Heptagram (Bulgaria) for Eclectic Prog

 

As for which team should evaluate this, there are certainly a mixture of sub genre influences here, but I think Eclectic wouldn't quite be right for this. There is a fair amount of kick-ass Heavy Prog in this music (especially in the earlier tracks), & even a touch of metal in places, but also some more fluid and laid back interludes from start of track 7 onwards, where the album begins to assume a more Post-Rock overall feel. Track 7 itself, 'Salute', contains some lovely sax, and there is also use made of the Bulgarian version of the Kaval (a flute-like instrument) on track 11. Despite the variation in style shown in the album I would be tempted to give the boys over in Heavy Prog the first opportunity to take this one, and if they didn't feel it was quite right for them, then Eclectic as a second choice.

 

Utterly 'must-have' artist, as far as the site as a whole is concerned though - we just have to fit this in somewhere!! Brilliant!!
