Hi! May I present a new, very interesting band from Russia. I've found them in the internet recently. http://whalephant.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - https://whalephant.bandcamp.com/ And the first band's full album: http://whalephant.bandcamp.com/album/kamma " rel="nofollow - https://whalephant.bandcamp.com/album/kamma 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: More videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjVjN0wxszB8zBT6P0zyQtQ" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjVjN0wxszB8zBT6P0zyQtQ . Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whalephantband" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/whalephantband . 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!!
