KRUSHER „The Beast Within”

Music: Heavy/Power Metal
Website: http://krusher.pl
Country: Poland
Cool songs: everything!

KRUSHER was born in 2002 in Poland. At the beginning the band’s repertoire was dominated by covers of such bands as: MANOWAR, BLACK SABBATH and JUDAS PRIEST. To be honest, those influences are audible while listening to their last release, the single ‘The Beast Within’ .

KRUSHER can be also described as the Polish… METALLICA. Yes, they sound very much alike, although I think that KRUSHER have one huge advantage over the thrash metal veterans: mainly they are young and fresh and more powerful than METALLICA. You may kill me, but I will NOT change my mind. This Polish band is absolutely fantastic, the guys really know how to play music and they do it very well. There is no doubt that we will hear about them soon. Every song on this mini album is a different story, presented in a different way, using different ideas. And those ideas do not repeat and do not bring any boredom. It does not matter that there are only four tracks, because it happens very often that bands with less songs use one idea to perform everything. KRUSHER are very good: the pace and motifs change very often (magnificent ‘Kingdom of False’), the riffs are powerful and even fleshy, when necessary and the drums simply pulverise. This is sheer power. And you better believe it.

Risking my life by making my thesis, I am absolutely sure that KRUSHER will make it on the metal scene and that they will do just fine. Call me an infidel and I will kick you right in your ass. To prove my opinion, listen to KRUSHER playing AC/DC ‘Thunderstruck’. Still do not want to believe me?
