Wiatyk – Tron Wlen (1996)

November 10, 2023

I took one look at that cover and there was no way in hell that I was not going to have a listen to this thing. Great riffs here, really cool melodic compositions, if not a bit rudimentary, lead the way ahead of snarling, howling raspy vocals. Unfortunately the drumming is very loose, but not to the point where it adds some sort of shambolic charm to proceedings. Sure, it is servicable, especially considering this is a cassette demo from 1996, but the percussion misses and off-beats can be a little off-putting.
