Pathfinder Fifth Element

2013, Compared to their debut, FIFTH ELEMENT starts to shift gears melodically away from orchestration to rely on more melodic input from Karol Mania and Gunsen on guitars. But that doesn't mean there aren't tasteful symphonic/orchestration moments. But Karol and Gunsen don't stop there. They show a more balanced approach to limited melodic moments, to full blown out solos in practically every song. However, the balance of their playing doesn't isolate the other band mates, and focus on them and only them per se. But if we do compare BEYOND THE SPACE, BEYOND THE TIME AND FIFTH ELEMENT we do see improvement from Karol and Gunsen. So they deserve the improvement award without a doubt. Ultimately, what makes the FIFTH ELEMENT so great is the balance of power. The album presents a combination of well-executed guitars, electronic keyboard solos, orchestrations, and the ever evolving vocal trends that are portrayed by their ever-so talented singer, Szymon Kostro.
