TYPE V BLOOD. This is a team with a difficult history ... And now I will tell you it.
It all started a long time. One day back in 1993 the guitarist a virtually unknown group (the name has stuck ever) Sergey "Smith" Smiths met the novice singer Oleg "Star" Slabinskogo.
Then they were 16 years old, and by adding the missing musicians, film-formed hardcore punk band "Squeezers Of Exhausted Toads", then in 1994 was Russia's first stoner-metal band "WELL DONE BEAT", has released two albums with which to -then the Russian samizdat cassette labels, and in 1996 Smith joined the army and the group disbanded. Temporarily ...
Year 1999. Birth of the electron-metal duo "TVBLOOD". Smith (guitar, programming) and Star (vocal). They recorded a demo trial "Radiopulp", which is ashamed to remember about the musicians themselves. In general, it was a failed experiment. After working on finalizing the material and the new arrangements a year, recorded the second demo "Powerblood Awakening", and joins the team lead guitarist Alexander "Black" Emelyanov. Then went to a series of performances both solo and combined concerts, rock festivals, but within the limits of his native city of Kaliningrad.
"Dead Generation 77" - the first album, released in samizdat in 2001 and received at the time only good reviews. Wall of melodic death and industrial metal perfectly combined with gothic metal and has attracted a wide audience of listeners. But, as usual, after a meteoric rise - fall. Longtime friends, Sergei and Oleg had a falling out and for many years, almost six did not communicate, left for family reasons, a solo guitarist. We had to recruit a new team and in 2003 of "TVBLOOD" looked like: Smith (guitar, programming), Mars (lead guitar) and ex-vocalist of doom-death band "Dis Pater" - Jenry T.Darkshine. The style gave a bias towards gothic metal, but not without the influence of industrial music that can be heard on the second album in 2004 "VEGAWorld Top8", after which, having existed for a bit, playing a few concerts, the group ceases to exist about four and a half year.
In 2008. The revival occurred after Smith decided that quarrels and insults to no good anyone ever brought, and called his ex-vocalist with a proposal to reconstruct Oleg "TVBLOOD". This was taken on the "hurray" for ukomplektovki composition of matter of urgency was caused by an old friend on the composition of 2003-2004, the lead guitarist Mars. Immediately after the reunion, at the end of 2008 the band recorded a promotional EP "ZERO DUST TERRITORY", which reminded fans that the band is alive, full of creative energy and new ideas! One can argue about the new style of playing on the new pyatipesennike, and to what may come! The core was industrial metal, but it can not be called TVBLOOD copy of any foreign group - they have their own unique music, consisting of a detonating mixture of hard guitar riffs, electronic bases and hit tunes!
In early 2009, the staff leaves Mars and his place up for a new lead guitarist Leo Gataullin and the first in the history of the bass guitarist Denis "Cuba" Zrazhva. The updated resume as a quartet concerts not only in Kaliningrad, but also performs reconnaissance throws in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In the summer of 2009 at the home studio of the group and in the studio LIVE Records (zvukar - Eugene skills) after three months of work was recorded third album "Astra", which includes 13 songs, some of which are already known from previous albums, and is a real hit, partly perearanzhirovannymi , which made them even better, more interesting and fresh, plus new things that are good for at least showing definite growth "TVBLOOD" musically. Powerful, complex arrangements, technically skilled guitar, vocals over a hard, unpredictable rhythm, a wall of electronic samples, and beautiful melodies - here is a brief description of the new group's work! Album to listen to in one breath, as a monolith, despite the fact that all songs are different, and deserves to be in the collection of every lover of quality music! Comment on each song individually does not make sense - it must listen to the whole!
The result - a contract to release a CD with IROND Records. The album is sent to the mastering studio in Moscow at White Sound, November 28, 2009, and published the first official ten-year history of longpley. Yes, it should also be noted that in his recordings have participated guest musicians - members of groups known to Kaliningrad, among them Andrew Shcheglov (Aim, Dis Pater), Karnal Triplesix (X-Rated 6ex 6ex 6ex), Fantasmagor (Supra Plazma), Dmitry Yarovrat ( Holdaar, Nar Mattaru), Dennis Sukhotin (Dr.Gonzo), Vic Kulbachnaya (Dis Pater).
Presentation of the disc was already in a trio of Smith (programming, guitar), Star (vocal), Cuba (bass), January 3, 2010 in Kaliningrad club "Khoury Bamboo."
It was decided to extend the name to "TYPE V BLOOD", get in a jam as the link «TV» to television. In autumn 2010 there was a change of bass player.
War and peace ... Nothing to do with the work of Leo Tolstoy. This is a new work of Koenigsberg, which is called WARLD. It is easy to assume that this is a play on words WAR & WORLD, and it is successfully combined with the theme of the texts of the new album that bears antiglobalistichesky character.
As practice shows, many teams have over their shoulders non-poor story, often not happy with any variety of musically and produce the same type of boring albums, but attempts to change it is not always successful end. This does not apply to the TYPE V BLOOD, because they are not treading water and do not look for easy ways, and follow the path of the experiments, which undoubtedly makes them strong and interesting material.
Staying in fact, on his 4th album, industrial metal band, they still make stylistic innovations! In WARLD musicians koordinalno changed electronic and rhythmic component of his compositions, and, when compared with the previous album, ASTRA, in which they were closer to the trans-house and hardcore, but now the arrangements tend toward the break-beat.
"No snot! Only hell fun!"
A total of 11 new album of excellent, professionally made, songs with a strong power, catchy at first listen. Smith and company have made another great album, and went to fuck someone who will say that this is just another industrial-metal seal. Nothing like this, gentlemen. This WARLD
