What can I say? This is the FIRST band that I can honestly say I have heard that gives me musical impact much in the way Opeth has done over the years. That alone, says alot to me considering I hold Opeth so high on the pedestal. For the longest time, they are THE band, then second place is kinda down under from there. And, I have only heard 3 off Second Life Syndrome and none yet from their debut album, Out of Myself.
No joke. I may have just found a new favourite band here. Looks like my tastes are changing. It seems I'm digging more and more into the realm of prog-rock - that's where all the emotion lies.
I must say, Conceiving Me is the best damn song I have heard all year. Ethereal. That's the word to describe it. The guitar work is just absolutely dreamy.
My god, I thought I heard the best the year has to offer with such amazing releases from Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Arcturus, Klimt 1918 & Antimatter and then comes along this band, which I have actually been meaning to check out long ago due to the feedback I've been reading up on them. The praise they are receiving is phenomenal (as are the reviews) so of course I had to check them out. It was hard getting some mp3's, but when I did hear the 3 tracks I was blown away.
The comparisons to Opeth, Anathema, Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree were stated by many, but honestly, they do share that same style in music here and there, but I really do think they have their own flavour. They sound like, well, Riverside.
It was truly kick-ass to find out they are from my family's country of origin - Poland. Hell yeah, finally a Polish band that to me is what Opeth are to Sweden. My jaw hit the ground in a sec when I found out they were from Poland. Now, I have an even GREATER reason to go back and visit my family over there, which I haven't been to in years.
I MUST see this band Live or I'll go crazy. And it looks like they're not yet big in the north american area.
To all who have not yet discovered this awesome band, do so immediately. Chances are, you'll be as impressed as I am.
The vocal work is, to my SHOCK, right on par with Mike's from Opeth in that elegant style. Geez the guy has emotion. The guitar work is right up there with Pink Floyd and the emotion of Anathema is apparent within, but to new heights. This band is like a fine mixture of all the GREAT bands that I listen to. Heck, I even heard hints of In the Woods in there....
I'm ordering both their album's as we speak.
