Hi! 

May I present a new, very interesting band from Russia. I've found them in the internet recently.

Bandcamp:
And the first band's full album:

Just listen to them! I'm totally sure - this is one of the best prog releases in this year!

This band is located in Moscow, Russia. Beautiful, kind and gentle music with a strong influence of King Crimson, Yes, PF, Radiohead, etc. Female vocals mainly in English.

If accepted, I'll request full bio info  and line-up from the founder.

Yes, an interesting band indeed!

I always like to see what an unfamiliar band looks like (and sounds like) live, so I hope you don't mind me adding a few tubes to your thread:











The band certainly deserves a place here, but in which sub genre I'm not entirely sure. My guess would be Eclectic Prog rather than Symphonic...But hey - I know nothing!! Embarrassed

Agree with Eclectic Prog sub genre! However, I'm still not sure about it :)

But, people, where are all of you? Need answers!
