DE PROFUNDIS

Hungarian classical rock blending orchestral movements with that of rock. "De Profundis" is a highly original and creative album which draws parallels in many ways to the output of early KING CRIMSON. As usual "AFTER CRYING" utilize a vast array of instrumentation to create their musical atmospheres (cello, tuba, violin, oboe, clarinet, flute....). One of the most striking elements in their music which I love is the mix of electric guitar with classical instrumentation. Their tones are warm and colorful and their music is highly creative and full of imagination. Although a good chunk of "De Profundis" is instrumental, vocals are scattered throughout. Songs are sung in native Hungarian which are very well done. The intro to the album opens with a grand angelic-like prayer "Bevezetes" which I find absolutely haunting to this day. "De Profundis" contains some simply amazing musicianship and is beautiful music through and through. A Great progressive discovery for your speakers.
