Artist: Steven Wilson

The Mikael Åkerfeldt + Steven Wilson collabo project dubbed Storm Corrosion has been fueling Internet boners for months (years?) already. Two of prog metal's great writers together in one band! Blackwater Park Part II! Imagine all the possibilities! But Wilson dropped a bomb sure to deflate many a stiffy in a recent interview with StarsDie.com [via Metal [...]

For those of you unfamiliar with the name Amit Sharma, he's the swish young longhair you'll have seen interviewing bands over on our YouTube channel. Amit is so superfly, that Corey Taylor once mistook him for an actual rockstar. True story. He really, really wanted his own page to tell you about his favourite albums [...]

(from Unpopular Opinion Rick Perry) Whew, what a week. I don't know where you all are, but here in NYC it's 5pm and it's already been completely dark outside for a while. FML. Here's what happened this week: Corey discovered that our "Best of 20113 lists weren't as bad as you thought they were with [...]

(Photo borrowed from MusicPlayers.com) They say "never meet your heroes." I don't think they say anything about interviewing them. For decades now, Steven Wilson and his many projects have been consistent sources of inspiration and joy to music lovers, audiophiles, and regular people alike. Like many musical masterminds, Mr. Wilson prefers to let his work [...]

Ja, daar zijn we weer! De prachttijd van sinterklaasgedichten, overheerlijke kerstdiners, vuurwerk en bovenal eindejaarslijstjes is aangebroken. Elk jaar is het weer een lastige afweging hoe ik mijn favo-platen van het jaar in een overzichtelijke top 10 ga gooien. Omdat ik, na het terugbrengen van longlist naar shortlist naar shorterlist nog veel te veel leuke platen overhield, heb ik besloten het eens anders te doen. Dit jaar krijg je van mij 10 paren aan platen, die onderling of erg vergelijkbaar waren, discussies opriepen, voor mij een vergelijkbare betekenis hadden of nou eenmaal een makkelijke gemene deler hadden. Vervolgens probeer ik [...]

I love the branding of Steven Wilson as a "rock renaissance man," as dubbed so in a recent press release announcing his first-ever North American solo tour. I mean, he is, right? Aside from being the founder, lead guitarist, singer and songwriter of Porcupine Tree - one of the biggest prog bands of the past [...]

STEVEN WILSON (Porcupine Tree, Blackfield) brings his epic live show to North America tomorrow, November 8th, starting in Orlando. If you thought he couldn't top the amazing Porcupine Tree live experience, then be prepared to be blown away as he does a series of special solo shows in support of his new album, Grace For [...]

Ik ben benieuwd wat de volgende stap zal worden die Steven Wilson met Porcupine Tree gaat zetten. Gaat-ie proberen de band de stap te laten maken naar nóg grotere zalen? Ik gok van wel, want hij heeft in zijn andere...

He's as challengingly divisive as ever, but the strength of Grace for Drowning is that it bridges that divide to Steven Wilson's benefit. This review, over the course of the next few years, will become one of seemingly countless reviews of an album that involves British polymath Steven Wilson. Between Porcupine Tree, the prog rock band that remains his most popular, No-Man, which remains his artistically successful group - not to mention Blackfield and Bass Communion - and the incredible number of records he produces and mixes (Opeth's and Anathema's newest records being the latest two), Wilson [...]

An occasionally challenging, but ultimately rewarding listen from Porcupine Tree's renaissance man.

The Porcupine Tree frontman reveals why he's jazzed about his unconventional new solo album. Steven Wilson is music's answer to Chuck Yeager: He's continually striving to break sound barriers. On his second solo album, Grace for Drowning (released September 27 on K-Scope), the frontman of the rock band Porcupine Tree has forged an unusual sonic alchemy of progressive rock, textural electronica, piano-pop balladry, soundtrack-like soundscapes, doom rock . . . and jazz. When a rock musician admits to a new jazz direction, you'd be forgiven for conjuring up images...
