Magyar Posse, anyone ?

[opethmaniac]

Do you know this finnish band ? An excellent mix of experimental music, post rock and old prog rock...truly amazing, have a look at :

They are not that famous (yet) but they just released their 3rd album a month ago or something ("Random Avenger") and this is just...AWESOME !!
Hope you'll like them !!

I really like 'We Will Carry You Over The Mountains', haven't checked their other stuff out yet though.

"King Of Time" is very beautiful, it's the best !

You could check their other stuff out, you won't really take a risk as the 2 albums following "We will..." are excellent too !! There's even something like a "hit" on "King of time", the second track...

....and I'm quite sure this band could hugely interest Mike if he can read this post...unless he's already in love with them !

why are they called 'magyar posse' if they are finnish?

truly interesting band. although i cant say what theyre doing is entirely original...i CAN say that how they do it...is. dark, epic and genuine soundscapes that would make the likes of bernard herrmann blush. definitely a band to keep close attention to in times to come...

Sounds quite interesting.

WHy do you say that ? Is "Magyar Posse" something which has a sense in english or something ?

'magyar' means 'hungarian'

great band, love the latest album! ..haven't listened to the other two enough yet.

For those who are interested, on www.magyarposse.com , the band uploaded a FULL bootleg (over one hour) to download, from 2005, with an incredible great sound...the good way for the fans to have a live recording and for the other ones, the curious one, to discover that incredible band !
Check it out !

They got the name from the cheapest wine sold in Finland:
