The Spanish band,
Pyramidal are back with another limited edition release in only 250
copies. They are probably my favourite
band from Spain so I always am excited to hear the next one. Anyway, Visions of
an Astral Journey starts this record off and you might have heard an early
version if you have the bands Live from the Psychedelic Network release. IT starts smoothly with some nice sax the
melts in with the spacey guitar and after about a minute, the rhythm changes
with a harder guitar as one plays the riff and one the wah guitar. Later the
track does King Crimson with some complex changes, wild sax and intense parts.
Fantastic track with so many cool parts. Creatures of the Ancient World starts
a lot like the last track and has many similarities at the start and then a
sort of middle eastern dreamy section with some vocals takes you on a trip
across the desert sands before you crash into the palm tree and get blasted
back into the space rock with some great guitar playing. Another track to just
get lost in. Great build up at the end.
The 3rd track starts with a riff like from
Deep Space Riders and then goes into a quite heavy section a lot like Assassins
of Allah by Hawkwind but then the band goes into their own direction with an
almost Spanish acoustic guitar and then back to the sort of complex rhythms
after a great guitar solo section. The 4th and last track, Alussa
Infinity is one of the bands heaviest track and features some quite shouty
vocals, like nothing to ever appear before on one of their records. Don’t be
fooled though as the track goes into a long melodic section til the end. Intense
stuff and another fantastic record. I would love to see them live again.
Portugal is not that far away. Please come play guys. This will for sure be one
of my fave records this year.
