Musical history

My first group as I remember was in 1994. Except our own production we mainly played classical covers from metal bands.

Afterwards there was a sort of project with Vjacki, we gave it a obvious name V.P. Noise Band (Vjacki & Paroh were our nicknames). It was mix of hardcore with some jazz and funky parts. Meanwhile I''ve been alternating the bass guitarist in death-grind band called Anthropophagia, and after one week I was in I got through my very first experience on a stage in front of huge audience (about 400 people I guess). Then it was right time to form my dream-band Dying Passion, unfortunately inside a band we have been struggled by many problems, which I had to get over, that''s why I didn''t hesitate to join another local band Morgue, playing thrash metal, in where I was a frontman (brutal vocals). We played on a few concerts and quite successful band broke up again even before it had started.

Now I'm concern just in Dying Passion, where I''m fully satisfied because I can use my own music imagination, I‘ve had a chance to record 3 album, one demo and play on many stages with many great bands.
