Omega is problably not a well known band to you. It wasn't for me
either, until I bought "Blue Syndicate" by the Hungerian guitarist Tamás
Szekeres. I loved his style from the first moment I heard it, and then
somone told me that he played in a band called Omega. I quickly found
"Transcendent" and realize I had to get this one too. One of the
vocalists, Edwin Balogh, appeared on "Blue Syndicate" as well, and I had
already become really fond of his voice. I was soon about to hear him in
a quite as good achievement. It's his voice that 's most heard on
"Transcendent", as far as I know. I don't even have a picture of how
János sounds like.
Think of original rock music, with minor penta riffs and a copy of Rod
Stewarts voice by the microphone. Then add some progressive atmospheres
and you've got Omega. On this album they have a little tendency to get
stuck in the slow motion mode though, since there's really only one fast
song, "Tower of Babel". That doesn't make he album bad, but "Tower of
Babel" quickly became my favourite track. Others are track 2, 3, 4, 6
and 9. They're all really good actually, but I guess those are the best.
