Shallov is the only band in Slovakia that makes us cry.
Take 3 extremely talented musicians, place them in a studio, and this is what you get. Music that is very real, bone-marrow deep, emotions that make you ππππ. The barrenness of the world, the heaviness this existentialism inevitably creates, and all of the gloom it opens within you.
The point is >> Shallov does not attempt to invent anything new. They know exactly what they want // feel and are extremely good at transferring all of it into their music // art. There is no fuss. No superficial honour. (Yet, there is so much of it. Only, it is all very inconspicuous).
Shallov is Viktor Ori, DuΕ‘an Ori, and Erik Bachorec.
