The last of this week’s announcements, a band from Germany. A band that we know will make a lot of you happy, as their name is mentioned often in the ProgPower Europe Group. 2 weeks ago Thoughts Factory released their album: Elements. In less than 8 months, they will be on the ProgPower stage!

On their second album ‘Elements’ the German prog-metal group Thoughts Factory reach the ‘WOW’ factor over and over again.”
– Headbangers Lifestyle
An album to listen, carefully and to let yourself be carried away.
Recommended for: those who appreciate an original and technical form of progressive metal, but still accessible.
– 4/5 Loud and Proud
“Elements” is a very convincing progressive metal album that should get any fan of prog, power or heavy metal instantly sold. It’s a beautiful, emotional and melodic start that soon builds into a full and satisfying metal soundscape. It sounds like the start to a journey, as it is intended to be.”
9/10 The Metal Observer
“The men play in the service of the song. There is a nice flow in the album and moreover there is enough variation between heavy passages with a wall of sound on the one hand and atmospheric, calm sections on the other hand that let the music breathe. Moreover, there is a balance between complexity and accessibility.”
