THREE SEATS BEHIND A TRIANGLE

Osada Vida is a polish prog metal band who realy took wings in this genre with this album from 2005 named Three sits behind a triangle, the third material of the band. The music is elaborated with very strong passages and smooth and awesome interplays between keys and guitars. They are similar in manner of composing and interpretation with Pain of Salvation and Fragile Vastness, more on vocal parts and drumming, the keys are more toward symphonic zone, but truly amazing. The album is divided in three parts. I'm very impressed by the keyboard player Rafal Paluszek, very strong musician who knows how to use this instrument to creat something of a high class prog, excellent are the passages and arangements on :Pictures From Inside (Part II) - Unlimited Mind - awesome prog metal piece - here Paluszek truly shines, he can fight sholder to sholder with any keyboard player from prog metal field, because is realy a talented musician. Also on some pieces he uses mellotron or hammond and again did a great job . So this album desearve attention by any prog metal listner, Osada Vida become a solid name in prog metal zone from today, and with a little hope they even aspire to the front sits very soon. All in all a great prog metal album who desearve a better view by anyone not only for those who care about metal with prog combinations. Every piece has something to offer and the whole concept is great. I will give 4 stars without hesitation, one of the greates prog metal albums in last 5 years, and the next album is even better, so only good news about this awesome polish band. My CD is in digipack format, so another reason besides music to get this one very quickly. Recommended
