Percival Schuttenbach - Strzyga

Review by Andrew Mussey

Percival Schuttenbach's latest album, Strzyga, is an impressive showcase of the band's unique blend of traditional folk music and heavy metal. The album takes its name from a creature of Slavic mythology, and the band's music is infused with a sense of ancient mysticism and folklore.

From the opening track, "Oj Dido," Percival Schuttenbach sets the tone for the album with a driving rhythm and soaring vocals. The band's use of traditional instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy and bagpipes gives their music a distinctive sound, while the heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums add a modern edge.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Oj Dido II," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's skillful use of harmonies and intricate instrumentation. Another highlight is "Krakus," a fast-paced, energetic track that will have listeners headbanging along.
