Turbo is a seminal Polish heavy metal band, often hailed as one of the pillars of the genre in their home country. Formed in the early 1980s, Turbo has undergone several lineup changes over the years and has been able to maintain their status as a key influence in Poland’s metal scene. Their early work was characterized by a speed metal style, which has evolved to incorporate more complex arrangements and a more diverse heavy metal sound.

Throughout their career, Turbo has been prolific, releasing numerous albums that have left a significant mark on Polish heavy metal. Tracks such as "Dorosłe dzieci" have become anthems reflective of their generational impact. Albums like "Kawaleria szatana," which translates to "Satan's Cavalry," showcase the band's thematic boldness and their affinity for dark, pounding rhythms. In more recent ventures, like "Ostatni wojownik" and "The Fifth Element" (or "Piąty Żywioł" in Polish), they continue to explore and push the boundaries of the genre. The acoustic album "Akustycznie (Live)" reveals a more intimate side of the band, capturing the raw energy of their live performances. Turbo’s commitment to their craft and their ability to reinvent themselves within the metal genre keeps them relevant and beloved among both old and new generations of fans.
