Self Released

Solo artist Alex Pilkevych has really put a lot of effort and passion into his fourth release – and gifts us with arguably one of the very best EPs of the year. From the acoustic beginnings of ‘Madness’ via the stomping synth beat of ‘Honesty’ and the veggie prog metal rollercoaster that is ‘Celery’ all the way to the Tool-ish (not foolish!) dark and haunting bass groove of ‘Trauma’, it clocks in at just under 19 minutes, but it’s so full and rich of emotions, that its nourishment will last for days! Guest musicians Adam Janzi (VOLA) on drums and percussions and Katie Thompson (Chiasma) on additional vocals add even more layers and dimensions to the already amazing compositions by this young and extremely talented artist who should be on the radar of any fan of progressive music at least now with the release of this little stroke of genius. Whether it’s VOLA, Opeth, Tool or Leprous, Alex certainly doesn’t need to hide next to them with his best work to date. Don’t miss out on this one and also keep an eye out for our Progtalks episode with him which will drop on Wednesday, Nov. 25!
