Vauruvã - Mar da Deriva (2025)


Mar da Deriva unfolds as a triptych of dreamlike sonic odysseys, each hybridizing folk, ambient, and black metal into a hallucinatory voyage. The album flows seamlessly from slow acoustic introductions to tempestuous black metal outbursts—then retreats again into serene synth and flute passages. It conjures sweeping, otherworldly landscapes where flutes, arpeggiated acoustic guitars, and bird sounds overlay brutal riffing and blast beats, immersing the listener in emotional contrast. While rooted in tradition, the album is elevated by Lemos’s masterful melding of violence and beauty, tension and release. Ultimately, it stands as Vauruvã’s most compelling work yet—dreamy, bold, and profoundly cinematic.

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel. This blend of pastoral and dark themes marks Where Ideal and Denial Collide as a promising and inventive contribution to the prog scene​ The PROG Mind   Prog Rock Central   Prog Rock Central .
