Rootwater was a Polish nu metal band, formed in Warsaw in 2002[2] by Sebastian Zusin, Tomasz "Yońca" Jońca and Paweł Jurkowski. Soon, Maciej Taff has joined the band as a vocalist. In their music there are many hardcore, thrash, folk and punk, and even ambient influences clearly audible. The name of the band comes from a card captioned "Rootwater Commando". The band is famous for their psychedelic album covers. Many critics are comparing Rootwater's music to System of a Down's music, which is probably caused by a similar use of native "folkish" melodies by both groups. Rootwater's vocalist, Maciej Taff usually sings in English, but some songs refer to Hebrew (Hava Nagila),[3] or are sung in traditional Roma language (Caje Sukarije), Polish, or French (Climchoque).
