Biography

There are several bands using this name:

1) Galahad is one of the major names amongst the British Neo Prog scene. Galahad was formed in 1985 in Dorset, England as a seven-piece progressive rock band. In 1987, they released both a cassette-only live album and a single. Their music blends melodic moods and with heavier parts and the strong vocals are a trademark, over an orchestrated instrumental. The medieval themes are constant on their lyrics. Their latest album “Empires Never Last” propel them squarely in to the power prog arena similar to Yes, IQ, Pallas and Marillion.

2) Galahad is an upcoming band from Trenton Ontario, Canada.

They have just released a 5 song EP named “Lady of the Lake”.

They are a melodic death metal band with influences ranging from: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Amon Amarth, Death, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Dream Theater, etc.

3) Galahad is also a German folkrock/medieval band. The English biography from their website:

“It seems to be not easy to describe Galahad´s music with only a few words.

Elements of rock, mediaeval and classical music as well as a little bit of celtic mystic create an individual style of music. This versatility is also shown by using various and different instrumentation.

A high number of events in Germany (e.g. “Newcomer of the Year” 1987, WDR / West-German-Broadcast– Folk-Award, TV-appearance) and the neighbouring foreign countries took Galahad to a plenty of indoor- and open-air-concerts and festivals (e.g. “Little Woodstock”, “Euro-Folk-Festival” and many more).

    Сказать о группе, что она играет хорошо, значит ничего не сказать. Эта команда , на мой взгляд , далеко опередила остальных участников раздела нео-прогрессива. И имя Нео здесь совершенно оправдано, как символ прорыва из Матрицы (даже прогрессивного) рокового звучания. Создание новой реальности звука под силу только людям отмеченным божественной искрой. Такими были и останутся Ес, ПинкФлоид, КингКримсон... Поражает композиционная интуитивность композиций Галахада: главная тема в увертюре, медленное развертывание проигрыша, и искрометное развертывание импровизаций главной темы. И полное отсутствие цитат, в любом виде! Так называемые ремиксы мелодий, хорошо знакомые нам по презентациям других групп, в этой команде сливается в одну четко доработанную композицию, вызывающую восторг у гурмана. Это только композиционное оформление блюда. А о вкусе ингридиентов судить Вам. Для меня приготовленное оказалось очень вкусным. Рекоммендую!
