Awesome to see the new An Abstract Illusion album ”The Sleeping City” on Loudwire’s list of best prog albums of the year. Last year we had ”Powernerd” with Devin Townsend, and now this. 2026, three in a row? I’m calling it already.

BIG BRAIN METAL! 🤘🧠 Another brilliant year for prog metal, from the most respected veterans to some promising relative newcomers! ⁣
