THE AFTER-EFFECT

Polish band OSADA VIDA is closing in on a 20-year long history as a band, and for the greater part of their career they established a reputation as a talented and promising progressive metal oriented outfit. The last few years have seen the band change however, both in terms of personnel and line-up. This is a transition that continues on their seventh studio album "The After Effect", which was released by the Polish label Metal Mind Productions in 2014.

Osada Vida as of 2014 is a band that is quickly transforming into an adventurous, well developed band that is willing and able to cover a multitude of stylistic ground within and arguably at times outside of the progressive rock universe as well. Their blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation in a progressive rock context is easy to enjoy, compelling, well developed and sophisticated, the inclusions of jazz-oriented sequences functioning at least, as well as their inclusion of progressive metal related details. A strong production by a skilled band exploring a distinctly contemporary and well developed variety of progressive rock.
