boguslaw balcerakBoguslaw Balcerak is a Polish guitarist born in 1972. As a teenager he played in the band Holocaust. In 1989 Boguslaw saw Yngwie J. Malmsteen playing for the first time. It got him intrigued and it changed his guitar playing. In the early 90’s he evolved and developed his own style. Plenty of recording demos were made back then. Some of them caught the attention of Mike Varney. Although no records were made, he continued mastering his guitar technique. At that time, he also worked with different bands. He recorded and toured with the Polish band Hetman.

In 2008 he started his own band Boguslaw Balcerak’s CRYLORD. First record „Blood of the Prophets” was released in 2011 through Lion Music and consisted of neo-classical, progressive and heavy rock compositions. The singing parts were performed by Carsten “Lizard” Schulz, Göran Edman and Mark Boals. In 2014 CRYLORD recorded second album „Gates of Valhalla” released through Power Prog Label. Boguslaw continued his musical direction taken on the previous record. Carsten “Lizard” Schulz, Göran Edman, Mark Boals, Rick Altzi and Ricky Wychowaniec were the singers.

In 2017 Boguslaw recorded with Hetman’s singer Robert Tyc. Album “Rock Fever” consisted of less progressive and less heavy compositions and ventured more into hard rocking songs. In 2020 Boguslaw Balcerak started working on his new CRYLORD record “Human Heredity” with Göran Edman, David Akesson (Qantice), Jota Fortinho (Capella), Ryan Beck (Arkangela), Rick Altzi (Masterplan, Herman Frank), Tim „Ripper” Owens (Iced Earth, Yngwie Malmsteen Judas Priest, KKPriest). “Human Heredity” was released in February of 2022 through Pride § Joy Music. Right after that he began recording an album called “Ashes II Ashes”. This time he teamed up with Göran Edman, Mark Boals, Rick Altzi, David Akesson and Ricky Wychowaniec. New addition to the record was the presence of Harry “The Tyrant” Conklin (Jag Panzer). “Ashes II Ashes” got released on June the 30th 2023.
