The band Maze Of Sound was created in 2012 and recorded its “Man in the balloon” EP in January 2013. On 7th November 2014, “Sunray” album of Maze Of Sound was released. It includes 9 pieces of melodious rock and progressive / alternative / indie rock. Their stories take us to the world where fantasy collides with reality. Materializing characters of particular compositions, we meet Rain Charmer, Mysterious Witch, fly a dangerous balloon or cross the mirror … Perhaps, some of us will find the way out of this maze of adventures, but others will stay for long …
Maze Of Sound’s concerts are very special. During live performance, we try to present so-called “rock theatre”. We use special clothes, masks and gadgets in order to make our concert more attractive. Fantastic Peter Gabriel, Genesis or Marillion are some of our inspirations, but we want to show our own style, sound and idea of Maze Of Sound. We pay a lot of attention to make our concerts something more than only a gig. We guarantee 100% of 2 hours live rock and theatre show.
