Description

Polish version of the album Identity. 2009 re-issue with three bonus tracks Some people consider the classical metal fans to be living in the past. So what? Rock is rock, it has to have guitars, solos and a strong voice, and heavy metal has to have the feeling that makes it metal, and which most modern bands have forgotten. Turbo’s Tozsamosc could have come right out of the eighties. The riffs are classical, but still something new, original compositions which sound fresh – but at the same time they sound heavy metal. All songs, especially Paranoja, Legenda Thora, have that feeling, like all good records of the 80s had, they make the listener imagine old times, medieval armies, dark places… One of the best pieces here is Eneida, an instrumental based on Virgil's work. Vocalist Grzegorz Kupczyk is considered a Polish Bruce Dickinson by some fans, but I do not completely agree. The influence of the legend is obvious in Kupczyk's vocal style, but his own voice is slightly different. He's got his own vocal style, which also is important because makes the music sound original. His own lyrics are quite good, I think. They are all in Polish, the English versions aren't as good. Tozsamosc sound modern in the way its recorded with all modern equipment used now but it hasn’t lost any of its heavy-metalness. This is pure metal album Track listing: 1. Paranoja 2. Samotnia 3.
