The man, the myth and the legend that is Leo Sypniewski has done us proud with another professionally mixed and mastered full live set. This time it’s Reflections who took to the stage in St. Paul Minnesota at Amsterdam Bar & Hall on 12th April and deliver a career spanning set. The band have an
While we impatiently wait for the arrival of their new EP “Shadow” another single from Relfections has emerged in “Deva”. Alongside that a music video has premiered which confirms that Calle Thomer of Vildhjarta and Humanity’s Last Breath fame assisted with the writing on the new record. That of course makes perfect sense as Buster
A third and final single of 2023 from Minnesota Progressive Metalcore act Reflections has surfaced as the band prepare for a couple of months of shows at the turn of the year. Titled “Alone“, curiously it was originally written, recorded and pencilled in for an early 2022 arrival before the band revised it before deciding
Having recently shared an alternative version of “Vain Words From Empty Minds” from a companion piece to their 2013 album “Exi(s)t“, Twin Cities Minnesota DJentlemen Reflections have taken the left hand path once more and premiered a brand new song.

There is one man who could make them heavier and they have turned
Probably the toughest category of our listmania awards series each year has to be the albums. These pages have had a daily review during the year of the Great Plague of 2020 and there have even been some occasions when there have been more than one. So that’s 365 plus records to consider, which is
The single that saw the return of Twin Cities Minnesota DJentlemen Reflections after four years in the wilderness in 2019 was “From Nothing“. A skull crushing affair that is a worthy follow up to their brilliant critically acclaimed 2015 album “The Color Clear“, it turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg with the equally
Back in February we reviewed “Willow“, the return after an almost 3 year hiatus from Twin Cities Minnesota DJentlemen Reflections and like a fine Wine, the band just gets darker, richer and more full bodied with age. Having already served up a couple of playthrough videos, they’ve returned with one for album opener “Synthetics“, filmed
We were due to be seeing Minneapolis, Minnesota DJentlemen Reflections at Tech-Fest in just a couple of weeks time but… so here is an 8 string guitar playthrough of “Empathy” from their February drop “Willow“, mixed and mastered by Jeff Key which is available right now over at bandcamp. Visionist guitarist Matt Judd is going
