Bio

Armia est un groupe de punk rock et hardcore polonais, originaire de Varsovie. Actif depuis 1984, il reprend des influences d'autres genres (musique gothique, reggae, heavy metal, rock, jazz-rock) avec le chanteur Tomasz Budzyński.

Il est cité comme l'un des groupes les plus influents de la scène indépendante des années 1980. Au début des années 1990, en pleine vague de la popularité des genres rock, il connait également le succès sur la scène musicale, notamment grâce à l'album Legenda. Depuis le milieu des années 1990, il perd en popularité ; cependant, dans certains milieux, il est toujours considéré comme le meilleur groupe de la scène indépendante polonaise.

Armia (English: Army) is a Polish punk rock band founded in 1985 by Tomasz Budzyński, Sławomir Gołaszewski and Robert Brylewski. Armia is famous for its use of horn, which was unusual of punk rock bands in late 1980s and 1990s. With poetic (often inspired by philosophy and literature) lyrics, written by Budzyński, and evolving, creative music Armia has gained popularity and respect over the years, and its concerts now attract numerous fans of rock music.

Armia's lyrics and cover art has frequently alluded to philosophy, literature and religion. The cover of the LP Legenda (A Legend) features Don Quijote and some lyrics were inspired by gnosticism. The title of the LP Czas i Byt (Being and Time) comes from Martin Heidegger's work Being and Time. Other sources of inspiration include the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Bible, The Divine Comedy and Samuel Beckett (Triodante), Tove Jansson's The Moomins, films like Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God or Marek Piwowski's Rejs.

Although the basis of Armia's sound has always been punk rock, the band's changing musicians have brought with them numerous other styles and material: hardcore, heavy metal, keyboard riffs, sampling, and complex, quasi-orchestral arrangements. Therefore, each of the band's albums sounds different from the rest.
