March 25, 2013

KRZAK EXPERIENCE is a project originated in Poland comprised of musicians from the band KRZAK (Blues / Jazz Rock band from the 70s) and musicians from the Metal band SEPSIS. On this new album, there are older compositions of band KRZAK but in a heavier, Metal oriented arrangements.
Each of these 10 songs is different and has something special in stored. "Krzak", is a charming opener, one of my likeables, with heavy and strong riffs and electric violins riding hard, true Hard N' Heavy soloing and bombastic drumming. No doubt about it that this is a killer type of music with various references to APOCALYPTICA or the music of the Polish violinist Michał Jelonek where there are plenty of Metallic angled passages. METALLICA's riffs and oriental violin are on display in the midst of "Oriental Xes", is a display of a spectacular music and a kick-ass production and sound. Listening to "Czakus" seemed like a soundtrack of a recent film. "Extrim" hosts special guest performances of Igor "Iggy" Gwadera (ANTI TUNK NUM) that plays grand guitar solos and on "Rumble -Tumble" there is Darek "Popcorn" Popowicz (ACID DRINKERS) delivers another splendid guitar solo. "Sciepka" is a punchy, energetic track, noticing this lineup's experience. "Kattowitz" is a mere MSG song comprised of with Hard Rock riffs and a fine display of violins. "D'Rocks" is heralding Apocalypse with an impressive tune up of both guitars and violins. "Blue Thunder", a true headbangers, great guitar melodies providing Rockin' attributes of Blues mixed with industrial kind of Metal.
This album of KRZAK EXPERIENCE is a showcase of musicianship, there is no need for lyrics or vocals, just plain music talk. Fans of APOCALYPTICA or harder hitters like TESTAMENT and FEAR FACTORY or mere Blues fanatics.
