Warsaw-based magnificent heavy unit Sunnata is back with their sophomore full-length entitled “Zorya”. Described as "deeper and heavier" by the band and largely influenced by Slavic myths, this is one record meant to cast a spell on all heavy music worshippers...
 
“"Zorya" is totally different than "Climbing the Colossus" from top to bottom”, says drummer Robert Ruszczyk about this new album. “Sound, songs, atmosphere and our approach has changed and evolved towards something deeper, yet less direct. It means that "Zorya" is definitely heavier, but not that aggressive”.
