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!".

VICTOR SMOLSKI announces new album "Guitar Force"!

On February 3rd 2023, former RAGE member guitar virtuoso Victor Smolski, will release his new album, entitled Guitar Force, via Massacre Records! The album pre-save is now available here » https://lnk.to/guitarforce
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.
Guitar Force was produced and mixed by Victor Smolski at Unity Music School Studio, and was mastered by Martin Buchwalter at Gernhart Studio. The cover artwork of "Guitar Force" was designed by Gyula Havancsák!

Eifel Rallye Festival

This year's Eifel Rallye Festival 2022 was a mega event for motorsportfans and drivers! The FIA is celebrating the 50. jubilee of the Rallye world championship. Just everything was perfect: super weather, roaring engines, special cars with top stars like Thierry Neuville, enthusiastic motorsport fans and cool parties with live music! For me personally, it was great fun to push the pedal to the metal at this challenging course. Thanks to the crew for support and to the fans, who visit us at the pit lane! See you at the next action  at the international mountain race in Osnabrück at the 6./7. August!

ALMANAC - release previously unreleased version of "Kingdom Of The Blind"

Victor Smolski's ALMANAC present a previously unreleased version of 'Kingdom Of The Blind', which originally was part of 2017's "Kingslayer" album featuring vocalist Frank Beck (GAMMA RAY) as well as new arrangements.
Victor Smolski comments:
"On our European Tour 2020, Frank Beck became the main singer of ALMANAC. 'Kingdom Of The Blind' was his favourite song from ALMANAC. So, we decided to do a new version of this song with great support from Belarus Symphony Orchestra, which brings the song to a new level."

A lyric video for the track can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/FtmG417tBUE

The track is available as digital single on all platforms now. Furthermore, a demo version of the song is part of PowerMetal.de's "Metal Alliance vol. 4" compilation that's available on CD at: https://shop-powermetal.de/

Hi everybody, next weekend, we are battling for victory in Buxtehude again. Thanks to all fans at the race course and to my sponsors. I really feeled honord, that I was admitted into the world of Recaro together with legends as Walter Röhrl, Armin Schwarz, Timo Bernhard ...

https://www.recaro-automotive.com/en/recaro/world-of-recaro


Finally on the race track again! It's realy good to step on the gas, blowing free the head, and flying through the rallye tests. Reaching the 3. place in total, the first race appearance this year was real successful. Thanks to Armin Schwarz for organization of Rallye Sprint Cups, to Günter Beckers for the perfect prepared car, as well as Thomas Gorlt for the great photos. As it is real difficult, planing dates during this damned Lockdown, I not only start at the German Rallycross Mastership, but also at Rallyes and mountain-races. I hope, that anytime spectators can be at the race track again! We see us!

almanac

After 15 years and 10 CD’s as guitarist, producer and composer for the German Heavy Metal institution RAGE and with hits penned by him like “Down”, “Soundchaser”, “War of Worlds”, “Straight to Hell”, “Carved in Stone”, “Forever Dead”, “Empty Hollow” and “Cleansed by Fire”, Victor Smolski now continues his musical career with his new group ALMANAC.


ALMANAC add a powerful touch of heaviness to LMO’s unique sound. Melodic power metal in conjunction with classical orchestra and modern sound are making ALMANAC an absolute listening experience.
