Octavarium Malmö, Sweden
Progressive rock / metal from Malmö, Sweden. 'Octavarium' is the solo project of Mattias Ohlsson. The name of the project pays homage to the classic album by 'Dream Theater', a band which is also a great influence on the music of 'Octavarium'. Other influences include Porcupine Tree, Neal Morse and Riverside. Epic progressive metal combined with more accessible rock. Enjoy! ... more

As with previous releases this is a solid album from start to finish which continues the storyline, themes and signatures perfectly. 'Enigma' and 'Another Same' are on par with or superior to many commercial offerings by established prog artists. The Waters, Wilson and Hayward influences shine through once more but I also hear song writing very much in the style of Difford and Tilbrook, 'Trough of War' & 'Another Same' probably being the best examples. These chaps are the real deal!

It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
