It’s hard to believe: The year 2021 is already halfway up again. But one thing already seems clear: It’s a very good year for music! In the lockdown, many of my favorite bands as well as promising newcomers got plenty of creativity.
At the moment I get something amazing on my ears every week. Consequence: My traditional top 10 list at the end of the year is in principle already full at the beginning of July … And when these bands and artists all come on tour with us next year, 2022 will be even better!
Here are my favorites (in random order):
Trope – Eleutheromania (Alternative Prog)
Vola – Witness (Djent)
Hillward – Alternate Timelines (Prog Metal)
Astrakhan – A Slow Ride Towards Death (Prog Metal)
Wheel – Resident Human (Prog Metal)
Vienna Circle – Secrets Of The Rising Sun (Alternative)
Frost* – Day And Age (Prog Rock)
The Anonymous Androgynous feat. Peter Hammill – We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal (Psychedelic / Retro Prog)
Mariusz Duda – Claustrophobic Universe (Electronic)
Soen – Imperial (Prog Metal)
