Hydra This Famous Unknown CD

Hydra is a current band from the French Alps, that plays very Nineties-like Progressive heavy-metal. It's first album "Rock Experience" (1996) really had the right-suited title, as the styles that were visited during these eleven tracks proved to be much more varied as first expected. On top of a perfectly mastered duality between Progressive rock and AOR, it is noteworthy that exciting escapades towards jazz-tinted soul music are there to be heard ! There is no doubt that DREAM THEATER, QUEENSRYCHE or MAGELLAN lovers will be delighted. Last but not least, the instrumental quality serves perfectly the richness and the inventiveness of the compositions. All in all, this represents one of the most reliable hopes of the Brennus label for the future. Strangely enough, that is Musea Parall?le that eventually took the band again some eight years after it's first album ! Goodbye to heavy-metal influences, this unexpected renaissance takes place as an acoustic duet featuring the vocalist S?bast.
