NOTES
It was by pure chance that I came across the Polish band WILCZY PAJAK. For a more international approach they
had already already re-named to WOLF SPIDER and I had never heard of them before when I bought a (really
cheap) copy of their "Kingdom Of Paranoia" CD, that, guessing by the price it had, apparently hadn't been
what you would call successful. Though this is something they didn't deserve and something I don't
understand to this day (because not only was the music highly innovative technical thrash, but
it was also accompanied by great musicianship), this seems to have been the fate of ever
so many metal bands with a more or less proggy approach to music like Watchtower,
Nasty Savage, Mekong Delta, Angkor Wat (to name but a few),whose members
then either decided to call it quits or went "on" musically by doing something
less distinctive and unfortunately often rather arbitrary. However, their
output (4 albums and a live split-LP) absolutely deserves to be
listened to and for me they are one of the bands that time
not only forgot to the utmostextent but which were most
underrated even at the time they existed. As you
can see, I don't really have much of the band
yet, but would definitely be glad to see
this change. If someone from the
band should happen to come
across these pages, please
make sure you get in touch!
