The HFoS Prog Rock Halloween Mixtape Thingy

Call me a tenuous bandwagon-jumper, if you like. I readily hold my hands up.

Well, it is Halloween, so what better than a horrifying mix of prog, psych and folk to blow the cobwebs from your proverbial tombstones?

Sometimes (ahem) terrifying, sometimes spooky, other times just plain weird. It’s a tricky treat, all the way.

Press play and prepare for a scare. (Track list below)
