Embark on a soul-stirring odyssey into the profound realms of progressive black metal with “Coming Out – Love & Hate Diaries” the jewel case CD release from Theogonia Records. Available from February 16, 2024, this 52-minute work of art is the haunting creation of UKĆ, a one-man progressive black metal project emerging from the enigmatic landscapes of Białystok, Poland.

Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki, a luminary in metal circles for his contributions to bands like Corruption, Christ Agony, and Devilish Impressions, embarked on the solitary journey of UKĆ in 2017. This solo project is a testament to his unparalleled musical prowess and profound creativity, where every instrument—from vocals and drums to guitars, bass, and keyboards—is masterfully wielded by a singular artist.

As Theogonia Records is thrilled to announce this addition to our family of darkness and intensity, “Coming Out – Love & Hate Diaries” transcends mere musical composition. The enigmatic mastermind behind UKĆ, Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki, has taken the metal world by storm, weaving a narrative that goes beyond sound.

The sonic evolution of UKĆ began with the tantalizing EP “Przemijanie” on November 30, 2022, offering a glimpse into the depths of Łukasz’s musical psyche. Following this success, the Polish version of the debut full-length album, “Coming Out,” was unveiled on April 17, 2023.

However, the story doesn’t culminate here. Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki, a visionary artist hungry to push boundaries, meticulously crafted the English version of “Coming Out” entitled “Coming Out – Love & Hate Diaries.” This transformative masterpiece, aimed at open minds, breaks stylistic boundaries, fusing progressive metal with a rock flair and a black metal aura.

The album unfolds with emotive tales woven into every note. “King For A Day…” leads the journey, followed by the poignant “Fading Away”. “Uncertainty” introduces a collision of genres, while “Deaf Eyes” unveils a sonic tapestry of darkness. “To The Fall” continues the narrative, leading to the haunting echoes of “Why” and the introspective depths of “Withering”. The album concludes with “…Fool For A Lifetime”, leaving listeners in contemplative awe.

Speaking about the album, Icanraz shares, “The album contains 8 extensive compositions filled to the brim with emotions and very personal lyrics. It’s progressive metal with a rock flair and black metal aura where stylistic boundaries seem to be non-existent. This music is aimed at people with open minds and is my absolute artistic coming out. It was the first time I stepped out of my comfort zone and did something of this magnitude”.

The credits of this musical opus read like an artistic collaboration of minds and talents—music and lyrics by UKĆ, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Piotr Polak at Dobra 12 Studio, captivating photos by Robert Zembrzycki & Kobaru, SFX make-up by the creative hands of kobaru.pl, and the striking layout & logo by Seeg Design—all produced under the visionary guidance of UKĆ.
