We received the following message from Polish medieval folk rock metallers Pospolite Ruszenie.
“We are still working on our debut LP; right now we are half-way through the mix stage, which is still going to take several days. This will be followed by feedback/minor corrections stage, then mastering, etc. The botom line is, it’s going to be a while until the actual CD is avalable for you to purchase… A pain, isn’t it? We just cannot wait to share our new songs with you guys! Really, we LITERALLY cannot wait – and so we’ve decided not to! We asked Krzysztof – Studio Roslyn to speed up work on 2 of our new tracks and – guess what – he’s made it!
That’s why on Sunday morning (Easter Sunday) we are going to upload the first promo edited song off the new album. This is going to be our interpretation of the Polish Renaissance love song titled “Dobranoc Ci, Anusieńku” (“Good Night, Annie”).
The track will be available for you to check out on our Facebook profile, our official Youtube channel, as well as on our website. Brace yourselves! Like it, share it, spread it!

Pospolite Ruszenie (Levy in mass) has brought together musicians from two completely different musical worlds: that of rock, and that of early music. The band’s line up comprises members of the cult band Open Folk and rock bands such as Illuminandi and Rumor.
Their music fuses (hard) rock with mediaeval, renaissance and baroque music; a classic rock line-up is accompanied by musicians performing on replicas of period instruments. They use original Old Polish poetry for their lyrics. The band released their first EP – Swiebodnosc in 2011 (the title comes from medieval song popular in XV century and means a generosity or a magnanimity).
Line-up: Jan Trebacz – vocals, hurdy-gurdy Pawel Iwaszkiewicz – bagpipes, flutes, schawms Regina Szlachta – vielle, viola da gamba (treble and tenor), violone Krzysztof Kramarz – electric guitars (6 and 7 string), acoustic guitars Papirus – drums Bako – bass guitar.
