 Kruk
 It Will Not Come Back
 Review by Larry Toering

Kruk are a strong force with which to reckon. From Poland, they feature the massive talent of main composer and exceptionally talented guitarist Piotr Brzychey, along with a beefy rhythm section and Hammond and Synth extraordinaire Krzyszolf Walczyk. This band means business and from the evidence found on this release, they are up to it. If they keep it up on this level, Kruk are guaranteed to do big things in a global capacity. This is without a doubt, one of the best heavy rock acts I've heard in the last decade. Not only that, it comes with a bonus DVD to witness them at their best, live in concert.
That DVD is a treat worth the price of admission, as they burn through several numbers from this CD, as well as a few surprises, such as Deep Purple's “Child In Time” and “Knocking At Your Back Door.” Including this disc really goes to show just how much they need to be seen to be fully appreciated. Complete with a state of the art production, this documents the band perfectly and sets the proceedings in stone. Expect to hear more where this came from, because Kruk have arrived!
