History

The early years

In the late 70s, three young men decided to make music just for their own fun and the enjoyment of others. They were Gábor Kukovecz, Endre Paksi and Tibor Varga. Gábor Kukovecz (born May 2, 1959) is the lead guitarist and forming member of the Hungarian Heavy metal band Pokolgép. Endre Paksi (born December 10, 1958) is a Hungarian Heavy metal vocalist and formerly bass guitarist They decided to give the band the name "Pokolgép" (literally means Infernal Machine, but is the hungarian word for a home-made bomb). Kukovecz was taught to play the guitar by Prognózis fame István Vörös, who suggested a less offending name to them ("Kommandó"). They used it for some months, then returned to Pokolgép. The life of the band was very difficult because of their poverty and the government's negative aspect of the band. They were playing half-illegal concerts in the edge of Budapest, and after some time they became known. They had several dozens of drum players, and also a lot of guitarists, until they found László Nagyfi for playing the second guitar. In 1985, Paksi left the band due to personal conflicts (he couldn't agree with Kukovecz on the leading of the band), and György Pazdera arried to the bass guitar. György Pazdera (born March 18, 1957) was the bass guitarist for the Hungarian Heavy metal band Pokolgép between 1985 and 1994 Some months later, the drummer András Gyenizse emigrated to the USA, so Pazdera invited his old friend László Tarcza.
In 1983 the band placed runner-up in Ki Mit Tud (a talent-searching festival which was directed by the communist government), so they could record a song ("Kegyetlen asszony") which was released on a split 7" single. They also recorded two songs in the Hungarian Radio in 1984 ("Cirkusz és rács" and "A bűn"). In 1985 they recorded and released their first own disc, which was a single with two songs ("A Sátán" and "A maszk").

The first albums

A very special thing happened in 1986: the government allowed Hungaroton to release the first heavy metal album in Hungary. Hungaroton was the one and only record and music publisher company in Hungary for about 40 years This was the debut album of Pokolgép, titled Totális Metal. Totális Metal is the debut album of Hungarian heavy metal band Pokolgép. This was the time heavy metal bands started to come to the Eastern bloc (e. During the Cold War, the term Communist Bloc (or Soviet Bloc) was used to refer to the Soviet Union and countries it either controlled or that were g. Iron Maiden and Queen), mainly to Poland and Hungary. For other uses see Iron maiden. Queen were an English rock band formed in 1970 in London by guitarist Poland (Polska officially the Republic of Poland Hungary (Magyarország 'mɔɟɔrorsaːg) officially in English the Republic of Hungary ( Magyar Köztársaság, literally Magyar (Hungarian Republic Pokolgép played before Metallica and Motörhead in the late 1980s. Metallica is an American heavy metal band that formed in 1981 in. In 1987 Pokolgép released their second album, Pokoli színjáték. These two are considered to be the base of Hungarian heavy metal. The interesting fact of Pokoli színjáték is that it was firstly played in concert, and released days after.
In 1988-89, Pokolgép went for a tour in Europe, playing in the two German states, the Netherlands and Belgium, and released their third album in 1989 (title: Éjszakai bevetés). They recorded a concert at the end of 1989 in Petőfi Hall, and then released as the fifth album in 1990 with the title "Koncertlemez". Before releaseing the concert audio footage, they made their fourth album, "Metál az ész". This album was made in a rather bad atmosphere, as guitarist Nagyfi and vocalist Kalapács were about to quit the band.

Member switches

Nagyfi said in an interview that Kukovecz and he weren't agreed with the style of music to be played. Nagyfi said he liked the rawer, more impulsive and speedy songs, while Kukovecz liked the solos and melodies. This was the reason he left with Kalapács and formed Omen. Omen is an American Heavy metal band formed in 1983 by guitarist Kenny Powell So there were only three Pokolgép members: Tarcza, Pazdera and Kukovecz. They started to look for a new second guitarist, who became Péter Kun, but he was taken away after half a year to Edda művek. Péter Kun ( October 29, 1967 – July 10, 1993) was a Hungarian Hard rock Guitarist. EDDA is a highly successful Hungarian Rock band formed in 1974 under the name "EDDA Művek" The vocalist became József Rudán from a Led Zeppelin tribute band, Coda. József "Joe" Rudán ( June 5, 1963, Pécs) is the vocalist of Hungarian heavy metal band Pokolgép since 1990 Led Zeppelin were
