Straight To Hell

the song "Straight To Hell", which I composed for studio album "Welcome to the Other Side" (Rage), became famous by the film "Der Schuh des Manitu" from Bully Herbig, the most successful German film, was used again in the film "Traumschiff Surprise". I'm already looking forward to the movie "The Canoe of Manitu", which will be released next year. Have fun with the new version I recorded with my band ALMANAC.
Here you find the new version of "Straight To Hell"

Perfect start in new race season 2023 with BMW M3 Type S

This was a perfect start at the cup- and touring car trophy within the frame of the 24h-race on Nürburgring circuit! Just back from European tour, where Victor Smolski presented his new CD "Guitar Force", he now came back to the Nürburgring circuit. Taking part at the 24h race for 11 times and lots of VLN races with several class victories, he knows the circuit very well, even, he spent the last 5 years at the German ralley cross mastership, where he won the runners up title. "Motorsport is the same creative process as the music. You have to learn the technics, after that improvisation is in demand. On stage, I have to calculate on my technicians, at a race on my mechanics. I really looking forward to the new season with Type S as partner. We will rock the circuit!".

Guitar Force includes the best guitar work Smolski has ever done, since it showcases his different styles of playing in such a versatility. Victor considers the record as a kind of best-of album where he presents many song ideas from RAGE, ALMANAC and Johann Sebastian Bach in new visions and shape. It's powerful yet aggressive and dynamic, from a hi-gain, crunchy fusion sound to nylon acoustic or the sitar, you find all guitar influences on his upcoming record. Razor-sharp melodies alternate with high-speed technical arrangements, along featuring several high-class guest musicians, making this album truly special.
