Kobong

Polish experimental/avant-garde metal group active in the mid-1990s. Released two albums including Chmury Nie Bylo; the band disbanded at the end of 1997 and some members later joined Nyia and Neuma.

Chmury Nie Bylo was released in Poland on Metal Mind and later reissued by Offmusic (per the review). The band's music is noted for polyrhythms, precise/drum-machine-like precision, and eclectic influences; contemporary reviewers compared aspects of their sound to Meshuggah, Sepultura, Prong and Faith No More.

DeBaser hosts a strongly positive review of Kobong's second album Chmury Nie Bylo. The review highlights polyrhythms, precise ("robotic") drums and broad stylistic influences. The album and its production are praised as innovative and superior quality.

For:Listeners of experimental/avant-garde/progressive metal and fans of polyrhythmic heavy music.
