NEW ADDITIONS TO A-Z LISTING
Written by Thedo Roes (Germany)

OBAZDA (Germany) - Formidable progressive rock with Bavarian vocals. Unique!
OCEANSIZE (UK) - Unconventional mix between new art rock and independent rock
OKTOBER (Germany) - Political protest rock with very good progressive instrumentation. Same league as Krautrock heroes FLOH DE COLOGNE and EULENSPYGEL
OLDFIELD, Mike (Irland) - Path breaking progressive instrumentals with tubular bells as musical trademark. Unfortunately more commercial in later years. Essential milestones!
OPETH (Sweden) - Formerly death metal band goes progressive ways in the past years. Instead of death metal grunts, vocalist Mikael AKERFELDT shows that he is a very clean and good singer
ORNE (Finland) - Seven-piece dark progressive band influenced by VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, BLACK WIDOW and BLACK SABBATH
ORPHANED LAND (Israel) - Powerful progressive rock combined with Jewish and Arabian folk in use of chamber music instruments
