Yes - another fine progressive rock band from Poland (Katowice). They certainly keep churning them out!  
From http://www.lynxmusic.pl/index.php/component/muscol/C/109-corral/235-revenant (with 35-second samples of all songs):

"CORRAL is a melodic rock band. Progressive instrumental elements along with the soft voice of the singer, combine many musical influences such as Moonspell , The Gathering or Riverside . Each individual brings their root to construction works, giving the final shape of the whole .

In addition to vocal songs, bassist Paweł is working on instrumental passages that adorn Myself and Music In My Head - both of these ideas often start gigs of the CORRAL band .
At the end of December 2011,  team finished in the studio working on their new material from the album NEEDS , which included 4 songs . At the end of 2013 the band added another four songs , all of which made up the first album entitled Revenant . Time spent on the recordings, intertwined band concerts and joint meetings, where the team constantly creates new tracks . Recent successes include concert band supporting German group RPWL, which took place in Piekary Śląskie. Past major events is certainly a final nationwide competition Rock Nocą."
