Is it also Friday where you are? In this thirteenth edition of Musicellaneous we continue to learn about lesser-known yet very progressive bands with a three-word title.
Today we’re listening to Lost in Thought from Swansea (Wales, UK) which plays melodic progressive metal.
It’s Friday! As a follow-up to the topic of symphonic metal started by Osture in the previous edition of Musicellaneous, this time I’d like to tell you about once-existed German band Beyond the Bridge.
During its lifetime the band has recorded the only album, but it’s a real masterpiece (you wouldn’t see them in this series otherwise).

It’s Friday again, which means—another gulp of exotic music in the eleventh edition of Musicellaneous!
This time I’m going to sidestep the tradition of reviewing instrumental djent stuff. Our guests today are the cinematic progressive metal band (in their own words) Ostura from Lebanon.

It’s Friday again! This tenth edition of Musicellaneous features another unique project by a talented individual. I’m talking about the instrumental progressive metal band Andromida, which is in fact just one person: the American Ramon Gutierrez.
The band is unique because Ramon is “legally blind”, which was discovered when he was as little as three years old.

It’s Friday! This ninth edition of Musicellaneous presents romantic djent played by the American band Sea in the Sky.
Friday is always imminent! For this eighth edition of Musicellaneous I had to dig a wee bit deeper this time. So I’ve dug out one of the most mysterious characters of the instrumental prog who is hiding behind the Gru monicker.
And I do hope it isn’t related to GRU whatsoever.
Happy Friday everyone! This seventh edition of Musicellaneous features two gems at once: the American band Covet and its frontwoman multi-instrumentalist Yvette Young, who is by the way also a painter.
Covet’s genre is officially called math rock, which I would perhaps prepend with “maidenly”.

Friday! This sixth edition of Musicellaneous features the model djent band Vitalism from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
Vitalism was started in 2014 as a solo project of guitarist Ed Garcia, who recorded a single called Gradus.

It’s Friday again, the time when music stars are falling from the sky, or now and then a whole nebula!
In this fifth edition of Musicellaneous I’d like to introduce the dear reader to The Helix Nebula, Australian wizards of instrumental prog metal, which sometimes diverges into djent and math rock.

It’s Friday, time to explore the realm of unfamiliar music again!
The unfamiliar is represented today by the Haamoja project from Taiwan playing djent/jazz/fusion.
