Yes - another fine progressive rock band from Poland (Katowice). They certainly keep churning them out!  From http://www.lynxmusic.pl/index.php/component/muscol/C/109-corral/235-revenant" rel="nofollow - http://www.lynxmusic.pl/index.php/component/muscol/C/109-corral/235-revenant (with 35-second samples of all songs): "CORRAL is a melodic rock band. Progressive instrumental elements along with the soft voice of the singer, combine many musical influences such as Moonspell , The Gathering or Riverside . Each individual brings their root to construction works, giving the final shape of the whole . In addition to vocal songs, bassist Paweł is working on instrumental passages that adorn Myself and Music In My Head - both of these ideas often start gigs of the CORRAL band . At the end of December 2011, team finished in the studio working on their new material from the album NEEDS , which included 4 songs . At the end of 2013 the band added another four songs , all of which made up the first album entitled Revenant . Time spent on the recordings, intertwined band concerts and joint meetings, where the team constantly creates new tracks . Recent successes include concert band supporting German group RPWL, which took place in Piekary Śląskie. Past major events is certainly a final nationwide competition Rock Nocą."

Last bump for this suggestion - then I'll let it drop.  Corral were featured yesterday evening on 'The Prog Mill' - a weekly two hour prog show on Stafford Radio, aired on a Sunday, and repeated every night of the following week at 10pm UK time. This show focuses on the lighter more melodic side of prog - no metal here - so if you fancy two hours of fine music one evening this week (or whatever time it may be in your particular part of the World) then go to http://staffordradio.com" rel="nofollow - http://staffordradio.com and click the Stafford Radio Rewind arrow. Playlist for this week was: 1. Loonypark - Failed Game (Unbroken Spirit Lives in Us) 2. Millenium - In The World of Fantasy (In the world of fantasy and other rarities) 3. Corral - Are you game (Reverent) 4. Leaving Mercury - In My Dreams (Which Way) 5. Persona Grata - Edge of Insanity (Reaching Places High Above) 6. Logos - In Fuga (L'Enigma Della Vita) 7. Maze of Sound - Reflection (Sunray) 8. Landmarq - Forever Young (origins) 9. RPWL - We Are what We Are (Beyond Man & Time) 10. Abel Ganz - Obselescence Pt IV (The Dream) - (Abel Ganz) 11. Mike Hyder - Craftsman (Craftsman) 12. Glowpeople - Happen (single) 13. Loreena McKennitt - The Old Ways (The Journey So Far) I still think Corral is a band very much worthy of a place in Crossover Prog. |

"Poland", you say? I think it is high time for me to start discovering prog music from my own country.

My friend, Poland is arguably the prog capital of the world!  Have a look through this list: http://www.progarchives.com/bands-country.asp?country=162" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/bands-country.asp?country=162 .  I can highly recommend Abraxas, Albion, Amarok, Believe, Collage, Hipgnosis, Illuzjon, Indukti, Loonypark, Lunatic Soul, Millenium, Moonrise, Nemezis, Quidam, Riverside, SBB, Satellite, Tune, and Turquoise for starters...But there are loads more fine bands on that page that are well worth checking out! Have a look at this thread too (a poll): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86506" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86506 .

State Urge is the one killing me lately! White Rock Experience is a brilliant album ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Not as yet. Crossover is one of our busiest evaluation teams, with currently ten cleared bands/artists awaiting addition. We will have to be patient - Corral will be added sooner or later.

Some bands/artists are waiting 3 months. Evaluation teams need help - how can we do it?

You, and anyone else for that matter, can help by not suggesting every bandcamp artists out there with a 'progressive' tag attached to them ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |
