    These weekly new product shows are always anticipated and enjoyed, Pete. Listened to some of the tracks you mentioned. Enjoyable but will require more listening here to see where it fits in play rotation. Thanks again.

    I have been waiting for this one, thanks Pete! Evergrey sure has risen as one of my favorite "newer" bands.
    Im waiting patiently on your Ayreon/Arjen Lucassen album ranking show as well!
    As some other bands I would highly recommend you check out if you have not already, Toehider is a great progressive band, they do a lot of stuff, its hard to categorise them, I would call Toehider the prog metal Queen. They did a 12 EPs in 12 months thing, amazing results. And have 4 other albums. "I like it!" and "Good" are amazing top to bottom, great listens.
    Secondly, i cannot stress enough how much I love The Night Flight Orchestra ever since I found them. Amazing AOR/hard rock with disco sprinkled throughout, all 6 of their albums are good and make you dance, but Amber Galactic is in my opinion the best.
    Lastly, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. No words. At the core, psychedelic rock, pure creativeness, complex albums and music, and never saying in one genre. They do it all. From trash to jazz to prog and some punky stuff, and in 10 years 20 albums, with 5 albums in 2017, they are very distinct, just need to get behind the weird name.
    Hope you check out and enjoy these. And again, cheers for the review!

    To be honest, I have to say that I liked The Atlantic even more. But this album is still very good and will not disappoint any metal fan. Greetings from Germany!
