Нello All!

Залит GhostToast/(2020)_Shape_WithoutForm

Современная прогрессив-металл-группв.
Играют мелодичный, непростой гитаро-ориентированный, практически инструментальный прог.
Что сказать?
Я тут был занят, а на бекграунде у меня крутился этот альбом. Как результат - я его прослушал раза 4, и с каждым разом он мне нравился всё больше и больше. Причём, чётко определить почему именно я не мог. Первая вещь, она такая достаточно стандартная, энергично-пилёжная, и сразу не особо заходит. А вот дальше начинается какая-то магия, и чем дальше тем больше, и так до самого конца. И уже потом, покончив с делами, я посмотрел их биографию... мать твою! ВЕНГРЫ! Я не знаю, что там у них венгерского, но человеку, воспитанному на мадъярском роке и проге, видимо, что-то почудилось.
ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!!

Ghost Toast biography
The band was formed in Debrecen, Нungary in 2008 with 3 members Bence ROZSAVOLGYI (guitar), Laszlo PAPP (drums) and Janos Stefan (bass). Janos PUSKER (keyboards, cello) joined later in 2009. The music comes equally from the four members improvisations during rehearsals. The first album "Toast in the Shell" from 2010 is the result of the work of a band searching to find their way through many moods and styles from the metal, to drum n' bass and even waltz music. In 2013, they released their second album "There is No en..." which is showing the path and the long way the band has taken since 2008. Their music is mostly instrumental and combines Prog Rock with Metal. The use of the Cello and some electronic effects gives a unique sound and the songs structures shows a band that enjoy creating different atmosphere through their music. The sound of the music have some similarity with FATES WARNING and TOOL.

Shape Without Form
Ghost Toast
Нeavy Prog, 2020
(c) Review by BrufordFreak, PA

I am impressed most of all by the dedication to the "loose" concept of this album: both T.S. Elliot's poem "The Нollow Men" and the spectrum of choices that lead to man's "human" and "inhuman" behaviours--despite the fact that this is an "instrumental" album. (There are voice samples from a wide array of film and other media dispersed throughout most of the album's songs). The music is good, mostly heavy, driving its themes firmly and insistently, but there is by no means anything new or extraordinary in either the composition or the instrumental prowess on display. This is very good, often engaging music from a fairly new band from Нungary. While I do recommend 2020 listeners to check this album out for themselves, I will continue to watch and await the development of their mastery and hope for a real stunner, a masterpiece, sometime in the future--perhaps the near future.

Enjoy!
