Gorycz released single ‘Zabieram skórze Twoją twarz’ back in October you can check out the video for it here at RAMzine.
Vocalist and lyricist Tomek Kukliński commented: “We’ve been wondering for a long time which song will be the best opening track for the new album. Ultimately, the choice fell on ‘Zabieram skórze Twoją twarz’. This literally translates to “I’m taking your face from your skin”.
“In the track, there is a little bit of what each of us is and a bit of what each of us never wanted to be. A musical notation of a nagging question: Who needs to be killed within oneself in order to be truly oneself?”
You can also check out previous single ‘Chcę inne oczy’ that you can also check out the video for here at RAMzine.
“Kamienie took four full years to be created, ” said Kukliński. “It may seem like a long time for an active band but considering the various circumstances that have happened to us during this time, we are very happy that they will be released at all. This material was made in pain, although it was not artistic pain. The creation itself is never a painful or difficult process in our case. Riffs, arrangements, words come relatively easy, but life writes various scenarios, often completely unpredictable. We were slowed down by the pandemic and the lockdown, we said goodbye to two great musicians who had formed the face of the band so far. We were looking for more people, and while looking for them, we were also looking for ourselves anew all the time. Finally, Tomasz and Michał joined us. The bitterness got the right propulsion, we entered the studio and – it can be said for sure – that everyone had finally dropped their proverbial stones.
“I must admit that the album is very important to me personally. It is what we have been for the last 4 years. It’s emotional, maybe a bit weird, but I can assure you there is no fiction, no cheating. There is only truth. Anyway, this is our goal in creating. The meaning of any art should be truth. Art begins with truth and searches for truth. The music that Przemek composes stems from a deep experience of life, it is the fruit of everyday life in which we live, which we struggle with as adult men. It is similar with the words that accompany the music. Bitterness is like an anti-depressant, it allows itself to cope somehow.
