Piramis 2. by Piramis - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Most fans of the Hungarian hard-prog quintet Piramis cite the band’s 1978 sophomore album as their all-time favorite. And from the opening song, it’s easy to understand why. Gallai Péter’s analog keyboard tones are noticeably more exaggerated from the first verse of “Gyere Közelebb.” On top of this, Köves Miklós plays much heavier drum parts than anything on the preceding album, while guitarist Závodi János shows more strength and versatility as he effortlessly segues between hearty riff-rock and more nimbly picked leads that are ideal for following progressive rock’s sinewy arrangements. With hard-stomping, bellbottomed riffs, “Másnap Olyan Hatalmas Lett a Világ” displays an even more muscled approach to Piramis’ Eastern European take on prog rock. It’s as if the band had collectively listened to the first two Yes albums on its debut album and then got turned onto Deep Purple and Status Quo before rolling tape on these recordings. By “Mikor Megszülettem,” things simmer down and sprawl out, giving Péter plenty of room to interweave his keyboard wizardry in and out of János’ wailing guitar leads.
