    Nem rossz album. Előző is jó volt, csak az egész nagyon egy témára koncentrált.

    Nekem az Ösztön a kedvencem, de az Életreítélt és a Totem is eléggé jó. Az új albumról pedig az Álarc ami nagyon megfogott.

    but where this shop is? you know - don't wanna pay more for delivery than for CD. It's unfair that delivery is more expesnsive for Poland than for other European coutries.

    Maybe you can order them online? I found a webshop, dark-shop.com, where the CD's are not that expensive as when I order them here in Holland.

    I only know very few songs of Kalapacs and may Pokolgep's recordings. These bands rocks. It's sad that CD of these bands cost in Poland v much. When i converted prices form bands' site it was less than 35 PLN, but Polish shops offers these cd for more than 79 PLN. (1 PLN = 0,35 USD)
