raunitarquiniomuniz Waiting for your next album, I love every song and story you tell on them. Here in Brazil an admirer of your work.

yourmetalfriend Icelandic black metal? Pssssh, bring on the prog!

Ring of Gyges' debut is a complex, powerful, and extremely entertaining proggy journey into another realm. It honestly reminds me of reading an Ursula K. Le Guin novel. Favorite track: Dawn.

about

Ring Of Gyges Reykjavík, Iceland

Although Ring of Gyges are heavily inspired by the progressive rock bands of the 70’s, their sound is much more metal- oriented and draws influences from progressive bands of the modern age. They strive to create epic and grandiose music with unconventional song structures and vast soundscapes, often accompanied by philosophical lyrics. ... more

It All Began With Loneliness
by The Anchoret

supported by 13 fans who also own “Beyond the Night Sky”

One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic. josich

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 12 fans who also own “Beyond the Night Sky”

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ
