Arakain is a czech heavy metal/hard rock band. Originally founded in 1982 in Prague, Czech Republic. The band could not release their own records due to censorship of communist regime in Czechoslovakia. That's why their first album "Thrash the trash" wasn't released until 1990. Songs from "communist era" were released later on double CD "A15 (vol. 1 & 2)" in 1997 and "Archeology" in 2002. Czech pop star Lucie Bílá appears as a guest on this record, she had cooperated with Arakain in the 1980's.
