Band In The Pit

Back in 2010, it was just a music documentary about a guitarist and a drummer.
Then the two left the pictures behind so that together they could create a unique world of their music. Finally, they grew into a trio just to firm their vision into a final form.
If you put all the different music styles as towns onto a map, then the Band In The Pit, this drummer-bass-guitar trio could mean that dusty motel right next to the highway between unknown cities.
First, you might think it's some kinda stoner rock, but take a closer look you'll find out that it points the way beyond the stoners' territory.
Their long instrumental songs are might build up from manically repeated circle themes while reaching back and forth between start and end till there's nothing left.
They won't try to follow the regular verse-verse-ref-verse composition. Szabolcs Késmárky's guitar play shows more connection with the hill country blues than with the so-called heavy riffs.
The fractured sound that's coming through the pedals is far from the chokingly heavy air of the swamps of Louisiana but reflects the contour lines of that soft dust that burnt on the amplifier's cathode tube.
You put all this on the Norman Prókai and Vilmos Schneider rhythm section created groove centric frame, and thanks to its repetitive nature you have the feeling to move.
And finally, after a ten, fifteen minutes long balancing it suddenly breaks its orbit, reaches the ground, collapses the world you know before, and releases hell from all corners of the stage. For the last couple of minutes, we leave the stoner vision behind and step into an unknown territory of psychedelic rock.
And then it stops.
And you may return to your life.
