History

Early years and rise to fame

The group's birth may be dated back to 15 May 1995, when the founder of the group, Vasya V. (Vasiliy Vasin), with Stas Sytnik and Kirill Solovyev, played a first concert in the Petersburg's House Of Pioneers. All the song lyrics were in English. Because of heavy membership turnover, they disbanded in 1996.

In May 1996 Vasya's father gave them money to record some tracks and then he made a deal with SHOCK-Records label, and soon they published album "Kirpichi tyazhely" ('Bricks are heavy'), which compiled from translated versions of previous songs.

In 1997 and 1998 the group toured, played in many festivals and provided an opening show for Biohazard. As a result the album "Smert' na reive" ('Death at the party') was published in 1999, under the Gala Records label. The recording of the third album was fast in spite of the heavy alcohol and drug-using by the members of group. However, tragically, the week before the release, on February 18, 2000, drummer Evgeniy Nazarov died from an overdose.

New millennium

Fourth album of group "Sila Uma" ('Power of mind'), by critics' and crew members' opinions, is the best album of group.
