  Between The Buried And Me - The Blue Nowhere

  PRESALE - RELEASE 12 SEPT 2025 | Progressive metal visionaries Between the Buried and Me return with their most immersive and eclectic record yet—The Blue Nowhere. Mixing uncharted musical detours with their distinctive aggressive identity, the band create a conceptual world unlike anything in their incredible catalog, inviting the listener to experience the journey on their own terms. Trying something new is not unusual for the group, who once again find ways to expand their musical palette while maintaining the band’s core sound. Between the Buried and Me remain allergic to stagnation, and The Blue Nowhere proves their creative drive is stronger than ever. “It feels like a natural evolution for the band,” says Rogers. “We’re not repeating ourselves. We’re lucky to have a fanbase that’s along for the ride.”

  Cosmograf - The Orphan Epoch

  The Orphan Epoch is a set of songs that speak of a refusal to conform, align, or coalesce. It’s an expression of discontent, a statement of our times, but maybe also an instruction to refuse to accept binary choice and choose a path to walk alone. This is a new era of disconnection, disillusion and disinformation. Your perception will define your reality…“It was an easy album to make, in writing terms. I can’t even tell you where the songs came from, but they just arrived and seemed to want to tell a story themselves.”, says Cosmograf’s Robin Armstrong. “Instead of setting out to write another concept album, I wanted these songs to exist in their own space and time. This was the result…” I think it’s my most diverse work to date”. Robin is once again joined by drummer Kyle Fenton with a special guest appearance from Peter Jones playing saxophone on the track ’Seraphim Reels’.

  Deep Purple - Made In Japan (Steven Wilson Remix)

  PRESALE - RELEASE DATE 15 AUG 2025 - Deep Purple’s classic 1972 live album Made In Japan is reissued as 5CD+Blu-ray featuring newly remixed versions of all three of its concerts, plus both stereo and Atmos mixes by Steven Wilson. Wilson’s stereo mix is also available separately as a 2LP version. Featuring Deep Purple’s Mk II line-up of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice, Made In Japan was recorded to 8-track by the band’s regular studio engineer Martin Birch during concerts at Osaka’s Festival Hall on 15-16th August 1972 and Tokyo’s Budokan on 17 August. Wilson says of his new mixes: “It’s all completely as it happened on the night. The album has a power and sense of abandon that they never quite captured in the studio. Hopefully, this new mix makes it feel even more like you’re there.” Richard Digby-Smith has created new mixes of the three original concerts for this new reissue.

  Discipline - Breadcrumbs [CD]/PRE

  Detroit’s Discipline have hardly been prolific across their near 40-year career. After releasing three albums between 1988 and 1997, they took a long hiatus, only restarting with 2011’s To Shatter All Accord, followed by Captives Of The Wine Dark Sea in 2017. Now arrives Breadcrumbs, which sees bandleader Matthew Parmenter reunited with longtime bassist Mathew Kennedy and guitarist Chris Herin of Tiles. While it’s a band album, it’s clear that it’s mainly Parmenter’s work. Aside from his usual organ, piano and bursts of Mellotron, he also plays acoustic guitar and violin. His theatrical, 1970s-influenced vocal style has been toned down, while his innate sense of passion and melody remain. New drummer Henry Parmenter turns in a terrifically intricate performance, his snare work in particular brought to the fore by Brown’s delicate mix. The lyrics remain obtuse and poetic, inviting listener interpretation; but they seem split into two themes across the four vocal tracks.

  Enigmatic Sound Machines - Imperfect Silence [CD]/PRE

  While steadfastly maintaining an emphasis on striking melodies, ESM’s third album takes you on an inner journey, infusing a higher level of symphonics in each track with layers of mellotron, saxophone, flute, lush string orchestrations, overt electric guitars, and percussions. The themes will run the gamut from the perfection of birth, through the meanderings of life and ultimately to the silence of death, forever yearning for a better future, together with the joys of living a worthy existence and enduring the trials and tribulations of a tired world of endless confusion, stress, depression, and ultimately, to reach some higher revelation. “Imperfect Silence” is meant to be listened as a whole and revealing all its intricacies.Silence is not the absence of sound—it’s the presence of something deeper. In Perfect Silence, the soul-searching centerpiece of Enigmatic Music Machines’ third album, asks a profound question: How do you quantify silence in music?

  Jakko M. Jakszyk - Son Of Glen

  Styx - Circling From Above

  Styx was founded well over 50 years ago and had a string of hits in the 70s. Their sound was marked by rich stacks of vocals, tunes that stuck in our heads, and a sound that had many of the hallmarks of prog while being poppy enough to get their songs on the radio. The new album, Circling from Above, continues in the same tradition as their recent excellent offerings. While it sounds just like a Styx album, there are some really interesting tracks with nods to other classic bands and styles along the way. The album features a remarkable breadth of styles as Styx cranks through 13 strong tracks with all lead vocalists getting a chance to shine and the trademark vocal harmonies front and center.
