“Ràna (Mornings)” opens up the album with some pitoresque nature sounds of birds, kittens and other animals. Though many fans aren’t aware of that, there’s a new tendency in Black Metal that aligns with the sounds of nature and is enviromentalist writing songs that deal with some conservation issues and causes. It’s the case here, just a reminder. From then on the album acquires a more joyfull mood with “Detské hry (Children’s games)”. Musicwise, the album goes adding more Metal elements in its melting pot leaving the muzak behind to reach the top at “Stáčanie medu (Honey extraction)”.
The general mood in “Spomienky” is the nostalgia followed by some sorrow and sadness. The music here is a little muzak with all the elements that are part of the so-called soft music that can be played everywhere without disturbing the peace. As I said before, this kind of album wouldn’t be possible years ago because Metal Music wouldn’t allow this kind of influence. On its own way, Metal has been characterized as the disturbing music itself. And that’s the essence of it. However, is the music here bad? No, not at all. Just different from we metalheads are used to.
“Spomienky” is an album that might change some minds.
Vladimir Pavelka “Spomienky” was released on February 26th via Beyond Eyes.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
