Sceptic is the only Polish band on my list, and I think they're the only Polish band I know. I'm not a huge fan of thrash metal generally, but the technical skills of this band along with some of the wide interval, death metal-ish melodies in the guitar, the driving feel and the unusually warm sound combine to make them a really enjoyable listen.
I was actually looking for a different song, but this one will do. I'm a sucker for cheap tricks like a break where the drums cut out for a bar (or 2) on such a driving tune like they do at 0:43 setting up the vocals. Same deal with the mellow bass solo section at 2:26 followed by the transitional ascending guitar run into the rock hero solo immediately after.
Fun fact: the vocalist on this recording (not their current vocalist who is the woman pictured above) was an olympic sprinter for Poland in 2000 and 2004!
By the way, I'd love to hear what you think about this or any of the music on my list. It's really interesting to me to hear (read) different perspectives, and maybe a fun dialog can come out of it. Feel free to use the comments below or Facebook to let me know what you think.
I've very much enjoyed listening to these songs you've picked for us. I will say reading your description of the music is more fun though! You write about music like people write about food! You can tell you are very passionate about each group!
ReplyDeleteI think the food analogy for music is a good one. Glad you like the tunes!
