SYMBIOSIS

Vestal is the band taken the name from the main man of the band, the only member of the band Thomas Vestal, who release Symbiosis in 2009. A well rounded and full of intristing progrssive rock chops and symphonic arrangementsthis self title album has. The album is all instrumental, with good passages, mainly keyboard orientated but aswell some guitar parts interluded very well when needed. Is impressive to see such unknown musician handleing all instruments from this album, the result is a quite a pleasent journey in prog rock realm. All i all a good debute album by this american, nothing really groundbreaking, but well done, well played, pleasent on all pieces, what else a a good release, without weak points. The best pieces are the longest one Methamorphosis, nearly 15 min of great musicianship and good ideas and the opening track Stae of flux, with solid bas lines and solid guitars. I will give 3-3.5 for this album, a worthy one if you listen to prog rock.
