LATEST UPDATE
NEW BAK WEBSITE AND BRAND NEW 4 TRACK EP RELEASE – ‘PAINTER’
WITH FREE SONG DOWNLOAD!!

Since the release of our debut album, ‘Sculpture’, we have continued to explore the boundaries of progressive rock, and the result is our brand new EP, ‘Painter’.
We were wrapped in all the great feedback received from around the world for ‘Sculpture’ and we hope that you agree, that ‘Painter’ has allowed us to explore and expand our musical dimension with a unique fusion of eastern scales, authentic instrumentation and symphonic arrangements within a framework of Rock.
The four tracks are also accompanied by individual videos.

We have also created a brand new website where you can see all things BaK and wander around BaKlandia. (BaK (http://www.bakmusic.com))

As a thank you for all your support, we would like to present a free single track download of one of our songs (‘Creation’) from the new EP.

Visit BaKlandia to have some fun and download the track.
