Background notes

Archive material and source history

Zywiolak formed in 1982 around singer-songwriter Robert Matera, who had an interest in Polish folklore and traditional music. Their sound developed in Poland's underground music culture during that period, drawing from folk influences and darker themes. The band's 1995 album 'Dybuk' brought them wider recognition, with the title track becoming particularly noted for its atmospheric quality and Matera's vocal delivery.

Their music has been described as a mix of gothic folk and dark wave, with songs like 'Czarodzielnica' and 'Ballada o glupim Wieslawie' showing their range. They've released several albums including 'Phantom' in 1997, 'Czarne słońce' in 2000, and 'Wiedźma' in 2003. The current lineup includes Robert Matera on vocals and guitar, Agata Matera on keyboards and vocals, Krzysztof 'Kefir' Kwiatkowski on bass, and Michał 'Kruk' Kruk on drums.

Their work continues to explore unsettling themes while maintaining a connection to Polish folk traditions.
