R.I.P. Waldemar Sagan (1976–2024)
The band shared the sad news on their Facebook profile that the band’s former vocalist and collaborator Waldemar "Waler" Sagan died on 24 March 2024.
Even if I didn’t come to meet "Waler" in person, and the only contact we had were merely two emails concerning his profile on this website, I must agree that his work – as small the contributions may seem to be – especially on the debut album "…and Jesus wept" perfectly fits the suffocating and sick mood of that underrated record. His first great performance on the promo tape "Erotica" from 1997 still gives me goose-bumps because of the "infernal" vocals.
Ironically there is a cross and the abbreviation "śp." (i.e. "late" but also "commemorated" or "in memoriam", but literally "in a holy memory") on the obituary note published on the profile, while on one of the last photos he wears a necklace with an inverted cross of a substantial size 🤘

[07.2012]
The mix as the final part of the production process of the forthcoming album is finished. Now the band is waiting for an answer from one of the record companies
which received the promotional package (album with videoclip to the song "Laura").
The band shows the front cover project for the album entitled "Lust" on its Facebook profile. I will show it also here soon.
[01.2012]
As you may have noticed in the Personnel section Aneta has changed her second name to her husband's, Mr. Romańczyk. On the occasion of their wedding (on December 23, 2011) lots of good luck for the common future!

The successor to the recent album will be probably entitled
"Imprint". There will be no screams by Waldemar Sagan (because he's

announced. A release date is yet unknown.
