25 years after its original release, ROOT's 1990-debut album "Zjeveni" will once again be available on wax! Being persecuted and oppressed by the communist Czechoslovakian (Big Boss was once labeled as "The Satan-Agent from the West" by the authorities) government and real difficulties obtaining a proper studio and reasonable recording equipment - the most miserable conditions imaginable really - didn't stop ROOT from making one of the most evil and individualistic black metal creations ever, with rotten riffs stinking of the old and grey Eastern Block - in the most positive sense. It wouldn't be misguided to name them Bathory (or Hellhammer) from behind the Iron Curtain. "Zjeveni" is a definite must for fans of early primitive black metal; an album portraying the region and era.
