Album "Kabyokh" at Progarchieves.com

​

Album "Kabyokh" got 4 of 5 from Kev Rowland, one of the experts of ProgArchieves.com and author of the book "The Progressive Underground".

​

"I have been fortunate enough to hear a great deal of Russian progressive rock music over the years and yet again Shalash Band demonstrate it is possible to have fun and produce prog which is totally accessible yet still driving forward. One never knows the path they are going to take but know it is going to be a fun ride wherever they lead", - concludes Kev in his review.

Album "Kabyokh" at Progarchieves.com

​

Album "Kabyokh" got 4 of 5 from Sebastian (Kempokid), one of the experts of ProgArchieves.com.

​

"Despite overall having enjoyed what Shalash band had put out with their 2018 self-titled album, with the way it fused elements of progressive electronic in with its more simplistic, melodic instrumental prog sound, I still did find it to be appealing more in the sense of it being an intriguing blueprint that could lead to greater results in the future if the potential had been fulfilled. Glad to say that even though this ends up going in a pretty different direction to what I expected, it nonetheless sounds like a really engaging evolution of what was done well with the band's debut, being able to bring a set of more varied, complex compositions to the table while still undoubtedly leaning into their more immediately ear-grabbing, melodic edge that gave the debut a lot of its flavour", - notices Sebastian in his review.

Album "Kabyokh" at DisAgreement.net

​

Album "Kabyokh got positive review from Pascal Thiel, the chief editor of DisAgreement.net, e-zine from Luxembourg.

 

"My first impression of Kabyokh was a certain indecisiveness. Although it was still Shalash Band, it sounded like a whole band getting together. But no, it’s still Maxim Smirnov on drums and percussion, and Dmitry Karavaev on keyboards but this time also on wind controller, which is a midi-controlled wind instrument that lets the player choose all kinds of different sounds. So we get trumpet, trombone, saxophone…".
