Skrol

Skrol is a martial industrial band formed in the mid-1990s, specifically based on the creative remains of another project. The band consists of Vladimír Hirsch as the primary composer and keyboard player, Martina Sanollová as the vocalist, and Tom Saivon as the manager and lyricist. Their music integrates neoclassical elements with industrial structures, featuring heavy martial rhythms alongside symphonic arrangements of electronics, classical organ, strings, and brasses. The intense atmosphere is highlighted by the passionate and fiery vocals. Skrol is known for albums like "Insomnia Dei," which is considered a powerful martial industrial work, and "Dances and Marches for the Orphan Age," a project that took years to compile due to the diverse visions of its members. Their live performances often included ritualistic elements and kinetic theatrics.

Notable releases by Skrol include "Eschaton," "Apostasy," "Live," "Dances and Marches for the Orphan Age," "Insomnia Dei," and compositions like "The Rite of Love and Death." These works showcase Skrol's unique blend of modern classical music with industrial and ritual elements, offering a complex and emotionally charged listening experience.
