Kat Boxes

09/29/2008
.
(MMP) Metal Mind Productions presents two Kat's albums: "Oddech wymarłych światów" and "38 Minutes Of Life" in a new metalbox edition. Both titles include bonus tracks. The premiere of Kat metal box is set up for 13th October 2008!

KAT - the godfathers of Thrash Metal music in Poland. The band was formed by Piotr Luczyk (guitar) in 1979. Fascination with music of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath shaped the style of the band and after 2 years of searching for a Polish equivalent of David Coverdale, KAT finally found a vocalist - Roman Kostrzewski.

The following two years were a time of evolution for the band's style, which bore all the signs of a revolution on the Polish scene. From a rather conservative hard rock approach the group turned to sounds comparable to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, just to level up the tempo and radicalize their sound, descending into areas which a few years later were to be called thrash metal.

In a short time KAT received a well-deserved acclaim as one of the most spectacular groups in the history of Polish rock. Each of their shows turned into a unique spectacle. After a series of shows on the biggest stages in the country, someone finally came up with the idea to record and release these performances. The album, released in 1987 by Poljazz, was entitled "38 minuts of life". The material for this release was recorded in Katowice's Spodek when Kat performed twice as a support band for Metallica who at that time promoted the album "Master of Puppets". During these shows, Kat revealed a hint of their new material and presented the fans a few songs from their upcoming album. The tracks were greeted more than enthusiastically. The album "Oddech wymarłych światów" laid on the shelf for almost two years and… the band definitely wasn't disappointed by that fact. They patiently waited for their turn. "This was how things worked back then. First you recorded the album and the moment of its release depended on various factors, I mean we were still stuck in communism. I'm very proud of the fact that "Oddech wymarłych światów was released at all." – says the guitarist. "Oddech wymarłych światów" is not without a reason considered by many Kat's opus magnum and one of the most important albums in the history of Polish metal.
