Jason Bieler And The Baron Von Bielski Orchestra - The Baroness Sessions (2025)


The Baroness Von Bielski is a flamboyant and fearless addition to Jason Bieler’s eclectic catalogue, one that fuses progressive rock theatrics with alt-metal crunch and quirky, genre-bending detours. The Baroness herself adds an eccentric yet captivating presence, anchoring tracks like “Human Head” and “Vampire Souls” with a blend of playfulness and menace. Musically, the record swings from angular riffs and prog-metal intensity to lush melodic passages, often within the same track, underscoring Bieler’s refusal to obey stylistic borders. The production is vibrant and layered, highlighting the album’s conceptual flair while maintaining clarity in its complex arrangements. Ultimately, it’s a joyful, unpredictable ride—equal parts absurdist theater and serious musicianship—that proves Bieler remains one of prog rock’s most imaginative provocateurs.

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 .
