SEXIT

The sleeve is so... not ugly, not "kult", just so uncool. So much in fact that it goes right back to cool again, and one can't help fantasizing about the though-process behind it:

"Hm, so, we'll have like... a picture! Of us! And um... on top we'll put like, a LOGO! With letters in it!"

OK, I'm starting to sound like bully now so I'll stop there. Most likely the band wasn't involved with the album design but had to go with what was handed to them by the then moribound Opus label. Actually, going by what's currently featured on the Opus page on discogs, this might be the very last vinyl LP that the label produced(!) so circumstances surrounding its release might have been a bit messy. It's also a likely explaination as to why the album is so stupid rare today. Another funny issue connected to this: the phonographic copyright of the record is dated 1992, while the date code (93-1) on the labels indicates is was manufactured in early 1993, thus straddling the eve of the Slovakian nation.

Regardless of its strict national inherence, this album is as archetypical as East European Steel gets. Familiar with the contemporary band/project TERMINAL? They're a Swedish (of course..) mock-East-Euro-Metal band, complete with GoogleTranslate-Slovakian lyrics and all, and while I'm not sure they're familiars, Sexit sound like the ideal blueprint for Terminal. Fans of Magnit and Aria as well as Metalinda's and Tublatanka's most epic moments Shall - Not - Pass! When combining the epic with the melancholic with the folkish (sorta') in gems like "Ostrov", "V Chráme Čiernych Mramorov" and "Tri Sviece" they also bring our favourite italians Adramelch to mind. Frankly this is a diversified, all-killers-no-fillers album with only the somewhat overly mellow chorus of "Kraska" being its one tiny beauty spot.

Unfortunately the remaining discography of the band - an handful of CD-releases from between the years 1996-2011 aren't nearly as interesting and mostly falls into the generic 'guitar-oriented' ( = waaaaay to many solos) Hard Rock pit.
