Amarok - Hope (2024)

The seventh album from this band from Poland.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of gongs, drums, percussion, bass, guitars, violin, cello, keyboards and vocals.

I have followed this band with interest for the last years and albums. This band is one of the better and highest rated bands in the art-rock and progressive rock scene in Poland.

The music is a mix of art-rock and neo-prog. There are also a lot of electronica here which gives the music a futuristic sound.

The music is mid-tempo and pretty melancholic. Neo-prog from Poland has always been melancholic. Amarok's music on this album is following in this tradition.

The vocals is good and the music is pretty catchy at times. The electronica elements is adding another dimention to their music.

The result is an hour with very good music. This is an album who more than confirm how good this band and the art-rock and progressive rock scene in Poland is.

Check it out.
