HOS 7081 - LC 1941
| Determined to interpret their musical ideas without compromise
and making no concessions to current trents, ARTROSIS was set up in 1995. Answering to resounding
name is a trio composed of Magdalena "Medeah"
Dobosz - Vocals, Maciej Niedzielski -
Keyboards, and Krzysztof "Chris" Bialas -
Guitars. After the band had established a formidable reputation for themselves as a live act, which extended way beyond the boarders of their native Poland, the media and various record labels began tzo take notice of ARTROSIS. In the autum of 1997, the trio came to HALL OF SERMON and a short time later found themselves in the recording studio. ARTROSIS, whose name is a symbolic blending of art and roses, have their own distinctive style that may be classified as a synthesis of extravagant Dark Wave, athmospheric Goth Rock and bloody Metal, which is brought to perfection primarily by the charismatic voice of Medeah. |

| Macjej Niedzielski, the man responsible for all the keyboard instruments, and guitarist Krzysztof Bialas are clearly very experienced musicans technically, with a superb instinct for catchy melodies and powerfully expressive arrangements. Each of the ten songs on the album has its own unmistakable, somewhat unconventional, personal character, from which the listener finds it extremely difficult to free himself. Medeahshows her courage and love of powerful, expressive lyrics by singing five of the titles in her mother tongue. The switching between Polish and English is an interesting device, adding a new dimension to the album for the listener who is generally used to the lyrics being sung in either English and German. |

| "HIDDEN DIMENSION" is a fascinating album with its many-facetted songs swaying gently, despite their hard-hitting impact, in harmony and romantic sentiment. A pot-pouri of emotions takes one on a wistful journey through a hidden dimension. |
