About Żywiołak
Since August 15, 2007
Warszawa, Poland 
-- ABOUT THE BAND --
For years, most groups on the popular music scene have sought inspiration according to a certain model – copying patterns created by others.
The band Żywiołak was created in order to do away with that model.
They wanted to prove that Polish oberek folk dances or archaic traditional songs could also serve as source material to create popular music.
Żywiołak has shown that Polish music can also be governed by its own laws and, to quote Mikołaj Rej:
“Let it by all and sundry foreign nations be known
That Poles are no geese — they have a language of their own”
It is music of Slavonic elementals – strigoi, phantoms and ghouls – but it also gives us modern-day demons, including those spawned in the “hellhole” of Polish rock.
In a word: Żywiołak
Music Genre:
Folk Rock / Roots Music / Experimental / Metal
"Psychodelic Proto-Slavonic Music"
"Polish neoroots music"
