Bio:
Boguslaw Balcerak's Crylord, a neo-classical power metal band based in Poland, was founded in 2009. So far, the band centered around guitarist Balcerak has released two albums: "Blood Of The Prophets" (2011) and "Gates Of Valhalla" (2014). The release of the band's third full length-album "Human Heredity" is now more representing a kind of hard rock sound but nevertheless still also showcases the previous, unique neo-classical style.Boguslaw Balcerak is a Polish guitarist born in 1972. As a teenager he played in the band Holocaust. In 1989 Boguslaw saw Yngwie J. Malmsteen play for the first time. It got him intrigued and it changed his guitar playing. In the early 90’s he evolved and developed his own style. Plenty of recording demos were made back then. Some of them caught the attention of Mike Varney. Although no records were made, he continued mastering his guitar technique. At that time, he also worked with different bands. He recorded and toured with the Polish band Hetman.In 2008 he started his own band - Boguslaw Balcerak’s CRYLORD - and has since released 4 albums under that name, making Endless Life number 5. This is not counting Rock Fever, which is a more hard rock album. Having always worked with various singers on the albums (Carsten “Lizard” Schulz, Rick Altzi, Mark Boals, Ricky Wychowaniec, David Akesson and Tim “Ripper” Owens to name a few), this time he is joined full time with another previous guest, the ever impressive Göran Edman! And Göran loved the songs so much, he really outdid himself on the 12 tracks on offer! Prepare to be blown away…
Album:
Boguslaw Balcerak’s CRYLORD album “Ashes II Ashes” is the latest effort from the guitar virtuoso Boguslaw Balcerak. This time I’m truly surprised and impressed. No doubt he can shred. If you like Yngwie J. Malmsteen or George Bellas this is a must buy. But not only for that. There are plenty of great, powerful and heavy songs full of catchy and memorable melodies. Songs are performed by the best of the best singers including Mark Boals, Göran Edman, Rick Altzi, Jota Fortinho, David Akesson, Ricky Vaniec and Harry Conklin. Among 12 songs there are also two interesting instrumental tunes. So far it's the best album recorded by Boguslaw Balcerak’s CRYLORD. All the things this time seem to be in the right place and there are no weak moments at all on this album. In addition, there is one nice cover song “Perfect Strangers” from Deep Purple. Favorite and I believe the best songs are “Stand up and fight” feat. Rick Altzi, “Betrayer” feat. Jota Fortinho, “Love is illusion” feat. Mark Boals and “Cry for the nations” feat. Göran Edman. Much recommended album.
