Graal (earlier Brainstorm) for Tech/Extr Prog meta

It's another forgotten underground (and very interesting) band -

maybe even more obscure then band beginning with F from Finland:

I think this forgotten band should be en par with various revealed underground 90s avant garde extreme bands such VED BUENS ENDE, DEMILICH (but not as dense), ANUBI, AGES GONE itd. 

but sound of their only full album Sigullum Naturae can not be compared to any other band (maybe mentioned above and Voivod, more weird Diabolical Masquarade, first Forgotten Silence, first Maudlin of the well, Carbonized Screaming Machines/Disharmonization are good comparison)

Loud water bass, cranky guitar but with moments of melancholic melodies, zombi vocals, weird keyboards with bit of circus melodies, flute...

Generally eclectic exellent composed tracks creating a concise album with a strange atmosphere.

Here we have:

-Death/Black Metal in Krautrock tribal style on demo Brainstorm 1995

("Fiery Ritual" sounds like from 1970.)

-Avant-garde Progressive Metal/Rock with folk elements on Sigullum Naturae 1998 (most important album)
