REACHING PLACES HIGH ABOVE

Slovakian band PERSONA GRATA can trace their history back to 1999, and has been around for a good number of years without releasing any material officially. "Reaching Places High Above" is their first official full length production, and was self released in 2013.

Fairly intricate and quirky music, at least from a structural point of view, defines Persona Grata's debut album "Reaching Places High Above". In terms of style the band tends to navigate between vintage inspired progressive rock and progressive metal, exploring both of these expressions as well as combining them, but with a stylistic identity arguably closest to the UK band Muse and their brand of alternative rock-oriented progressive rock. And I suspect those with a soft spot for this latter band are a likely key audience for this production.
