Pravda is a new generation in Progressive Rock outfit hailing from the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A. The group consisting of veterans of the Austin, Orlando and Northwest music scenes, is realy to take on the musical enclaves of corporate rock, with a bold and invigorating sound, where their sound combines the best of Old & New Progressive Rock with some touchs of Jazz adding the power of Progressive Metal. Pravda is another extraordinary revelation, the band sounds really impressive in a beautifully constructed powerful Progressive Rock, where in some parts they mix Hard Rock, Melodic Metal with Symphonic Rock. They have a combination of musical elements creating innovative, atmospheric and heavy music, all compositions feature a mix among the vocals and lengthy instrumental sections, where certainly you will love all guitars solos, the drums sounds are full of rhythmic evolutions, where all is combined with wonderful sounds from the keyboards. It´s very hard to draw comparison between them and other bands, but Pravda represents an old school approach, with a variety of musical styles in a very professional way, which I can feel influences around "Yes", "Alice Cooper", "Genesis", "Moody Blues", "Kansas" and others. "The Echoing Sounds" ia a stunning debut CD, the album was released by Sonus West Records Northwest Progressive Rock Label, engineered by K.C. Thomsen and Dave Thomas. Including fourteen tracks. There are no special and particular attention to the songs because all them are amazing, there is an interesting history around the lyrics, but to the best reference you will love "Prelude/Expatriate´s Lament", "The Program", "The Echoing Sounds Of Life", "Can You Hear Me", "Saving Your Soul", "Revolution", "Omnipotent Struggle", "For I Am" and "As One", This is one release that must be heard carefully and many times. The musicians on Pravda are: Dave Thomas - Drums, Percussion and Backing Vocals, K.C. Thomsen - Keyboards, Piano, Vocals and Guitar, Tom Svanoe - Four and Five String Fretless Bass, Chris Holman - Lead and Rhythm Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Steve Brown - Lead and Backing Vocals. Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable...

Musically, The Echoing Sounds has some nice touches, re. the pipe organ intro to "The Echoing Sounds of Life," the truly heavy symphonic stomp of "Saving Your Soul" and the Hammond-spiced melodic swing of "Followers." "Omnipotent Struggle" is a cool symphonic instrumental with soaring guitar and synth leads. "Peacemind" possesses a superb radio-friendly melody. John Collinge, Editor Progression Magazine
