As recently announced, Osada
Vida, one of the most interesting Polish bands on the prog-metal scene,
return with a brand new album. “Particles” will be their first
release after the line-up change in 2012, when Marek Majewski joined the band as
their new vocalist.
Front cover illustration of
“Particles” was done by the band’s keyboardist Rafał Paluszek.
“It took us a long time before we figured out how to approach the subject of
the front cover. We decided to make it minimalist and simple. Frankly, we had
enough of excessively elaborate, gloomy imagery which you can see everywhere.
Who said rock music goes only with gloomy artwork? As usual, we decided to go
against the dominating trend. And I think it's for the best because there's a
lot of light and space in those graphics, and there's also a couple of symbols
whose meaning we leave for our listeners to interpret. We really wanted to show
all the changes we've gone through. We've become a quintet and our music keeps
evolving. A lot has changed since the release of ‘Uninvited Dreams’ in 2009.
Osada's somewhere else now, though the most important things and values remain,
fortunately. I hope you'll hear all the things I'm talking about when you listen
to our album.” – says Rafał.
“Particles” will be released by
Metal Mind Productions on March, 25th in Europe and
April, 9th in USA (via MVD). Full details to be announced
soon.
Osada Vida is one of the most
interesting Polish bands on the prog-rock scene. Their discography includes
three demos and three well received official releases - “Three Seats Behind a
Triangle” (2006/2007), “The Body Parts Party” (2008), “Uninvited Dreams” (2009).
Their albums feature elaborately beautiful music in the vein of Yes, Porcupine
Tree, Pain Of Salvation and Riverside. In early July, Osada Vida released their
first live DVD entitled “Where The Devils Live” featuring the recording of their
live appearance at the Wyspianski Theater in Katowice, Poland in Autumn 2011.
The band recently debuted in a new improved line-up - they have added a new
vocalist Marek Majewski, previously known from the band Acute Mind. Osada Vida
is also recognized worldwide - they played at the famous US' ROSfest 2011 and at
the beginning of October 2012 they were a part of Israeli ProgStage festival
where they perform next to Andromeda, The Flower Kings or Orphaned Land.
