Bridge To Solace


As you can read below after the split up of Newborn the members keep on playing in other bands. Zoli Jakab (former Newborn frontman) foundated BTS which become the most successful hungarian metalcore band.

Actually to categorize BTS as metalcore is a bit untrue. Technically they use both hardcore and metal elements but the result differ from stereotyped metalcore. They keep the agression and the dynamics of hardcore and add the non-primitive riffs of metal (mostly deathmetal).

Current lineup is Adam Fellegi(drums), Péter Kámán(guitars), Bálint Szollár(guitars), László Sztojka(bass) and Zoltán Jakab(vocals).

Their first release was Of Bitterness and Hope in 2003. It's hardly 30 minutes long but if it's not the best hungarian album then it must be the most energetic. Drifting tempo and heavy metal riffs influenced by the göteborg-deathmetal scene.

We had to wait until 2006 for the next album: Where Nightmares and Dreams Unite. The music become heavier and no more melodic-singing. The songs are monumental but not pathetic and the most boring song is still more interesting than any As I Lay Dying recordings.

And as we can read on their myspace the next release (House of the Dying Sun) will be in stores on 13th Feb.
