[spoiler="Об исполнителе (группе)"]
Virgin Snatch was formed in 2001 as an alternative to permanently rehearsing but yet legendary in Kraków band named Death Sea. Why? The basis of mentioned were guitarist Grysik (Grzegorz Bryla) and vocalist Zielony (Lukasz 'Zielony' Zielinski) and both of them joined Virgin Snatch.
Through band's line-up passed many acknowledged musicians, e.g. Pawel Maciwoda, known from Walk Away and thousands of other projects in Poland and abroad, who currently is a member of The Scorpions!
In June 2002 Virgin Snatch recorded couple of demo pieces, but the line-up solidified on the beginning of 2003. Titus (Acid Drinkers) became bassist, Grysik (Death Sea, Anal Stench) operated guitar, Zielony (Death Sea, Anal Stench) did the vocal jobs, and drums was Jacko's role, who was one of band's founders.
In such line-up Virgin Snatch started works on stuff, which finally was released on 6th December 2003. Album recorded at Lynx Studio in Kraków was full of guests, i.a. Jacek Hiro (Sceptic), Yanuary (Thy Disease) and Jaro.Slav (Lux Occulta). The music was a modern thrash metal. Stage debut of the band was in Wisla's Hall in Kraków, where the band supported Rage and Helloween.
In 2004 Jacek Hiro became band's full-member. In such line-up Virgin Snatch performed numerous gigs, e.g. in Proxima Club, Warszawa, where supported Anthrax.
A proof that VS is a true-born metal band is its second release - "Art Of Lying". The album is much more brutal than the first one and contains lots of thrash/death riffs, multitude of solos and growlings. All was recorded in Hertz Studio of Wieslawscy Bros [Vader, Decapitated] and presents very heavy and juicy sound. "Art Of Lying" is an obligatory position for fans of american school of thrash, like Testament, Exodus or Overkill. As the band says, this album is its real debut, which describes its own style. Released exclusively as digipack, with very good reviews and a tour being prepared for autumn promises a good future for Virgin Snatch...
The year of 2006 comes with a tour beside Behemoth (together with Hermh and Corruption) finished as a big success with full halls on gigs. Warm welcomed band just confirmed its commitment to building the metal scene and uderground. Moments later gorgeous (OWING TO YOU - MANIACS!!!) gig on Przystanek Woodstock 2006 for several tens of thousands of audience and on Hunter Fest 2006 in Szczytno. Let this go on... And finally new album titled significantly "In The Name Of Blood" (20th Nov 2006). This longplay is very important to us but primarily it's targetet to you because together only we can make the metal scene lasts. The top and the bottom, the stage and the floor, the band and the audience...!
"In The Name Of Blood is excellently welcomed and gives to band new energy. After that band records professional clip to "Purge My Stain", which promotes Virgin Snatch and new album on MTV, 4 Fun TV and the biggest sited in Poland. Director of that clip is Bogumil Godfrejow, many times rewarded in Poland and in other countries operator, who got nomination to Oscar in 2002... Band plays many concerts. For example: Mystic Tour - 30-day tour with Hunter, Frontside and Rootwater (fuckin' great!), in Czech Republic Interiff Festival and famous Masters Of Rock 2007 (there were also Motorhead and Sepultura) and gig in Katowice's Spodek. There Virgin Snatch supports Behemoth, Celtic Frost and great Slayer!!! We're also on another edition of Hunter Fest, where we shared the stage with Acid Drinkers, Behemoth, Samael, Sepultura...
Winter of 2007 comes with Metalfilia 2007 - the first tour with VS as a headliner! Ten gigs in the biggest cities of Poland in international company: THY DISEASE (co-headliner, Pol), RASTA (Belarus), MAHAVATAR (USA), METAL SAFARI (Japan), NONE (Pol), JLS (Spain). Beginning of 2008 is 7th Jan and Stodoła Club in Warsaw. Charity gig and kind of the best of polish metal (VADER, BEHEMOTH, FRONTSIDE, VIRGIN SNATCH) dedicated to Vitek (drummer of Decapitated who passed away in car accident) R.I.P...
Concurrently Virgin Snatch begin recordings of new album - "Act Of Grace". The band once again has to change line-up - bassist Anioł has to leave band due to personal reasons and is replaced by Novy (ex-Behemoth, ex-Vader). In this line-up VS records their fourth longplay. As always the band has a ballad on album - this one's called 'It's Time'. This special song is dedicated to Vitek Kiełtyka (R.I.P.) - drummer of Decapitated. Impressive solo in the song played his brother - Wacek Kiełtyka, who's known in metal world as Vogg. 'Act Of Grace' gets only positive reviews in Poland and world. Virgin Snatch starts live assault promoting new cd. Virgin Snatch tours whole Poland on 'Act Of Grace Tour' and gives many shows with the biggest bands in country (TSA, Acid Drinkers, Behemoth, Vader, KAT, Hunter, Hate, Frontside and much more). VS is also headlining one of the oldest metal festivals in Poland called 'Sthrashydło'. In the beginning of 2010 the band also headlines winter tour called 'Creative Act Of Music Tour 2010' where also were Thy Disease and Armagedon. All bands were showing pure destruction on many stages in Poland... to be continued

