Brace yourselves for the sonic eruption of “Butterfly Effect”, the newest instrumental gem from Polish/Cairo-based guitarist and composer ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ and his project, THE FIREFLIES OF FEBRUARY. This electrifying hard rock track serves as a potent appetizer for their recently released album, “Hive of Weirdness,” the climactic chapter in their critically acclaimed trilogy.
“Hive of Weirdness,” available on all major platforms since February 9th, 2024, signifies not just an ending, but a thrilling metamorphosis. This diverse and dynamic 10-track odyssey transcends genre, drawing inspiration from rock titans like Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Metallica, while weaving in the virtuosic stylings of Satriani and Vai. Each track, including the captivating “Butterfly Effect,” pulsates with Citowicz’s signature blend of technical prowess and raw emotion, echoing the introspective themes explored in his published works, “Hive of Weirdness” and “Never Ending Storms.”
Fellow Polish musician Patryk Szymanski’s thunderous bass lines provide the perfect counterpoint to Citowicz’s soaring guitar work in “Butterfly Effect,” solidifying their long-standing musical partnership. But the journey doesn’t stop there. This release serves as a springboard for a bold new venture: transforming the trilogy into a vocal experience.
Citovitz, a former recording artist with Down Boys Records (Erik Turner & Jerry Dixon of Warrant), plans to breathe new life into the instrumentals by collaborating with diverse vocalists and incorporating AI technology. This innovative approach promises a fresh perspective on his music, attracting a wider audience while staying true to its core essence.
