Guitarist / Vocalist / Composer / Sound Engineer

Hermetic Evolution (guitars/synths)

Wojciech was born in Rzeszow, Poland. Some might say that he arrived on this world with a guitar in hand, but that's not the truth. He started his journey with classic guitar at the age of twelve and soon discovered his love for metal music. A few years later he managed to obtain his first electric guitar - a cort X2 and small Laney LX12 combo amp. Wojciech soon realized that if he want to get a "huge" metal tone then he will need to use something to drive his amplifier. Without knowing what to exactly choose he went for a foolproof solution - a cheap multieffect pedal. And with simple Korg AX3G his love for tinkering in details of tone has begun.
That love has driven him to purchasing multiple different amps, modelers, guitars and not much later - his first audio interface. However - the thirst for the perfect tone was still not quenched so he decided to get a proper audio engineering education.
In the meantime Wojciech have played for multiple bands - not only as the guitarist (K.O.D, Hermetic Evolution, Crue, M/Syco), but also as vocalist (M/Syco) and keyboardist (Crue).
Each project he took part in forced him to explore completely new realms of guitar sound and it seems that this journey is going to be a neverending one.
