Hello our friends,
here is some info about our band:
PERSONA GRATA - progressive rock group from Slovakia - influenced by groups such as Yes, Queen, Dream Theater and contemporary Muse, the band developed a sound that
is a natural evolution of all the above
inspirations together with emphasis on melody and complex rhythms.
After
short but creative break, Persona is back with the new band members. Musicians
are currently preparing new album and plan to release it at the beginning of
2014. Brand new song & video Forevermore - give some insigts into the band's new
vibe and demonstrates skills of new mates: http://peterluha.com/" rel="nofollow - Matej Miklos

At the same time, Persona Grata is releasing completely remixed and remastered
debut album Reaching Places High Above. Despite
being Persona’s first officially recorded album, it managed to establish a
position of the band as one of the best progrock projects in this part of Europe. „This album is
something that everybody who listens to Progressive Rock or Progressive Metal
on any scale should listen to, hands down (…). In a scene where there are
numerous clones and rehashes, this album is a breath of fresh air.”- Prog Sphere

Previously
recorded demo version of RPHA was very well received by the critics and
progrock community. „We however, never
felt that this album was officially finished. We were constantly working on it,
adding layers, changing sounds and playing with it, at the same time being
happy that this piece received so many positive reviews. The only thing that
RPHA was missing was the professional mix, which would bring out all the sounds
at the same time creating synergy with all the arrangements.“ explain Ján Steno (drums) and Martin
Stavrovský (vocals).
The concept album consists of 50
minutes of material. „Especially worth
mentioning is the instrumental trilogy Orient Express, describing an unbelievable journey
from a marketplace in Istanbul - one of the most significant cities in history
- to Venice - place once known as the ‘Queen of Adriatic’,“ describes Timo Stries (bass
guitar).
