As recently announced, Osada Vida, one of the most interesting Polish bands on the prog-metal scene, return with a brand new album. ?Particles? will be their first release after the line-up change in 2012, when Marek Majewski joined the band as their new  vocalist.

Front cover illustration of ?Particles? was done by the band?s keyboardist Rafał Paluszek. ?It took us a long time before we figured out how to approach the subject of the front cover. We decided to make it minimalist and simple. Frankly, we had enough of excessively elaborate, gloomy imagery which you can see everywhere. Who said rock music goes only with gloomy artwork? As usual, we decided to go against the dominating trend. And I think it's for the best because there's a lot of light and space in those graphics, and there's also a couple of symbols whose meaning we leave for our listeners to interpret. We really wanted to show all the changes we've gone through. We've become a quintet and our music keeps evolving. A lot has changed since the release of ?Uninvited Dreams? in 2009. Osada's somewhere else now, though the most important things and values remain, fortunately. I hope you'll hear all the things I'm talking about when you listen to our album.? ? says Rafał.

?Particles? will be released by Metal Mind Productions on March, 25th in Europe and April, 9th in USA (via MVD). Full details to be announced soon.
