Supraphon Release Information



According to Slávek Janda, it is the freshest album in the band’s history! The founder, guitarist and leader of Abraxas attributes the band’s new miasma to last year’s tribute to its past in the form of the 2CD “Tribute”, but above all to the sixty concerts that Slávek Janda (guitar, synth, vocals), Miroslav Imrich (vocals, show), Ivan Doležálek (bass, vocals) and Eduard Štěpánek (drums) played together in 2014. Combined with the fundamentally important lyricist and manager Petr Soukup, a total of 11 songs were thus released, together slightly paradoxically named after the most exceptional slowest of them.

It’s still good old Abraxas, a peculiar combination of rock, funk, disco, Latin and new wave escapes. Aside from the unmistakable guitar solos, it’s a hell of a ride at times, with hard rock riffs and radical rapping on themes about the prudes around us or the tricks of the pharmaceutical industry, but also about our inner blackness or our need to just rock out every now and then. The music was written entirely by Slávek Janda, who in two cases used his own starting points from the eighties, perfectly transplanted into the overall sound of this year. Recording and mixing was done in the “Cobra” studio in Vinohrady, with subsequent mastering done in the “M8 Service” studio in England.

The project is bookended by a set of special photographs, several music videos are in the works, there will be concerts all year long – simply Abraxas is back with full energy and big plans. “Tribute” has clearly proven that the musical legacy is a big cover attraction for a lot of local bands and singers, from R’n’B vocalists to rock almost-big bands to electronic experimenters. Now it’s Abraxas’ turn to prove that they are going all out – and on this fresh studio record, they have certainly done that.

The new Abraxas album: these eleven songs will definitely not leave you in peace!
