Already nearly 25 years since the Swiss of the progressive rock band 'Galaad' had not released an album and fans of the 90s are now happy with this unexpected new album 'Frat3R'. We find again this particular atmosphere of a French progressive perpetrated since the 70s by 'Ange' (see their latest album 'Heureux' here) with this subtle mix between the strength of the lyrics of 'Pierre-Yves Theurillat' and the powerful rock melodies that hang immediately and where guitars and keyboards offer us majestic instrumental sections. From the beginning, with 'La machine', all the ingredients are there to embark on a small cloud between tension and relaxation with a first fusion between the guitar of 'Sébastien Froidevaux' and the singing of 'PYT'. After the short instrumental 'Moloch' which highlights the keyboards of 'Gianni Giardello', 'Kim' brings us back to a melody close to 'Decamps' ones, with the voice of 'PYT' which gets closer to that of the ‘Franc-Comtois’. With 'Stone', we hold the major title of the album which with its 9 minutes unfolds in a fabulous crescendo its slow melody. The following scrolls the energetic 'Justice' then the rhythm 'Thank you (puR)', 'Encore' and its first part powerful and fast serving as very good support for a new sharp criticism of our society, the album ending by 'Frater' with his last strong message. In summary, he Swiss of 'Galaad' come back beautifully more than 20 years after 'Vae Victis' on the front of the stage and 'Frat3R' should, beyond the historical fans, reach a public loving progressive rock Francophone... | |
