The band was formed in Krak\u00f3w, the capital of the Ma\u0142opolska region, by&nbsp;<strong>Krzysztof Leja<\/strong>; however, for the recording of the debut material he invited guest and session musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MAUSER<\/strong>&nbsp;is an uncompromising fusion of extreme metal &#8211; aggression, speed, and technical precision with maturity of sound and composition. Music that captures the rawness, anger, and smell of gunpowder, but without artificial glamour. A solid sound, authenticity, and the genocidal atmosphere of war make Mauser stand out where others only pretend to be true power. No posturing &#8211; just honest, hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All songs were written by the band\u2019s leader,&nbsp;<strong>Krzysztof Leja<\/strong>, who also recorded the bass and guitar parts, including the solos. The vocal parts were performed by&nbsp;<strong>Tymon Wiekiera<\/strong>, who is also responsible for the lyrical concept of the release. The drum tracks were recorded by&nbsp;<strong>Krzysztof Klingbein<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>Totenmesse<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Belphegor<\/strong>\u2013live, ex-<strong>Vader<\/strong>). Piano parts on the track \u201c<em>Prelude of Fear<\/em>\u201d were performed by&nbsp;<strong>Tomasz Kowalczyk<\/strong>. The EP was mixed and mastered by&nbsp;<strong>Witold Nowak<\/strong>&nbsp;at&nbsp;<strong>Bourbon Ranch Studio<\/strong>, who has previously worked with bands such as&nbsp;<strong>Hellhaim<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Kira<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Subterfuge<\/strong>. The artwork was created by&nbsp;<strong>DK13 Design<\/strong>, known for its cooperation with the Finnish band&nbsp;<strong>Horna<\/strong>. The band photo session was carried out by&nbsp;<strong>Mariusz Kucik<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debut EP &#8220;<strong><em>Casualties of War<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; was released on&nbsp;<strong>January 31st, 2026<\/strong>&nbsp;in digital format (<a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeG7ufUAJHwUGPkBNaSea\/xQw9fkVPO01a\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">link here<\/a>) &amp; on CD by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGEm7czGT6dkVZU7YlEq\/Cks9KrHl7YN5\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hagalaz Label<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGLdZloDeGnEbOmrX3p6\/FFbECJGUOi0z\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">buy here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below you can stream EP at Youtube.\u00a0All thanks to\u00a0<strong>Polish Media Promotion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MAUSER - &quot;Casualties of War&quot; EP (2026) Full Album\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kjQb9cq0EKA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BAND SOCIAL MEDIA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGZMU3S80b6Cn3OLTezc\/73UWfpFTaXh-\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGgDwCH5BlFgssh5RxZs\/XDjkDbTVU9E8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bandcamp<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGn5OL62MvPAyhzpQGA8\/qAL_r63xoqC3\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/7622f.r.a.d.sendibm1.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/SMK1E8tHeGtwqTuzY5Yf4XIZOYkO\/IPqZSnWmjxSI\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marinerfm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marinerfm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.marinerfm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.marinerfm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.marinerfm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.marinerfm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-19.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TRACKLIST<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
