Payne's Grey were a very talented and unlucky german prog metal band.They released only two albums: a mini cd called infinity in 1991 (re-released in 2000) and kadath decoded in 1995.Kadath decoded is a concept album based off on the dream quest of unknown kadath by hp lovecraft.The album is outstanding and capture the mood and the atmosphere of the lovecraftian's writings very well.The album is perfectly balanced and very original,sometimes it reminds me some early shadow gallery (there is even a flute player here).
This is track 11,riding the Shantak.This track is instrumental.
Seems to me there's some definite Hackett-isms going on here... solo Hackett at his heaviest... the rapid guitar figure (in harmony) at 2:00 is similar to ...(??) the end of Time To Get Out, I think (something from Defector at any rate). Still this music is quite original. Good stuff.
