SKØV is a Polish punk metal band from Wrocław, formed in 2017. Someone said that we play like razors, jump like kangaroos and we are murderous, precise whelps who play with fucking anger.
Band have just released video to the new song ‘Above The Earth’.
This track was recorded at Nebula Studio (The Materia, Gorycz, Tides From Nebula) in Warsaw (PL) and mixed&mastered by Mateusz Bajan.
Band commentary: ‘The song was inspired by a scandal from a few years ago regarding the discovery of mass graves of children of indigenous people in Canada. Ultimately, we used this theme as a symbol of the many harms that the institution of the church has done to local cultures around the world, taking their identities and destroying their original systems of beliefs and values. The track is the first in a series of singles we plan to release in the coming months.’
INTO DARK is a Polish black metal band formed in 2016, in own way experimenting with modern form of the genre, deeply rooting itself in atmosphere of nostalgia, disease and horror.
After 6 years of silence band is going to release new EP. Music was recorded, mixed and mastered by Przemysław Nowak at Impressive-Art Studio (Asgaard, Odraza, Outre, Devilish Impressions). Cover artwork was done by Piotr Kiełb. EP titled ‘I, Glance’ will be released digitally and on CD May 26, 2023. Pre-order will be available soon at Bandcamp.
Band commentary: ‘With our music on this EP, we were trying to catch Glance on state of darkness wrapped in depression, anger and somber lights of upcoming dawn.‘
Cursebinder are hailing from Krakow, Poland and they are another testament of Polish extreme underground music scene vastness and greatness with so many excellent bands coming from that mighty country. The band was formed in 2019 and this is their debut opus and it contains eight songs. Music of Cursebinder can be simply described as black metal but it is so much more. Coldness is definitely there with black metal guitar riffs and blast beats being delivered here and there to crush your meat from the bones. Vocals are bordering somewhere between black metal and death metal growls. Opener ‘Affected by Panic’ is example how this band easily shifts from aggressive total all out war black metal parts to more psychedelic and spacy cold post metal ambient guitar parts and tempo changes from blast beat war to a bit of groove and post rock. My personal favorites on this album are ‘Drifting’ the mighty title track with slower start and almost sludge parts and doom metal influenced parts, and also ‘Becoming’ with eerie and almost horror like atmosphere. So, if you like technical abilities, brutality and prowess of Behemoth and Mgla, combined with occasional melody, melancholy, post metal, atmospheric coldness of space and void, go try this band’s opus. I assure you that you will not regret it.
