Silver Samurai is a Polish rock band from Tychy that was founded in the year 2005 (with some personnel changes in 2006). The band debuted with “Back To The 80’s” and it was recorded in the following line-up: Adam ‘Blackie’ Bała (vocal), Andrzej ‘Andy’ Domżoł (lead and solo guitar), Tomasz ‘Tommy’ Cedzyński (bass) and Mateusz ‘Mazir’ Mazur (percussion; known from another group Kaiser Waltzer).The band’s name comes from one of X-Men’s enemies (Blackie is keen on comic books). Silver Samurai, in 2009, played about 30 club and open air concerts (e.g. “Dni Tyskie” – as opener for Hey; “Żubrowisko” – before Cree; in the end of motorcycle season in Bielsk and rallies in Częstochowa).
“Back To The 80's” starts with the opening rocker “Na zawsze szaleni”. It consists of catchy vocal lines and appealing choruses. One of the strongest points of the track is excellent guitarwork and melodic solo part, making this cut a rock hit. Another melodic rock blockbuster is “Nie zmienisz mnie” with a bit of progression in riffs and one of the most outstanding guitar solos on the album. Another melodic rocker is “Ostatni buntownik” with obligatory guitar solo and a great dose of melodiousness within. “Back To The 80's” is not unified musically. There are also classic hair metal tracks like “Ogień”, “Lucy” and “She's From High School”. There are also two contrasting songs: “Alone” – a balladish tune with very accessible chorus and “Tak jak lubię” – the most dynamic rocker with heavy riffs.
Take a glance at the front cover: a Ford Mustang and an American chick on its hood. Even though there are only three songs in English, every listener can sense a specific “laid back” atmosphere in each track. The musicians transfer their optimism through every song and refer to the golden 80s (as the album’s title indicates). Their image is also a direct reference to hair and glam metal bands from the USA. Lyrics cannot always be taken seriously. Polish musicians have much happiness and fun producing such a kind of music in the commercial 21st century. There are no philosophical messages hidden in texts. As far as musical and non-musical components are concerned, here are distinctive riffs, catchy melodies, memorizeable choruses and the image typical of melodic rock bands in the 80s. The stuff is very accesible in its reception. Although it is an independent release, it was well-produced in Rapid Fire Studio. If you mix Zanderhaus with Lessdress and add much more melodies, you’ll get something that is called Silver Samurai!
CAUTION! There were ca. 200 copies independently pressed and its circulation is running low.
