Polish music stage, when it comes to projects like "dark independent", suffers from a light deficit. Finally! At last! With a great deal of satisfaction we can admit that a full album of Polish band Deathcamp Project is here! The group came into being in 2001 in Kluczbork. The two gentlemen (Void, Betrayal), make goth-rock music with some notes of post-punk, electronic and industrial music. They are inspired by some musicians like Clan of Xymox, Joy Division, Leibah, The Cure, Christian Death and Sisters of Mercy.
Deathcamp Project was a star on the greatest dark independent events in our country and abroad. They supported many famous artists of independent stage: Clan of Xymox (Hol), NFD (UK) - Tony Pettitta’s band - ex Fields of the Nephilim, Cinema Strange (USA), The Birthday Massacre (Can), Closterkeller (Pl).

After this promising introduction, let’s come back to the album itself...
All the music is too beautiful to "cut it into pieces". "Well-known Pleasures" is definitely NOT boring! It presents a wide range of sounds. Starting from the first track - "Another", which is filled with guitar and electronic energy, the album leads us through the next eight tracks, which are full of gloomy atmosphere, darkness, heaviness and guitar-electronic hell. But the catchy music lines and unique scale and timbre of Void’s voice, keep the right balance. The CD ends with "New Dawn Fades" (cover of the legend post-punk Joy Division), which I believe would not disappoint charismatic Ian Curtis.

To sum up – Polish doesn’t mean worse! It was worth waiting for this album.

I highly recommend it!
