ONNO SHOMOY

This is supposed to be Extreme ? Hey, this is more like Neo Progressive Rock. Singing in language completely unknown to me, sounding like combination of weird Italian (no offense though my Italian brother) and unknown influences, this band is interesting. Even it's presenting something not so original (it sounds original because of language a lot). Don't deny these Metal influences completely, it is Tech Metal a little bit, but not so much. And only in some songs. It's pending from Rock to Metal realm easily and it's just good that it works so well. This music is interesting in something, the same thing I've encountered in many bands recently. The problem is that the most of "originality" is gone and so, most of things (that human can appreciate) in music, so I realized that I want to follow certain philosophy - To find something good in everything (which, as you can see from some of my reviews, isn't possible in all cases).

If this is, what Bangladesh has to offer, then I'm all in.

4(+), non-exotic sounding exotic band.

And I can say that their first effort - Onno Shom ... (read more)
