CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS?
Crippled Black Phoenix are no strangers to reinvention so when vocalist Daniel Änghede left the band shortly before their most recent recording session, they didn’t let it get in the way of making Ellengæst. Multi-instrumentalist founder Justin Greaves tells Prog about getting creative with old friends and how Beowulf turned out to be a major source of inspiration.
Words: Dom Lawson
Strong spirits: Justin Greaves and his feline companion, Fangs.

She’s best known for playing Doc Martin’s Louisa Glasson, but the British actor has spent the last few years working on a film about the life of Delia Derbyshire. She explains how she ended up telling this unique tale and why it’s so important to keep women’s stories in the public eye
Groundhogs
They helped to spearhead the British blues boom before taking a turn into rock’s left-field for a quartet of classic albums. They bolstered their sound with Mellotron and synth. They even recruited the drummer from Egg. So it’s high time we asked: How prog are the Groundhogs?
OSIBISA
Every month we get inside the mind of one of the biggest names in music. This issue it’s Osibisa. The Afrorock band formed in 1969 and were responsible for bringing African music to new audiences in Europe and North America. A young Roger Dean created their early album covers and their combination of African rhythms with Latin grooves played an important role in popularising world music. Over the years, they’ve captured the hearts of audiences at Ronnie Scott’s and the Royal Festival Hall, as well as Cropredy Convention. Founder members Teddy Osai and Wendell ‘Dell’ Richardson tell the story of their musical mission…

THE PROG READERS’ POLL 2020
In some ways 2020 will forever be tagged
This Creeping Malaise
Few albums from the 70s have such relevance today as Animals. It captured the moment when Pink Floyd made the giant leap from lush to harsh, from a pillow of winds to cold shafts of broken glass. Although some fans missed the expansive soundscapes of its predecessors, its lyrics tore into the evils of capitalism and abuses of power and seem even more apposite today than at the time. Prog explores the ugly beauty of Floyd’s 10th studio album
Crossing Oceans Of Time
In late 2006, The Ocean set themselves the loftiest of goals: to tell Earth’s entire history through music. Three albums and 14 years later, the postmetal connoisseurs have finally completed their mission. Founder Robin Staps tells Prog about their ambitious musical journey through space and time
Out of this World
Over the last few decades, Rob Reed’s profile has been raised through a number of musical ventures. Hot on the heels of this year’s releases with Magenta and Chimpan A comes the electronic album, Cursus 123 430. Prog catches up with the Welsh wizard to find out about his latest project
Bits On The Side
And there’s more! Robert Reed reveals his upcoming prog-friendly projects
Flying High Again
Two years after releasing the dramatic Dead Magic, Anna von Hausswolff returns to her first love: the pipe organ. But this time there’s a difference. Prog catches up with the Swedish experimentalist to find out more about her first instrumental album, and the enchanting landmark that inspired it
Observing Dead Air
Katatonia’s 2020 might not have gone to plan but the Swedes have still managed to find some stability despite all the uncertainty. Their latest release, Dead Air, was recorded live in a controlled environment and, as frontman Jonas Renkse explains, it’s left them with an itch for touring again
DOUBLE THE FUN
With the extra time on their hands, The Flower Kings are back sooner than anticipated. Roine Stolt tells Prog why the inspiration won’t run dry anytime soon despite releasing two double albums in less than 12 months
The Six Power of Six
As folk-proggers Solstice celebrate their 40th anniversary and enter their fifth decade with the release of new studio album Sia, founder member and guitarist Andy Glass tells Prog he’s counting his blessings and looking forward to the next 10 years
Felix Nativitatis
It’s been a tumultuous year but Iamthemorning are celebrating the end of 2020 in their trademark style. Vocalist and lyricist Marjana Semkina chats to Prog about their seasonal EP, Counting The Ghosts, in which she explores her love of Victorian England and adds a melancholic twist to a William Blake poem
AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE
The Flaming Lips are on a roll. Not only have they released a second studio album in less than 18 months, but they’ve also come up with an unusual way for fans to enjoy their live shows. Band leader Wayne Coyne reminisces about growing up in Oklahoma and why their future could involve a lot of bubbles
The Keyboard Warrior
After almost a decade apart, Sons Of Apollo’s keysman Derek Sherinian has regrouped with Protocol’s Simon Phillips for a new solo album. As The Phoenix takes flight, he chats to Prog about working with Phillips, playing from the heart and that time he jammed with Eddie Van Halen
