Topic: Kruk working on a new studio album “Be3”
Posted: August 02 2012 at 10:44

KRUK, a Polish Hard Rock band, is currently in the studio working on the material for their new release. The third, as yet untitled, album is scheduled for release in Autumn.

The new material will be produced by Marcin Kindla, previously associated with Polish pop scene. “The material on which we are currently working is undoubtedly still rock music. However, we do feel a great urge to write it in a slightly different way than it was with our two previous albums.” says Piotr Brzychcy, Kruk’s guitarist. “We are open to other genres of music and this time we are trying to make use of it. That’s why I am counting on Marcin Kindla who, despite being brought up on rock music, comes from a totally different music sphere. He has astonishing intuition and taste in what he is doing and, what is more important, he is open to crazy ideas. Of course there would be no fun if we didn’t prepare some special surprises, but let this remain our secret. And the truth is we still do not know what we will end up with at the end of the recordings” adds Brzychcy.

KRUK

KRUK was formed in 2001 by Piotr Brzychcy and Krzysztof Walczyk. The band members were heavily inspired by Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep and it was these influences that shaped Kruk's music, placing it within a classic rock framework. In 2006 Kruk recorded the album "Memories" with Grzegorz Kupczyk (Ceti's & Turbo’s vocalist). The album was a tribute to the aforementioned bands. In the next years, Kruk followed their own path and managed to forge their own sound. Their proper debut album entitled "Before He'll Kill You", released in 2009, was well received both by media and by music fans. The year 2011 marked the release of their second studio album. Doogie White (ex. Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tank) and Piotr Kupicha (Feel) made guest appearances on "It Will Not Come Back". The album was available with a bonus live DVD featuring a 100-minute concert footage. "It Will Not Come Back" was enthusiastically reviewed both in Poland and overseas. Kruk supported such legends of rock as Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Graham Bonnet, ex-singer from Rainbow, and Michael Schenker Group.

Line-up:

Piotr Brzychcy - guitars

KRUK, a Polish Hard Rock band, are finishing their work on the material for their new release. The third album entitled “Be3” is scheduled for release in Autumn. Today, the band reveal the first track which will promote the album: “Child in Time”, a cover of the classic song from Deep Purple's discography, which you can listen to at THIS location.

Piotr Brzychcy, Kruk’s guitarist explains their choice of this song: "We do not write songs like this nowadays, songs that - like ‘Child in Time’ - stay with us for years, which become a symbol of a certain era. Rock music is still alive thanks these songs. Out of our love for Deep Purple, we decided to include our version of ‘Child in Time’ on the album. If it inspired us once to form a band and to search for our own way then perhaps there will be others that will feel the same way.”

Piotr also comments on the title of the new album: "’Be3' is a reflection of what is happening in our music and in ourselves. We are here now, we write music, we play it, we're releasing another album, we love doing it and, most importantly, we are free to do so. It’s a kind of a manifesto which says – we do not want to change that state.”

The new material is produced by Marcin Kindla, previously associated with Polish pop scene. “The material on which we are currently working is undoubtedly still rock music. However, we do feel a great urge to write it in a slightly different way than it was with our two previous albums.” says Brzychcy.

"Be3" is set to be released on November, 26th in Europe and January, 15th 2013 in USA (via MVD).

Good hard-rock band.

The good point is that when singing in english, the vocalist has not so strong an accent as Grzegorz Kupczyk (the polish Dickinson), who collaborated on their first album.

Indeed recommended for fans of Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Rainbow and also Iron Maiden.

Kruk, a Polish Hard Rock band, is almost ready to release their new album.

New material entitled “Be 3” is set to be released on November, 26th in Europe and January, 15th 2013 in USA (via MVD). And today the band reveal the cover artwork of the album.

Piotr Brzychcy, guitarist comments: “"The process of making the cover artwork for this album was probably more turbulent than just writing and recording the music. We wanted the album artwork to be very simple and at the same time meaningful. It supposed to be a proof that the band is evolving.”

“Child in Time”, a cover of the classic song from Deep Purple's discography which promotes “Be 3” is still available on Metal Mind Production’ official channel on YouTube at THIS location.
