Pokolgép is one of the earliest and most influential heavy metal bands to emerge from Hungary, forming in the early 1980s. Widely credited as pioneers of Hungarian metal, the band gained a loyal following with their powerful riffs, melodic solos, and lyrics that resonated with fans through themes of rebellion, freedom, and introspection. Their 1986 debut album, "Totális Metál," is regarded as a landmark release in Hungarian rock history and helped define the sound of Eastern European metal during the decade.
Over the years, Pokolgép has experienced several lineup changes but has maintained a strong presence in the Hungarian metal scene, continuing to release new music and perform live. They’ve built a reputation for energetic shows and a passionate fanbase. Albums like "Metálbomba" and "Pokoli mesék," along with their anniversary live album "35 (Jubileumi koncert)," showcase the band's evolution while staying true to their metal roots. Pokolgép’s legacy as trailblazers of Hungarian heavy metal remains firmly intact.
