Next on the playlist!

After much delay, here are the handful of album reviews I've written since July.  As usual, clicking on the album covers will take you to the band's music where you can listen to and/or download the album in full.  The hyperlinks will take you to my reviews.

Yossi Sassi Band - Roots & Roads (Israel)
[PROG Mind / Tollbooth]

The Yossi Sassi Band officially debuts its unique brand of Middle Eastern metal with a conscience, branching out of the independent musings of the band’s founder into a collaborative effort.
Karmakanic - DOT (Sweden)
[PROG Mind / Tollbooth]

DOT is a new apex for Karmakanic, a symphonic project rich with virtuosity and creativity.
John Wesley - A Way You'll Never Be... (USA)
[PROG Mind / Tollbooth]

Another hook-filled, hard rock album with an indie, singer/songwriter bend, A Way You’ll Never Be is the distillation of John Wesley’s past projects and a conception of music that is raw and unapologetic.

The Jelly Jam's well-crafted fourth record is their first concept album.
Syndone - Eros & Thanatos (Italy)

Eros and Thanatos is a powerful, multilayered concept album with memorable passages (whether or not you speak Italian!) and plenty of complex musical hooks that will especially attract the ears of keys aficionados.
