ANGELS AND DEMONS

Algabas is the great prog-rock band from Vladimir, and "Angels and Demons" is the title of their new (and only, as I understand it) album. The group is unusual for Russia - this is not an accompaniment to vocal; it is instrumental rock with a "full vocal elements" and focuses on the music itself. Musicians play skillfully and creatively, lead guitar dominates, keyboards too. Sound is dense and heavy. Russian texts are poetic and smart, Russian vocals are strong and powerful. In short, these are not taken in "Nashe Radio". When they will become more concise musically, perhaps, the higher league of the world progressive rock will be not far from them.
