There are no exact definitions what Christian rock must be, and that is normal. At least, this refers to the music constituent – the musicians have absolute freedom of choice, no limitations. Well, and as to the texts – clearly, there is no need to persuade anybody. Maybe, it is impossible to even imagine a person who would be engaged in Christian rock – but contrary to his/her religious, ethics principles. Thus, it is exactly these principles that lie in the basis of works by Opozicia group. However, we would like to emphasize another important aspect. Namely: topics of songs by Opozicia cover an extensive range of themes. And, strictly speaking, Christian morality is the foundation, not a flag. That is why in the group's texts it is possible to hear a great number of poignant social issues – these guys are not afraid to admit that problems exist, they are not afraid to give them their true names. To some it may seem too harsh of a position – but for others, maybe, it is this clear definiteness that may become the resistance prop. As, whatever you may say, the modern society has a number of defects and failures that it is necessary to oppose to in order not to turn into dumb biomass. As to my taste, none of this kind of defects deserves emotional explosions of any strength – but each of us chooses method of resistance in his/her own discretion. As they sing in one of the songs of this album, "my position is opposition". I do not see any sense to argue. The main thing is not to impose one's positions on others, isn't it?

..here the Christmas holiday is rather an initial impulse, an occasion to talk about the joy of life, birth, the joy of paving the way towards something positive in one's own heart – something that makes one capable of giving and receiving gifts with gratitude.

No visible haste, confident motions, precise lines, rich colors – but natural, not artificial. There is no dissonance in these bright flashes – that is why they come into notice, and at that they are not boring. There seems to be less external drive now, but the internal force has become more perceptible – and it touches deeper than the ordinary drive.

The group Kroky (Steps) stands out for two reasons. First – against the general background, as creativity of the group is subordinated to ideas not quite typical for lyric underground. And to continue – the group advantageously differs even against the background of their trend colleagues.

..it sounds as if somewhere at a rather strange intersection of indie/alt-rock/dark cabaret, without going into any of these territories explicitly, fully. And this is how, one step away from the clear line, they are forming their own space: broken, stormy and muffled, painfully sharp and – seemingly conscious of its mirages.

..despite the relatively exotic terminology, these songs focus on such simple and complex, fundamental things in their inclusiveness: Life. Death. The path. The forest of ideas. In the album "Shaman", Merva weaves densely – and amplifies this with the corresponding sound range, which by no means inspires relaxation.

With their second album, Pins reinforce the impression that the group does not agree to the role of a simple mirror. To see, think, understand – and seek. They may not always find – but do not stop. Eventually, perhaps, no answer is final – the more one gets to know, the more one has to cognize.

The fourth album by Skinhate – and the first one in the recent 10 years – is, as ever, true musical fury. An unprepared listener will be just carried away, a prepared one – comforted with the powerful hardcore mix and meaningful anger.

If one has a look at the song titles – one would think that the meeting with the music would be quite … predictable, probably. But this distance impression changes to some extent once you start listening. In fact, perhaps, the main surprise is how softly electronics and progressive rock are combined here.

This album leaves an interesting feeling – as if one has heard three in one. A sort of "arrivederci" to the previous album, completely different aesthetics. But it is only the first half (including by timing) of the disk. Next is "Black Church" – through which one may already recall that Stoned Jesus started with vintage rock...

..the debut mini-album by the Kyiv group "Kraamola". Despite the relatively small content – four songs plus a bonus – the work definitely manages to catch with its energy, a powerful message. And it's not just that the music is heavy – thus, by definition, it is tense, charged with energy.

"Anna" has released a truly thoughtful piece. The powerful sounding and the characteristic vocal – all of that is clear, this is familiar, but I'd like to separately mention two other aspects. First – the new lyrics of the group carry even more semantic meaning. And, second, this is, actually, construction of the compositions..

We wanted to introduce this album here for several reasons at once. First, it has an interesting general concept – as can be seen from its name already, the album is devoted to the matters that for many decades have been helping people to kill – both each other, and oneself. Secondly – these texts do touch with their merciless straightforwardness, frankness of evaluations, bitter irony.

"Kley.Mo" is the answer that Tol gave to itself to its own question. For about a year prior to release of this disc the group declared that it would be on vacations – and it was far not a sure fact that it would ever get back on the scene. But the period of silence has passed, and Tol has not only returned to performances, but has also presented fresh material.

Artistic tools of alternative music, expressive male vocal with a number of emotional tints, introduction into the body of the songs of singing in the authentic manner, extraordinarily appropriate sounding of folk winds – all of that creates a very saturated, literally electrified atmosphere. It is in this connection that it's nice to note that lyrics of the songs in no way yield to the music.

Thus, a cradle... Let's see, maybe, something extraordinary will really appear from this cradle to the light of the day. In any case, there are preconditions for optimism for sure. During the three years of its existence, the group has had enough time to attain both a nice quality of the material, and, the main thing, their own manner.

There is in all that music some adult thing that lets one know – nothing occasional, toy-like happens here. Adult guys create adult songs and drink beer in the adult way (even if they do not drink it). Leather jeans should be somewhere at hand

It is not that Ukraine has few serious, heavy rock groups – they exist, and new ones constantly appear, and more and more actively. But far not each group manages to furnish their appearance on the large scene in such a high-quality, noted and convincing way as the group White has managed. However, maybe, it is logical...

...the first album is a convincing evidence of the fact that this group is capable of making experiments deeply and finely through mixing ethno, acid, trance, rock and fly-agaric and at the same time remembering the taste. Still, even the vocal singing deserves your attention, to say nothing about the rest of music...

I've heard a lot of Christian bands before, but this band is one of the best. They refuse to sugarcoat anything and, because of their bravery, brilliant music is created!
