PILGRIMAGE

One-shot Czech extreme-metal quartet was disbanded soon after their debut was released. With their roots in doom metal, for this recordings they transformed their music to quite interesting direction: quite traditional for genre twin soloing guitars and growling vocals were combined with quite complex compositions structures and many jazzy elements.

Music didn't become more lightweight because of that, but many rhythm breakages, jazzy ,sometimes almost acoustic elements in between of compositions, interesting tunes and even some improvisational moments really made all music much more various and attractive.

Not seriously original or excellent to be mentioned as masterpiece, but really obscure and interesting release, worth attention from prog metal fans, bored from stereotypic sound of too many classic extreme metal bands. Main problem for potential listener will possible be where to find this rare release.

My rating is 3+.
