Kalapács

József Kalapács is a key figure of Hungarian metal! He was a member of legendary band Pokolgép (still active) performing vocals on the first official full-length metal album ever to be released in Hungary (Pokolgép - 1986 - Totális metal). After leaving Pokolgép in 1990 he formed Omen along with other ex-Pokolgép members, a band he released 5 albums with. (Pokolgép continued to exist with new vocalist Joe Rudán). After releasing Idegen anyag in 1997 he left Omen.
Kalapács is his current metal band (could also be viewed as his solo band). It all started as a project back in 2000 when he and other Hungarian metal artist decided to record some classic unreleased Pokolgép songs and release them on a disk. Since Pokolgép was still an active band, they decided to release it under József's name. Later József decided to continue with this band and released further records.
