Review by Barbara Garcia

Kríza Vedomia by Davová Psychóza: A Raw, Unfiltered Punk Rock Rager That’ll Mess With Your Head (In a Good Way) Let’s get one thing straight—Kríza Vedomia isn’t here to hold your hand or whisper sweet nothings into your ear. This 2014 album from the Slovak-Polish-Czech chaos machine known as Davová Psychóza is like getting hit by a runaway train fueled by adrenaline, anger, and just enough existential dread to make you question everything. It’s hardcore punk meets raw rock energy, with lyrics that slap you awake and riffs sharp enough to cut glass. The band’s lineup reads like a DIY anarchist collective: Rasťo handles bass and vocals like he’s channeling some kind of possessed poet-prophet, while Martin takes on drums, tam-tam (yes, really), AND keyboards because apparently multitasking is his superpower. Marcel shreds guitar duties, and Martin Šebeň pops up in the “Other” category, which honestly sounds like the title of an experimental art project rather than a credit. Labels? They’ve got four of ‘em—Alternati Projekt, Masaryk's, Papagájův Hlasatel Records, Echo 77 Rec.—because why stop at one when you can confuse everyone instead? Now let’s talk tracks. There are plenty to choose from, but two stood out like sore thumbs—or maybe middle fingers. First up: “Práca (Arbeit Macht Frei)”. Oh boy, where do I even start? The title alone hits hard, referencing those chilling words from concentration camp gates. But this ain’t history class—it’s a gut-punch anthem about modern-day grind culture. Rasťo spits out the lyrics like they’re poison, backed by relentless drumming and jagged guitars that feel like they’re clawing their way through concrete. You don’t just listen to this track; it slaps you upside the head and forces you to pay attention. By the time it ends, you’ll either want to smash something or quit your job. Maybe both. Then there’s “Žiť Neznamená Trpieť”, which roughly translates to “To Live Doesn’t Mean To Suffer.” Sounds uplifting, right? Wrong. This song feels like staring into the abyss while the abyss stares back—and then flips you off for good measure. The melody builds slowly, almost hypnotically, before exploding into pure cathartic rage. Rasťo’s voice cracks under the weight of the lyrics, making it sound less like singing and more like screaming into the void. And yet… it works. Somehow, it’s oddly comforting, like hearing someone else admit they’re barely holding it together too. What makes Kríza Vedomia stick in my brain isn’t just the music—it’s the vibe. This album doesn’t try to be perfect. Hell, it doesn’t even try to be likable half the time. Instead, it’s messy, chaotic, and brutally honest, like flipping through someone’s diary without asking. Tracks repeat themselves (looking at you, “Ilúzia Alebo Realita”), bonus tracks show up uninvited, and the whole thing feels stitched together with duct tape and sheer willpower. But damn if it doesn’t leave a mark. So what’s the takeaway here? Well, listening to Kríza Vedomia feels like surviving a storm—you come out battered but alive, with a weird sense of accomplishment. Or maybe it’s like eating spicy food: painful at first, but once you adjust, you realize how much flavor was hiding underneath. Either way, it’s worth checking out—even if only to figure out what the hell a “tam-tam” actually is. Final thought: If this album were a person, it’d probably be banned from most public spaces. But hey, sometimes the best art comes from the stuff we’re not supposed to like.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that the album *Kríza Vedomia* by Davová Psychóza is a wild mix of punk and hardcore, with tracks that feel like a chaotic journey through Europe's darker corners? It’s raw, intense, and pulls no punches. The band recorded it in 2014, and it got released across Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. What’s cool is how everyone in the band seems to wear multiple hats—like Martin, who handles drums, tam-tam, keyboards, *and* some extra magic. And Rasťo? He’s killing it on bass *and* vocals. With songs like "Práca (Arbeit Macht Frei)" and "Žiť Neznamená Trpieť," it’s not just music; it’s a statement. Oh, and fun detail: they even threw in a bonus track for good measure!

No tak tohle je každopádně pro mě srdcovka, jedna z nejlepších punkových skupin, co kdy v Československu hrála a hlavně hraje... a hlavně nikdy nesešla z cesty!

Výborná pecka od mé oblíbené Davovky. Mám rád tu zvonivou kytaru a Kossův zpěv. Ať jim to hraje a těším se na nové album 2019.
