ASTRAL PHASE

Anvision from Poland is another one of the young bands from this country who manage to gain some reputation with their first full lenght release from 2012 named Astral phase. I think that Poland is one of the most prolific countries in last 2 decades from Europe when comes to progressive rock, specially neo/prog metal scene. Every year appears more and more bands, some of them realy good. Anvision is for sure a very promissing band in this realm. They play a type of prog metal combined with neo prog flavour or vice versa, something between Riverside or Osada Vida with Kinght Area atmosphere. There are some heavy riffs but are very well integrated in the melodic parts of the music with nice elaborated passages and good musicianship. All tunes are more then ok, no really highlits here, maybe Mental Suicide or the ending longest track I Have No Fear are among intresting ones. All in all good debut from this polish band, definetly I'll have an eye on their music on the future, nice intresting art work. 3 stars , maybe 3,5 in places.
