But from the beginning...
The band was established by Jacek Sławeński (drums) and Bartek aka Sponsor, which came up with setting a new project. Of course neither without a name nor people to be engaged into. First musician that joined brand new band was Paweł 'Baby' Mąciwoda, known from such bands like Walk Away, Oddział Zamknięty and thousands of other projects in Poland and abroad. More less at the same time Bartas asked to cooperation Tomek "Oley" Olejnik, vocalist of very popular in Poland - Proletaryat. Grysik took on playing the seven strings guitar. Around november band started to rehearse. First rehearsals has been very exhausting, both to physical and mental sanity and caused depressive moods and loss of faith into all universal values. Unfortunately, the situation put down musicians to part with Paweł. His place in the band took quickly up Tomek 'Titus' Pukacki, charismatic leader of very acknowledged band - Acid Drinkers. In such established crew, artists started to compose. The effect of works was a demo released in June 2002. In consequence of lasting for some time perturbations caused by self-known reasons Oley left Virgin Snatch behind. The band left with no choice, accepted this decission and started to looking for a new vocalist. In result, after rejecting some not very inquisitive candidatures, duties of band's frontman and lead vocalist are devoted to Zielony.
The changeover of bassist and vocalist causes Virgin Snatch takes the sound and in such established crew starts to work on new musical stuff which is finally released on 6th of December 2003.

Virgin Snatch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time is coming
It came to pass one fateful day
Still remaining
I still see Your skills
I have to dry my tears
Why did You give no hint that day?
Did You loose the path?
Or Did You go astray?
IF I COULD BREAK DOWN THESE FUCKING WALLS
SHOUT YOUR NAME AT HEAVEN'S GATE
& CALLING YOU AND CHANGE THE FATE
The time is coming
Another pack of cigarettes
The smoke is running
But Heaven. Forever
Waits for those who're young
The time is running
I can't believe You will not be here alive
Waking up and falling asleep
EVERY BREATH CAN BE THE LAST
FORTHCOMING MEMORIES
OUR LIFE HAS GONE TOO FAST
STILL RUNNING. FOLLOWING
I CANNOT MAKE UP THE FIRE
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE PARADISE
YOU ARE WANTED STILL ALIVE
Why cannot you shoulder the blame
The river meets the sea again
So don't ask me about tomorrow
Now there is nothing left to say.
You grow much stronger every day
The shadow still resembles you
[Solo: Vogg (Wacek Kiełtyka)]
The song "It's Time" by Virgin Snatch is a tribute to Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka, who was the drummer for the metal band Decapitated. He passed away on November 2, 2007, in a tragic car accident while on tour in Russia. The lyrics express the band's grief and sense of loss over the untimely death of their friend and fellow musician.
The song opens with the line "The time is coming," which refers to the inevitability of death and how it came to pass on that fateful day. The lyrics then express the feeling of Vitek's skills still lingering, and the need to dry tears. The singer wonders why there were no hints that Vitek's time was running out and speculates whether he lost his way or went astray. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to break down walls, shout out Vitek's name, and change fate.
The second verse begins with the line "The time is coming, another pack of cigarettes," which suggests a sense of continuity even in the midst of loss. The singer acknowledges that Heaven forever waits for those who are young and expresses disbelief that Vitek will never be alive again. The chorus hints at the fleeting nature of life and how memories remain as life speeds by. The final lines of the song express a sense of frustration over the inevitability of death and the inability to bring Vitek back to life.

Ta piosenka może być dla Virgin Snatch tym czym dla Metalliki było "Nothing Else Matters". Jeżeli miecz przechowuje wojownika to instrument robi to samo z duszą muzyka. Słychać jak dusza Vogg'a płacze...

kawałek genialny, a solo po prostu miażdży, aż ciary przechodzą po plecach ...
