ROMAN KOSTRZEWSKI, original vocalist for Polish metal legends KAT passed away 2/10/2022 at 61 as no cause no death has been given.
KAT unleashed "THE LAST CONVOY", 9/25/2020 via PURE STEEL RECORDS.
FROM KAT AND ROMAN KOSTRZEWSKI:
And it happened, what we didn't want to let to be aware of for a long time, we expected that things would turn out differently, and instead of this information you read information about upcoming concerts or album releases.
Unfortunately ...
It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we inform you that Romek has passed away today. He fell asleep peacefully, surrounded by good care and loved ones. He doesn't hurt anymore.
See you in Piekle my friend!
FROM DEUS MORTEM:
R.I.P. Roman Kostrzewski. This is not the end. Your spirit will always remain in our hearts.
FROM LEFT HAND SOUNDS:
If you don't want to read, know one thing: THERE IS NO, THERE WAS NO AND THERE WILL NOT BE A CAT WITHOUT A ROMAN.
Named the kingdoms of evil,
sounds warm - Roman.
Who has never shouted "The Voice of the Darkness" at the shining shield of the moon will not understand.
That's exactly what it feels like when you lose a piece of yourself. Roman Kostrzewski is not with us, a man who breathed the spirit of rebellion into several generations of fans. Let's be honest, none of us would be here - neither here on this site, nor at concerts, or at festivals or at your favorite pub - if it weren't for Roman.
Roman Kostrzewski imprint on you, even if you were not on the way with Kat. And that just happened.
Heavy metal in Poland started with Roman. Not from the first Maiden concert, not from Metallica in Spodk, 35 years ago exactly.
It's Roman who said the truth is Metal. And the Hell. And no one will deny it, no one will take it back from him.
Though broken hearts, they want to beat. Sleep like a rock, Roman.
We give you our tear, and our ship continues to flow.
We raise a spell from onyxus, maybe not necessarily from the blood of the virgin lungs, drinking blood for witches. For the black throne, with its shine (black? ) and the shadow whispering voices:
Drink to the blood we know.
For the black bell.
A cult will catch a sin.
I am a heavy metal.
We drink wine from the fruit of suffering like sin
Here you go Roman.
THANK YOU LORD FOR A WONDERFUL SHOW!
YOU WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER.
You were a funny shit, but today we don't have a laugh.
FROM LVCIFYRE:
Tonight we raise our chalice to Roman Kostrzewski.
One of the precursors of Satanic Speed Metal, leader of the legendary KAT, he was one of those who shaped our satanic consciousness back in the early ’90s. His art surely shaped what true Metal is today. Lvcifyre with honor paid tribute to the mighty KAT with one of their most uncompromising songs - “Murderer” from their wildest album “666”.
May your soul fly to the Devil!
I will see you in Hell!
FROM MOTOR ROCK CLUB:
Roman Kostrzewski 1960 - 2022
"My curve flows on, somewhere else
Heart, though it's broken, it wants to beat
You're gone and you're gone, it's night
I'm gone and I'm gone, it's a day"
FROM METAL ARCHIVES:
Yesterday Roman Kostrzewski passed away. One of the saddest days for the metal community in Poland. He was an icon. Best known as the vocalist of the band Kat for many years, he was a huge influence for a lot of metalheads.
Whether you like him or not, you can't deny the big influence his singing style, lyrics and stage antics had on so many since the '80s.
RIP
