Osada Vida – new album recorded with a string quartet!

Osada Vida, one of the most interesting Polish bands on the rock/metal scene, is in the final stage of working on their fifth studio album. "The After-Effect" is scheduled for release on November, 3rd in Europe and December, 2nd in North America (via MVD).

Their highly acclaimed previous album "Particles" made the band work even harder on the follow-up material. An up-to-date info from the studio is available on the band's facebook profile: www.facebook.com/osadavida

The new album will bring surprises. One of them is a guest appearance of a string quartet. Osada Vida comment: "'The After-Effect' will feature a guest performance by the string quartet of Agnieszka Sawicka, Jakub Kowalski, Anna Krzyżak, and Wojciech Skóra. The recordings were handled by Janek Mitoraj. However, there's no need to worry that the album will turn out excessively poetic or romantic, as the string parts serve rather to infuse the songs with heaviness and incredible energy. So far, it sounds terrific!".

Osada Vida is one of the most interesting Polish bands on the prog-rock/metal scene. Their discography includes three demos and four well received official releases - "Three Seats Behind a Triangle" (2006/2007), "The Body Parts Party" (2008), "Uninvited Dreams" (2009) and "Particles" (2013). Their albums feature elaborately beautiful music in the vein of Yes, Porcupine Tree, Pain Of Salvation and Riverside. In early July, Osada Vida released their first live DVD entitled "Where The Devils Live" featuring the recording of their live appearance at the Wyspianski Theater in Katowice, Poland in Autumn 2011. In 2012 the band debuted in a new improved line-up - they have added a new vocalist Marek Majewski, previously known from the band Acute Mind. In Autumn 2013 the band replaced guitarist Bartek Bereska with young and talented musician – Jan Mitoraj. In Summer 2014 drummer Adam Podzimski left the band and his place was taken by Marek Romanowski.
