Refestramus is a progressive hard rock band from Chicago, IL. Their debut album combines influences from traditional gypsy, flamenco and slavic styles with modern hard rock.
I listened to their first LP until the grooves were just about worn off the record. This lives up to the standard set by that record, for sure. I'm looking forward to many, many listens of this! Refestramus
Absolutely love the song "Black Swan" on this album! Will be listening to the rest shortly - but completely hooked on this song at the moment. Refestramus
Every track shows the tremendous talents of all four members. What makes this album so good to me is each song has its own groove and the songs are the kind that make you want to sing along. This album for me is the modern day AC/DC "Back in Black or Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction. An instant classic. You guys Rock!!! axeslinger2
Roaring space rock from this London group, with every instrument turned up to 10, and all of the songs reaching stunning crescendos. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 9, 2019
