un peşine takılıp gelen rockseverler hayranlıkla dinledi. İlk kez 1991 yılında Uluslararası İstanbul Festivali kapsamında Türk izleyicisiyle buluşan ve bugüne kadar yolu pek çok kez İstanbul’dan geçen Jethro Tull, dün akşam Zorlu PSM Turkcell Sahnesi’ndeydi.
Turkish power metal band Saints’N’Sinners released their second album entitled ‘Rise of the Alchemist’ in April with their own record label SNS Records. The first singles from the album caused a sensation in the genre when they started to appear on digital platforms. It seems like Deniz Tuncer who wrote the lyrics and the music keeps the secrets to the ancient science of alchemy and has the power to turn “metal” into gold, as Saints’N’Sinners made one of the most outstanding power/melodic metal albums of 2022 so far.
2002 yılında kurulan, ilk albümlerini 2013’te çıkartan ve kendi plak şirketleri SNS Records’tan bu yıl Rise of the Alchemist albümünü çıkartan İstanbullu Saints’N’Sinners, Mart ayında albümden ilk tekliler dijital platformlara düşmeye başladığından beri power metal dünyasını sallamakla meşgul.
Albümün müzik ve sözlerine imzasını atan Deniz Tuncer, anlaşılan sıradan “metali” altına dönüştürmenin, yani mistik ve efsanevi simya ilminin formülünü bulmuş ve Saints’N’Sinners bence bu yıl melodik metal-power metal alanında sözü geçecek albümlerden birini ortaya çıkartmış.
Amorphis, the melodic death metal masters from Finland, released their new album HALO in February 2022. As I was suffering from Covid-19 in February, the issue of this article was postponed to March. Like the previous albums of the band “Tales from the Thousand Lakes”(1994), “Tuonela”(1999) and the “Skyforger” (2009) HALO is about the Kalevala, the Finnish mythological epic. HALO topped the Finnish metal charts as soon as it was released in February. Now it is the right time to take a closer look at this spectacular album.
Death metal alt türlerinden favorim olan melodik death metal -in sağlam temsilcisi Finli Amorphis, Şubat 2022’de yeni albümü HALO’yu yayınladı. Covid-19’dan yatağa yapışınca el atamadığım bu yazı da böylece Mart sonuna kaldı. Grubun daha önceki “Tales from the Thousand Lakes”(1994), “Tuonela”(1999) ve “Skyforger” (2009) albümleri gibi konusunu Fin ulusal destanı Kalevala’dan alan HALO, yayınlanır yayınlanmaz Fin metal listelerine bir numaradan daldı. Bu gösterişli albüme yakından bakmanın şimdi tam zamanı…
Heavy Metal Müzik konusunda Clubhouse ‘un rakipsiz oluşumu Metal Oda bir yaşında. Iron Maiden’dan Steve Harris ve Pentagram’dan Ogün Sanlısoy ile aynı gün 12 Mart’ta doğan duygu küpü Balık Burcu mensubu Metal Oda Clubhouse ve Sosyal Medya hesaplarında da bir yılını doldurdu. Devlet Opera ve Balesi sanatçısı Erhan Güzel’in ardından “Clubhouse da neymiş? Bir bakalım.” diyerek dalıp çıkamadığım pandemi güzeli sosyal medya mecrası Clubhouse ’taki maceramız devam ediyor.
Swedish progressive metal supergroup Soen was on a worldwide recorded live-stream from Atlantis Grammofon Studios yesterday, on the 18th of February. Supporting their latest album “Imperial”, which I believe was one of the best metal albums of 2021, they did something spectacular already on their minds for a long time. They came with different songs from past and present albums: I noticed four tracks from Imperial, another four from Lotus, two from Lykaia, one from Cognitive and a surprise track I’m going to reveal later in this article.
When I wrote about the best metal albums of 2021 in December, I didn’t tell you which one I thought was the best among them. There was one hint though about its release date for the attentive reader. As I said in this article, there was that one album in 2021 which left me speechless and this is the “Moonflowers” by the Finnish death-doom masters Swallow The Sun. When I reviewed Iron Maiden’s Senjutsu in September, I remember saying it was too early to label this or that as the best metal album of the year, although I am a great Iron Maiden fan.
Some musicians hold a special place in my heart, one good example is prog metal master Steven Wilson. In October 2021, I made a broadcast in Clubhouse Metal Oda on Steven entitled “The Genius of Steven Wilson” where we explored his music through the years. Steven was nominated for 2022 Grammy Awards at the end of November: this was when I started to write this article. Many familiar faces in Rock & Metal genre are nominated for 2022 Grammy Awards in different categories: those who come immediately to my mind are Gojira, AC/DC, Mastodon, Dream Theater, Deftones and Rob Zombie. When I checked Wilson’s nomination, I was surprised to find out it was in Production-Best Immersive Audio category and not in song writing. So, here it would be appropriate to dive a little bit into Immersive Audio.
