It is with the greatest of pleasure the The Ministry of Prog proudly presents, for your delectation and delight, the inaugural Proguphoria festival to be held at the rather spiffing Mr Kyps rock and roll venue in Parkstone, Poole, Dorset, England on Saturday 20th October 2012 from 4pm onwards.
This celebration of modern popular music will feature several well respected bands loosely associated with the rock/progressive genre, namely:
Galahad will be playing a selection of songs from both their new studio albums Battle Scars and Beyond The Realms Of Euphoria as well as a few golden galaclassics. |

"...an ambitious, psychadelic wash of melodies..." - Prog Magazine
Knifeworld return with their strongest release to date - Clairvoyant Fortnight, out on Believers Roast, 11th June 2012. The EP follows 2011's critically acclaimed EP Dear Lord, No Deal and their 2009 debut album Buried Alone: Tales Of Crushing Defeat.
With their trademark uncompromising psychedelia in full effect, Knifeworld still sound like no-one else. Intense and kaleidoscopic, this release offers another piece of the curious jigsaw.
Clairvoyant Fortnight (Radio Edit), the free single and title track of the EP is available to download via our [A Badge Of Friendship's] Soundcloud page. The full version of the track will be available on the EP. |

Finally reunited again with their original singer Michael Sadler, Canadian rockers Saga will release the ultimate AOR/progressive rock album, 20/20, worldwide on July 6.
Since Saga's foundation in 1977, the band has toured the globe various times, won many awards and has sold over eight million albums worldwide. Their musical style is defined by prominent guitar riffs, often in harmony with a synthesizer, and complex keyboard arrangements.
The title 20/20, first of all, refers to the album being the 20th of Saga, but in addition, it's a good luck wish to Jim Gilmour, who had to undergo an eye operation during Saga's latest European tour. 20/20 stands for the perfect eyesight. |

Two years after their great comeback on the musical scene with the album Melapesante, the new prog italian band is back with a new concept album. An high voltage symphonic rock album, with the special participation of the Moody Blues’ co-founder Ray Thomas on flute.
Syndone prog band presents the new album The Beauty Is The Beast (AMS/BTF 2012, 12 tracks, 46.30 min.). An important comeback for this group led by the composer and keyboardist Nik Comoglio, who put the group together again in 2010 after years of silence. After the Melapesante concept-album, which may be considered like their “starting over album," now it comes The Beauty Is The Beast: a new concept album written by the vocalist Riccardo Ruggeri, based on the symbolism of 1756 Beaumont's tale and open to various interpretations and suggestions. For this new album – fourth in the group’s career - Syndone comes back to the trio but with more maturity and fantasy: Nik Comoglio (all keyboards), Riccardo Ruggeri (vocals and lyrics) and Francesco Pinetti (marimba, vibraphone, percussions) are such the "basic personnel" which has orchestrated the whole work creating the best “musical scenery” for the characters interpreted by the vocalist. |

New Song Available For Streaming
Since the release of their most recent album, Pterodactyls, last August, The Mercury Tree found itself at a turning point. Pterodactyls was an epic concept album whose songs felt very much of a piece, and upon its successful completion, it seemed time for a fresh approach. New bass player Aaron Clark has brought a spacier mood to the proceedings, using creative techniques such as E-Bowed bass.
On the new album, the band wanted to try to bridge the gap between its highly layered studio sound and its more direct live sound. To that end, many of the new songs are based around live looping. This allows a combination of complex layered guitar parts with the power and energy of organic live drums and bass. "We wanted the new songs to be both more progressive and more melodic," explains guitarist Ben Spees. "'Inflexus' is one of the harder-edged examples of this new approach. We are really excited about these new songs and can't wait to finish recording the new album."
The new, still untitled album will be released this Summer. Listen to Inflexus .
