Czart is the creation of Michał Chrościelewski, an artist from northeastern Poland who blends heavy music with experimental visual storytelling. His debut album, “Czarty Polskie”, is a strange and fascinating descent into the folklore of Polish demonology, brought to life with guitars and algorithms. The project uses artificial intelligence not as a gimmick, but as a symbolic mirror of the “unnatural,” tying perfectly into the old Polish myth of devils shaping bodies from vapor.

The album’s concept is rooted in Julian Tuwim’s 1924 book “Czary I Czarty Polskie Oraz Wypisy Czarnoksięskie”. That literary connection gives the work a sense of historical weight and poetic eeriness. The lyrics, sung entirely in Polish, add a haunting layer of authenticity. They sound like fragments of ancient incantations carried through heavy distortion and primal rhythm.

Musically, “Czarty Polskie” is an intense hybrid. Death metal and sludge form its backbone, while hints of 70s psychedelic rock give it an unpredictable, almost dreamlike texture. The songs are short, raw, and packed with motion, often under three minutes, which keeps the experience brisk and feverish. “Ballada O Spalonych Kwiatach” and “Czarcia Kołysanka” are prime examples of how the project balances heaviness with eerie melody. “W Głębi Boru Ciemnego” feels like a night walk through a cursed forest, brief but unsettling.

There’s an occult aura in the entire album, an impression that every sound is part of some forbidden invocation. The AI-assisted production adds a surreal glaze to the sound, giving it an otherworldly shimmer that blurs the line between man and machine. “Czarty Polskie” is not an easy listen at all, its roughness and brevity work in its favor, creating a concentrated dose of chaos that’s authentic to its mythological subject.

Score: 7.0
