Wayd
Again a central European country (in this case Slovakia)
comes up with a band doing something different.
On
Ghostwalk, the band's fourth album, Wayd displays
a kind of progressive death metal with some jazz overtones
(notably some nice sax work, as well as the occasional
lounge-y interlude).
The classic names like
Cynic
and
Atheist
are frequently brought up when describing this kind of band --
to these ears, Wayd isn't as accomplished as those two,
nor are they really much of a soundalike to either, but they
do retain some of the interesting experimentalism that those
two pioneers demonstrated.
The bizarre remix of "Second Sunrise" that closes the album
is certainly strange, driven by an almost tribal drum rhythm
and some goofy guitar work, not for everyone's taste for sure
but it's a nice add-on, again showing the band's willingness
to experiment.
Like seemingly every band from Slovakia or the Czech Republic,
Wayd takes some getting used to, and they aren't for those into
a more straightfoward style, but otherwise they're quite interesting.
