Kurwa Doktor comments: “Our 5th album ‘Disgust’ is a brutal reality check in the form of a 20-song blast of adult oriented deathgrind. We moved further away from the gore & perversion fantasy themes and discovered the wonderful world of every-day morbid human behaviour. At the same time we enriched the old school death/grind groundwork with shameless hardcore elements and dissonant madness. If this is some form a rebirth of this band, it was probably painless and bloodless even though not very obvious nor premeditated. Feel the disgust and love it like a hideous animal you are.”

ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ, the acclaimed guitarist and composer known for his work with Citovitz And The Fireflies Of February, has unveiled his latest musical offering – the new single “Fear Poems” from his upcoming EP “Winter Love”. This highly anticipated release marks a bold new direction for the artist, fusing his signature guitar-driven sound with the soaring vocals of pop artist Justine St. Claire.
Citowicz, who has been a recording artist for the legendary American label DownBoys Records for many years, has collaborated extensively with bass maestro Patryk Szymanski over the course of his career. This long-standing creative partnership has played a pivotal role in shaping the unique sonic landscape of “Winter Love.”
“‘Winter Love’ represents a new chapter in my musical journey,” said Citowicz. “With the help of AI-powered tools and a focus on live instrumentation, I’ve been able to craft a sound that seamlessly blends the raw power of rock with the infectious energy of pop. Working alongside Justine St. Claire has been an absolute revelation – her vocals elevate the material to new heights, while Patryk’s synth bass work provides a pulsing backbone that drives the entire EP forward.” The lead single “Fear Poems” serves as a tantalizing preview of the sonic alchemy that awaits listeners on the full “Winter Love” EP, scheduled for release on December 1, 2024. Citowicz’s virtuosic guitar work intertwines with St. Claire’s soaring melodies, creating a expansive, cinematic soundscape that is both emotionally resonant and rhythmically captivating.
“This project has been a true labor of love,” Citowicz continued. “It’s my hope that ‘Winter Love’ will transport listeners to a world of wonder and imagination, where the boundaries between genres fade away and the only thing that matters is the power of great music.”

September 5th 2024, ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ’s CITOVITZ AND THE FIREFLIES OF FEBRUARY (CTFF) premiered via YouTube their latest album “Living Machine”.
This project features two talented musicians: Andrzej Citowicz, a guitarist and composer originally from Wałbrzych, Poland, now residing in Cairo, who has collaborated with guitarists from the legendary American band Warrant; and Patryk Szymański, a bassist and guitarist from Działdowo, Poland, known for his work with the band Transtime.
“Living Machine” – comprises 10 tracks. The album blends ’80s rock vibes with modern sounds. What sets this release apart is the inclusion of vocal parts, a departure from the band’s previous instrumental albums. Through a collaboration with TuneCore, the musicians leveraged artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. AI not only generated vocal parts for the provided lyrics and tracks but was also applied to existing vocal recordings, giving them a completely new dimension.
On May 6th 2024, Andrzej Citowicz released his deeply personal gift, “Carpe Diem: The Best Of” album, of Citowicz’s creative musical odyssey.
Beyond the realm of music, “Carpe Diem: The Best Of” is a profound reflection of Andrzej Citowicz himself. Every note and melody resonate with the triumphs, challenges, and quiet moments of contemplation that have shaped him as an artist. It’s an intimate glimpse into the depths of his being.

