Sobre Kat

Country of origin: Poland Location: Katowice, Silesia Status: Active Formed in: 1979 Genre: Heavy/Speed/Black Metal (early); Thrash Metal (later) Lyrical themes: Satanism, Hell (early); Life, Death, Society (later) Current label: Pure Steel Records Years active: 1979-1988, 1990-1999, 2002-2005, 2005-present Kat (Polish for “executioner”) was formed in late 1979 by drummer Ireneusz Loth and guitarist Piotr Luczyk – bassist Tomasz Jaguś and guitarist Ryszard Pisarski later joined the band. They played instrumental music until mid-1982 when Roman Kostrzewski took vocal duties. Their sound was clearly reminiscent of '70s hard rock and the NWOBHM, later embracing a thrash-oriented sound. In 1984, Wojciech Mrowiec replaced Pisarski and the group qualified for the band contest of the Jarocin festival. Their increasing success gave them the opportunity to record their debut single Ostatni Tabor/Noce Szatana the same year with the collaboration of Tomasz Dziubiński. In May 1985 they toured with Hanoi Rocks and headlined the Jarocin festival. They signed shortly afterwards with the Belgian record label Mausoleum Records, which released the English debut Metal And Hell, which was published in March 1986. The Polish version 666 was released by Klub Płytowy Razem. The album became a cult item among fans. The band sparked controversy with their satanic lyrics and celebrations of black masses in cemeteries. Bassist Krzysztof Stasiak was subsequently introduced, while Mrowiec presented his resignation in 1987. The same year, Kat toured with Metallica in their home country and gigged alongside Overkill, Helloween and Running Wild at the Metalmania festival, releasing the live album 38 minutes Of Life in December. In late 1987 they also recorded Oddech Wymarłych Światów, finally published one year later. The band parted ways with Dziubiński at the time, marking the beginning of a period of crisis. They disbanded in 1988, following Kostrzewski’s departure.
