Root: Zjeveni
25 years after it’s original release, Root’s 1990-debut album “ZjevenÔ will once again be available on wax! Being persecuted and oppressed by the communist Czechoslovakian (Big Boss was once labeled as “The Satan-Agent from the West” by the authorities) government and real difficulties obtaining a proper studio and reasonable recording equipment – the most miserable conditions imaginable really – didn’t stop Root from making one of the most evil and individualistic black metal creations ever, with rotten riffs stinking of the old and grey Eastern Block – in the most positive sense. It wouldn’t be misguided to name them Bathory (or Hellhammer) from behind the Iron Curtain. “ZjevenÔ is a definite must for fans of early primitive black metal; an album portraying the region and era. The first 333 copies are available on Red/Black Marble vinyl.