THRASH TILL DEATH!!

[spoiler="Об альбоме (сборнике)"]
The average person would scoff at a name like Virgin Snatch, and unfourtanetly for them, they have. There's really no doubt that their 'offensive' name scars their reputation, and leaves many missing out on the unique approach to modern - and new age thrash alike, that Virgin Snatch have established as their own. With three previous releases under their belt, S.U.C.K, The Art Of Lying, and In The Name Of Blood, the band has proved that they are amongst the better bands this millenium has to offer, in terms of thrash. Act Of Grace does nothing but solidify that belief, and prove to skeptics that, once you learn to look past the name, this is a band with something unique and fresh to bring to the table.

Act Of Grace picks up where In The Name Of Blood left off, intense rhythmic guitar work, with beautiful melodies delivered by either the lead guitar, or Zielony's improved clean vocals. To those who are unfirmiliar with Virgin Snatch, they incorporate powerful, and heavy guitar work with complimentary drumwork and basslines, with melodic hooks and alternating vocal styles between a soothing clean and a harsh snarl. The production and mixing is just as one would hope for, everything is mixed flawlessly. Vocals are loud enough to not be drowned out in the mix, but not overpowering. The tone of the drums feels like taking a jackhammer to the chest, and the guitar tone is no exception to this, either. At first glance, this album is everything In The Name Of Blood is, but that is certainly incorrect.

Granted, this album does share some shocking similarities to the release before it, but that's merely the band recognizing their unique style, and capturing it to use to their advantage. Unlike many bands who tend to milk their original styles and tend to grow old and predictable over time, V.S. have learnt to utilize their clever approach to a classic genre without growing stale. Infact, noticable improvements are at every turn - from Zielony's stronger clean vocals, to vocals that don't reek of broken english and lack of depth. Of course, hailing from Poland, one would be foolish to expect the band to speak fluent english, and that a heavy accent should be expected, but it seems far less prominent than past releases.

Virgin Snatch continue to show off their diversity on this album, with yet another mellow track titled It's Time. Past mellower songs from the band have lost their emotion through poorly written lyrics, and while the instrumentation and concepts were powerful and thought-provoking, they didn't always hit home quite like one would expect. The closing track is where they showcase their improvement the most, as the vocal delivery is much stronger on this track than past slow tracks. The instrumentation is more powerful, and the lyrics are intelligently strung together, leaving one's doubts (if they could possibly have any) that this band doesn't deserve recognition, in the dust. This album is the furthest thing from a clone of In The Name Of Blood. Instead, it's a giant step forward as a band, towards a more defined and captivating sound and style.

In conclusion, this album is easily the best release of 2008 that I have heard. I had high hopes for this album, but it was hard to get an idea of what was to come. I can sincerely say that this album not only met my expectations, but it surpassed them by a landslide. If you are a fan of melodic, and technical thrash metal, I recommend you check out this album. You will not be disappointed.
