Biało-czarna
Biało-czarna is the first album of a Polish thrash metal band Kat & Roman Kostrzewski. It was released on 11 April 2011, under the label of Mystic Production.[2]
The album's name is a wordplay on the term "Biało-czerwona" (White-and-red), which is used to refer to the Polish flag or anything representing Poland in general, ie the national football team or the army. Black replaces Red, as the black color is used to represent the Catholic church and its priests in black cassocks. The album cover features the Polish flag in greyscale, with a cross over the white eagle - hence the title, overall symbolizing "parasitic" influence of the Church over the country. The lyrics mostly touch these themes, including child molestation, criminal impunity and corruption.