As an autistic guitarist, Citowicz has leveraged his unique perspective to craft a distinctive sound that resonates with listeners from all walks of life. His music serves as a powerful tool for self-expression, allowing him to convey complex emotions and thoughts in a way that transcends verbal communication. By sharing his experiences and creative process, Citowicz aims to inspire and empower others on the autism spectrum, while also promoting greater understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity in the music industry.
Andrzej Citowicz’s music career has been marked by a unique blend of hard rock, blues, and cinematic elements, which has garnered him a loyal following across the globe. His critically acclaimed trilogy of instrumental albums has been praised for its emotional depth, technical virtuosity, and innovative storytelling. Citowicz’s music has been described as “a cinematic soundscape that transports listeners to a world of raw emotion”.
JULIET’S NOT DEAD release their video for storming new rocker ‘King And Queen’, out now,new album ‘This World Is Ours‘ will be released on 7th February, 2025.
Main man Stevie Stoker says this about the single, “What I love about King & Queen musically is just how relentless it is. It just starts and is full on until the end. It’s a million miles an hour. Even when we were demoing it, you could feel how it would sound finished. It has this infectious energy about it that really reflects us as a band.
Musically its ‘feel good’ song but it also has a message behind it, that you should surround yourself with people who make you a better person but also accept you at your worst. We can’t all be 100% all the time. We will have our wild moments, our down moments we need the people around us to accept that and roll with it. Sometimes they will add to the madness, and sometimes they will be the calm we were looking for.”
Stevie Stoker spoke about ‘This World Is Ours‘, “I love this album, not only do I think it’s the best music we’ve ever written, but it was also the most enjoyable writing and recording process I’ve ever been a part of. Jack & I wrote for most of 2023. We were even recording demos while on tour around Europe. From the get-go we knew what we wanted to say with this collection of songs. As a band you come up against so many challenges and we wanted this album to reflect all of the emotions, difficult decisions, and strong bonds we’ve made over the last couple of years.
“Getting the songs ready to record for the final time is always my favourite part of the process but also one of the trickiest. We demo them fully, so every layer and part is where it should be and critique and change bits until we are happy with it. However it’s sometimes difficult to know when you’re done. Thankfully we had the right production team behind it, approaching it with a clear view of what we wanted the final result to be. Romesh (Dodangoda) and the boys at Longwave made our job easy and we literally smiled and laughed our way through it. We hope anyone who hears it will hear the joy behind the music no matter the subject.”
Heralding from the North East, Juliet’s Not Dead are an adrenaline fuelled, driven band with the sole intention of thrilling their audiences at every show. They have just finished recording the follow up to the highly acclaimed debut album and it is ready for release in February 2025. If their last EP ‘Only The Strong Survive’ is anything to go by; attitude filled riffs, and a killer modern edge will be abundant. The band have again paired with Mercury prize & Grammy nominated producer Romesh Dodangoda to set about crafting something special.
Formerly known as TWISTER, this album will be the first under their new moniker of Juliet’s Not Dead Stevie Stoker said of the name change, “This is probably the biggest decision we’ve ever made as a band, having gone under the Twister banner for so long. But following the completion of our new album with Romesh it just felt time to evolve, to kick it up, to create a brand that better represents our sound. It was hard to take the plunge but now it’s done it feels great. We love our new name, but I now need another tattoo! He added, “We will still be playing Twister songs, they are now just Juliet’s Not Dead songs and when coupled with the new material folks will see that growth and natural progression. These are exciting times for us, not that we were jaded or treading water, but the new material sounds fresh and takes us to another level. Now we get to show our fans and hopefully gain some new ones too. We’ve spent so long perfecting this show and now we absolutely can’t wait to get out there and play for everyone.”

