Hailing from Warsaw, Poland, thrash metal trio SPECIES was formed in 2018. After a couple of months of rehearsals, the band recorded their debut EP, entitled “The Monument of Envy”, which was then self-released on May 31st, 2019. On the very same day, SPECIES played their first-ever show in their hometown.
Drawing inspiration from cult thrash metal acts like CORONER, TOXIK, or XENTRIX and prog rock legends like KING CRIMSON, RUSH, and YES, SPECIES have created their first full-length album, entitled “To Find Deliverance”.
