Description/Reviews: 

Osada Vida, one of the most interesting Polish bands on the prog-metal scene, return with a brand new album. " The After-Effect " is their first release after the line-up change in early 2014, when Jan Mitoraj and Marek Romanowski joined the band. Their highly acclaimed previous album "Particles" made the band work even harder on the follow-up material. Łukasz Lisiak comments on the changes and their impact on the new album: "I think, the new album is a continuation of a certain road, the album 'Particles' being its last stop. Certainly, the approach to composing used on the album 'Particles' was also used while writing songs for the new album - the structure of songs is more simple, as we were trying to avoid excessive complexity. We are using Marek Majewski's talent as much as possible, so finally we no longer have to hide or shorten the vocal parts. At the same time, however, we are still amusing ourselves with all those little twisted, very atmospheric parts known from our previous releases.” The new album brings surprises. One of them is a guest appearance of a string quartet.

Description/Reviews

With "Particles" Osada Vida acquired a new breath. New singer, new energy and new ideas came out good for the band. The album is diverse and "other" in relation to what the musicians have presented so far. Nevertheless, one can hear that it's the same band.
