Śmierć Kliniczna - 1982 1984

Review by Berni Xiong

Śmierć Kliniczna's album 1982 1984 is a heavy and intense experience that takes listeners on a journey through the band's early years. The album is a compilation of tracks from their first two EPs, showcasing the raw energy and aggression that defined their sound in the early 80s.

From the opening track "Ratuj Swój Umysł" to the closing "Zabij Się", 1982 1984 is an unrelenting assault on the senses. The band's punk and hardcore influences are evident throughout, with fast-paced drumming, distorted guitars, and raw, shouted vocals.

Despite the abrasive nature of the music, there is a sense of purpose and urgency that shines through. The lyrics deal with social and political issues, with songs like "Krew I Honor" and "Dzieci Rewolucji" tackling themes of violence, rebellion, and the struggle for freedom.
