DIABOŁ BORUTA is a band based in the capital of Podkarpacie in Poland. They are active on the music scene since 2010. They play play folk metal, but on the fifth studio album “Borutus Akustikus” (2023) they showed the most recognizable songs in an acoustic version. This special release could take you on a journey through time and space to the land of the Slavs and their captivating music. But at the end of 2023 once again, Rzeszowian band chose best songs and re-recorded without folk instruments, as fully thrash/heavy metal music.
Musicians comments: “Our goal was to refresh older material and record it with a live lineup, i.e. without keyboards and with different guitar arrangements. The argument for the creation of this release was also the statement that Borut is a metal band and it would be a pity if the year 2023 was associated only with an acoustic album, so we decided to release an album with a new sound, which includes older songs, i.e. “The Best off alive but in the studio.””
The leader of the band – Paweł Leniart – is responsible for recording, mixing and mastering. Cover artwork was done by Maciej Skrzypek & Hania Francus.
Album “Byłem Ogni Dębem” was released on November 15, 2023 digitally and as limited CD.
