Another great band from
Eastern Europe, this time from Poland. Votum is a quite interesting reality of
the late 2000’s. They have started a bit heavier than what shown on this
particular album (Metafiction), but those who will have the chance to get this
CD will understand the reason why I am happy they have changed their style into
a more progressive way. Their first album was very normal (nothing to add to
prog scenario), but this Metafiction work, which by the way was made under
Mystic Records that must receive lots of compliments since they are doing an
excellent work promoting bands from that part of Europe, has something more.
Great music and amazing lyrics to bind the entire album, creating a melancholy
atmosphere that leads listeners into a more committed hearing session. I
wouldn’t go as far as some of my friends who compared Votum to Porcupine Tree
or Riverside (a fantastic Eastern Prog Band), but if you are listening Votum
for the first time you might experience that sensation as well.
