Magyar Posse - Whirlpool of Terror and Tension

What to hell is with these band names? What to hell 'Magyar Posse' is? A Hungarian organisation? Yeah, certainly it sounds like that: 'Magyar' means 'Hungarian'. But what hides behind this name has nothing to do with country known best from ridiculously complex language. The whole name is probably a brand of white wine (Hungarian, of course), that inspired five young Fins to start their band. Well, maybe not literally, but there is no better explanation than this.

This is another veteran band. Before Magyar Posse there was Carlos: it's predecessor, which was found in 1997. So, after twelve years of activity, we can hear... three albums made by this band. That's right - only three albums, because Fins love to work and work and work over new songs till they reach the perfection. Being really capable of doing it everytime is a big deal, even with plenty of time to work things out - so I won't be angry with them and their laziness.

Quality over quantity, ladies and gentleman: very first video for this band has won three big music prizes in Finland, along with People's Choice Award. Simple in concept, yet marvellous at execution, it's a little masterpiece of animation. Year 2009 is the third one since Magyar Posse released last album; I'm waiting for more, soon!