HIGHSOCIETY and COPING METHOD, both masters of sonic mayhem, have dropped their next single a brutal metalcore dubstep cross over that is anything but “Obsolete.”
Driven by Coping Method’s signature dark and intense metalcore style, fused with HIGHSOCIETY’s groundbreaking metal dubstep production, “OBSOLETE” is a fierce, adrenaline-charged anthem. The raw aggression of metalcore in tandem with the electrifying energy of EDM and dubstep, this explosive collaboration pushes boundaries and redefines what a genre crossover can sound like. With heavy breakdowns combined with brutal vocals, and searing synths that collide in a sonic assault both bands have delivered a track that is both chaotic and meticulously crafted. The result is a brutal, yet cohesive, track that embodies the future of hybrid metalcore-electronic music – Perfect for fans looking for something that defies convention. Step out of your comfort zone. “Obsolete” is out now from FiXT.
“Collaborations come together in all sorts of ways,” explains HIGHSOCIETY. “Sometimes they’re business-driven or arranged by labels—but this one was personal. As the ultimate Coping Method fan (seriously, I’ll challenge anyone on that), I knew I had to make this happen. Their dark metalcore-EDM sound feels like the perfect mirror image of mine, and I knew we’d create an absolute monster if we worked together.” – HIGHSOCIETY
The ascending bass music talent that is known as HIGHSOCIETY has been on a rapid rise as of late, thanks to his addictive blend of stadium-crushing future bass, metallurgic dubstep, and blazing trap. With a seemingly endless torrent of releases across standout labels from FiXT, Barong Family, and Universal Music, to Red Bull Records and Lowly Palace/Trap Nation, HIGHSOCIETY has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting new acts in electronic music.
In the past HIGHSOCIETY worked with respected labels such as Dim Mak, Red Bull Records, Island Records, Lowly Palace, Welcome Records, Barong Family, Universal, and now FiXT. He’s also worked with many high-profile artists including AWOLNATION, Attack Attack!, Celldweller, Teddy Killerz, The Anix, Big Shaq, Reid Speed, Palisades, Jade, and Le Castle Vania as well as earned sync placements with HBO, MTV, MTV2, ABC Family, Freeform, and Oxygen. He’s performed live with Knife Party, Kill The Noise, Slushii, Modestep, GTA, and Elohim at many live festivals including but not limited to Live 105 BFD Festival, Bottlerock Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event, and many headline shows across the US.
Beneath the mystifying cloak of ambiguity lies vulnerability. Coping Method thrives in the shadows of the human psyche, exploring unfiltered rumination via their unique marriage of Metal and Dark EDM. Those who participate in their exercises, classified as “trainees,” are encouraged to lose themselves in each sonic wave. Underneath the brooding veneer of the organization is a yearning to connect with each trainee, providing an outlet for their struggles. Instructors Tyler Simpson (Vocals), Jed Stark (Guitar/Synth), and Chad Wunderle (Drums) believe in the message with every fiber of their being. By embracing the pulsating soundscapes and sonorous timbres, you too might believe.
THE 7TH GUILD will release the debut album “Triumviro” on February 21st through Scarlet Records. PRE-ORDER.
The 7th Guild saw the light in 2021 as side-project of Skeletoon’s frontman and songwriter Tomi Fooler. The idea at its base was to put together a powerful trio of singers in the vein of the legendary Three Tenors (Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo & José Carreras).
Rhapsody Of Fire’s Giacomo Voli and Vision Divine/Derdian’s Ivan Giannini joined Tomi Fooler to create this magic trio. The band has been completed with a strong line-up that includes the blazing drumming of Michael Ehré (Gamma Ray, The Unity), who forms a granitic rhythm section with Francesco Ferraro (Freedom Call, Bloodorn) on bass. Simone Mularoni (DGM), who also produced the album at his Domination Studio, is the genius man behind the guitars, while the cinematic orchestration are vividly painted by Daniele Mazza (Ancient Bards) and Alessio Lucatti (Vision Divine, Deathless Legacy) is the majestic chief keyboard wizard.
Catchy power metal melodies are melted with a symphonic music style, giving the perception of an operatic composing process. Emerging sound passes through classic orchestral arrangements with bombastic cinematic patterns, resulting in a wonderful choral result. References to the sounds of early Rhapsody Of Fire, Andre Matos and latest Helloween appear here and there among the unique style developed by Tomi Fooler & Co.

Jimmy Kay from Canada’s The Metal Voice sat down with Queensryche guitarist Michael Wilton to talk about his upcoming Solo Album WHIP VOL 1.
When asked about the idea behind a solo album “I’m always writing songs and some of the songs, just depending on my mood, don’t fit Queensryche. So I just have just a plethora of ideas and songs. So I just decided to kind of work on them and get them together. I found some guys that that fit with me and now I have an album coming out it’s called ‘Whip’ volume one.”
When asked about musical stylings on the solo album “It’s not the power metal or the high operatic singing or anything like that it’s more just hard rock. Everybody that’s heard it says it’s really cool.”
When asked if he plans on touring the album “I’d have to write volume two…..laughs. It’s a possibility but you know Queensryche is so busy and we’re always working but if there’s room in the schedule maybe to do something like a week or two weeks or 3 weeks or something then it’s not out of the question.”
