UKĆ

UKĆ is the original project of Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki, known for his work with Corruption, Devilish Impressions, Virgin Snatch, Hermh, and Christ Agony.

Due to his one-man nature, Łukasz and his music were never meant to leave the confines of a recording studio. Immediately after the album’s release, the first proposals to bring the music to the stage arose, resulting in the completion of a live lineup. The band has performed both in Poland and abroad, and these performances are imbued with a powerful emotional charge woven from the most genuine feelings. UKĆ is metal that isn’t shy about its vulnerability.

Some argue that the UKĆ project split Polish metal in half. Their bold, unconventional lyrics and broad approach to music sparked much controversy, quickly making UKĆ one of the hottest newcomers in recent years. The 2023 album “Coming Out” divided not only metal fans but also music editors, who gave the album both the highest and lowest ratings, unanimously emphasizing that a similar phenomenon hadn’t been seen in Polish metal for many years.

After almost three years since the debut album, the time has come for a new release.

All the instruments and vocals for the new album, titled “Anomalie (Upadek Konającego Ćwierćwiecza)“, were recorded by Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki at Hertz Studio in collaboration with Karol Andres (Quo Vadis, Supreme Void). The duo of Łukasz Sarnacki and Wojtek Wiesławski handled the mixes, while Wojtek Wiesławski, who has previously worked with bands such as Behemoth, Decapitated, and Vader, provided the final mastering. The cover art was created by Rafal Kubisiak. The album will be released on March 6, 2026, in digital format and on CD by Via Nocturna (pre-order). The photoshoot was conducted by Magdalena Zagóra.

On February 6, exactly one month before the album’s release – UKĆ revealed the music video for the title track, “Anomalie.” The video was created in collaboration with Art Of Vision.

Icanraz comments on the single: “Anomalie is a song about an autistic boy trying to relate his inner world to the real world. It’s a song about misunderstanding, rocky acceptance, and the difficult but unconditional love between a parent and a child. The lyrics were inspired by the relationship and observations of a close child on the advanced spectrum, who opened the door to his world for me. In the song, you can hear the boy’s voice addressing his parent. This boy is my son, Cyprian, who also played the main role in the song’s music video.
Musically, “Anomalie” is pure emotion circulating between cold black metal and the stylistic openness of prog rock. The whole thing is underpinned by hard rock melodies and closed with a groove-like metal rhythm“.
