Atomic Sun was formed in early 2025, when mike hewetson decided to produce a retro 70’s influenced progressive rock album, with jonathan barry joining on guitar, who previously played with the far meadow/ and la luna e le stelle- another of mike’s projects. The debut Atomic Sun was (self titled) album, began in early 2025, with mike “moogtron” hewetson collaborating with guitarist jonathan barry, both musicians previously played with prog bands in the past, mike noteably with Galahad in the late 1980’s and jon with the far meadow and other prog bands/hard rock bands.With a love for the classic “golden era” of progressive rock, mike began composing some mainly long form pieces, -playing/ recording all the keys/bass and drum parts, with many sessions recording jon’s guitar parts. The music was influenced by Genesis, Yes, EL&P, Focus, King Crimson, Marillion, The Enid, Arena, IQ, Ozric Tentacles and Vangelis , as examples, stamping their own mark on the music too, but with the extensive use of Mellotron/hammond organ and moogs. The music is a great example of prog rock from that early 1970’s golden era. There is a cd version of the album being worked on, and should be available here for purchase very soon.

Tânia Braz’s family roots originated from the interiors of Minas Gerais and São Paulo states, where her ancestors, local farmers, used to cultivate coffee and raise cattle. The story goes that in the evenings, after a hard day’s work, her grandmother, Dna Rita, surrounded by her ten children, would play the guitar and sing, while her husband recited poetry written by his brother Euclides. As the years went by, Tânia, who always studied music, did not think of pursuing it as a career until after graduating from college. It was then that she decided to shift her destiny. After studying music for several years, in 1997, she joined forces with a team of excellent instrumentalists and, as the vocalist and one of the composers of the group, formed the band “Arion” to venture into the world of symphonic progressive rock. Years passed by, in 2025, Tania Braz returned with a new musical project called LadyLike. Following the same patterns as the band Arion, LadyLike is led by singer and songwriter Tânia Braz. The group LadyLike is one of the highlights of Brazilian symphonic progressive rock. The group also includes Kadu Maranhão (guitar), Tiago Salgado (keyboards), Marco Túlio (drums and percussion), and De Páscoa (bass). In December 2025, LadyLike released their debut album, a true spectacle of Brazilian symphonic progressive rock.

Nemrud is a Psychedelic Progressive Rock band originating from Istanbul, Turkey, formed in 2008, that is achieving worldwide success with its psychedelic and progressive rock music. The name Nemrud is derived from Mount Nemrut, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Turkey, renowned for its ancient history and monumental statues. Nemrud has come a long way since its inception, having released three albums and created a unique sound that has started to spread, earning them the title of Pioneers of Turkish Progressive Rock. The lyrics delicately explore The Tree of Life and dive into the Origin of Sex and Origin of Mitosis. Nemrud’s carefully composed lyrics give the audience a dooming multivariate mythological inference for the extinction of humankind. All 4 albums are intertwined and include sophisticated references to evolutionary theories and ancient mythology. The album, “At The End Of The Day”, which was released as a double LP, explores themes of internal conflict, moral decay, the loss of justice, and humanity’s march toward its ultimate end, all conveyed through the distinctive sound. The band draws significant influence from iconic pioneers of the genre, such as Pink Floyd, Eloy, Camel, Yes, and many others. Nemrud comprises Mert Göçay (vocals, guitar), Mert Alkaya (drums), and Levent Candas (bass guitar).
