Osada Vida, one of the most interesting Polish bands on the rock/metal
scene, still work on their fifth studio album. Their material entitled
"The After-Effect" is scheduled for release on November, 3rd.
Their highly acclaimed previous album "Particles" made the band work
even harder on the follow-up material. In the meantime, the band have
undergone a few line-up changes: Bartek Bereska (guitar) was replaced
by Janek Mitoraj and drummer Adam Podzimski - by Marek Romanowski.
Rafał Paluszek, band's keyboardist comments: "Our new album, just like
it was with 'Particles', is not a concept album. We abandoned that as
a creative method. And when we came up with the title 'The
After-Effect', it was partly as a joke. An after-effect is a
consequence, the result of all that's going on in our lives. Every
album sums up a certain episode in your life. It crowns a certain
creative process, which is, after all, brought about by something, and
which is a lasting phenomenon. We experience certain things, every
event has some influence on what we do. Why shouldn't that apply to
the music we create? In a relatively short period of time, 2/5 of
Osada Vida's lineup has changed. Such changes are like a tsunami -
there are losses, but there's also a reason to build something new,
something we wouldn't dare to build back in the untroubled days. We
don't know what effects today's events will have. Looking at it from a
mathematical perspective, there's an infinite number of paths, each
branching out into an infinite number of paths as well, and so on.
That's what 'The Affter-Effect' is."
