Guido? Does he (she?) like art-rock?))
Yes, it's really very special band with very interesting music. I like them too much, hope some people here will like them too. 99% of rock and metal bands in post-USSR countries were not original, but Piknik has took its own way and every new album impresses me. That's why they got my respect! This band has jusy only one negative moment - their lyrics is very difficult to translate
Of course I posted them here, because when I created this topic I didn't mean that we will discuss only metal bands here. You may post here all you want! Even R'n'B and Rap
If I got a little time today evening I'll post here something else. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Monday, July 06, 2009 10:58:25 PM)

Very cool Russian Priest,that is very different. I'd bet our forum member "guido" would dig this. That is definately not a band that follows trends,they are different for sure. And you chose the right kind of thread to put this in.
They would belong in this thread where you put this post rather than in the classic heavy metal thread.....great job Russian Priest!!!!

Hello all again! :)
Thanks for some interesting band you posted here! I found several I like very much now. Special thanks to J.D.DIAMOND)))
Today I would like to introduce you with one russian non-heavy band. It's called "Piknik". They plays art-rock with mystical, gothic, symbolysm and phylosophic themes in theirs lyrics since 1979. I think they are the one rock-band in Russia that made something special, original and cannot be compared to anybody around the world. Their music charmes by mysterious atmosphere, specific vocals, folk instruments and special sound effects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piknik
If you like Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane you should listen Piknik as well.
