Nemezis is a new Polish five piece band that delivers
wonderful neo-prog on her eponymous debut-CD: from mellow
with twanging guitars, soaring synthesizers and warm female
vocals to compelling and bombastic with varied keyboards
and beautiful, often Steve Rothery-like guitarwork (many
times he carried me away to Marillion’s Fish era). My highlights
are the moving guitar solo in Unknown Tomorrow, the exciting
interplay between a church-organ sound, guitar and drums
in With No Return, a spectacular synthesizer solo in Somewhere
In Time and the long final piece The End (more than 12 minutes)
that succeeds to generate a lot of excitement: a dreamy
intro with warm vocals, piano and soarin gkeyboards, a wonderful
part with intense orchestral keyboards, beautiful piano
with longing vocals, sensitive guitarplay in a slow rhythm,
a mid-tempo with propulsive drums, a long and harder-edged
guitar solo (like Steve Rothery at his pinnacle) and a quite
mellow conclusion with piano and again that excellent female
voice.
So it goes on and on with those strong new Polish progrock
bands (from Riverside to Osada Vida) and now we have Nemezis,
highly recommended, especially to the neo-prog fans!
