Biography: The band Holy Blood was formed in October 1999. The band was formed when, after a rehearsal of church worship, some musicians decided to play something hard since they had enough free time. In the beggining the band consisted of three persons, Fedor Buzilevich on guitar and vocal, Dmitry Titorenko on drums and Michail Rodionov on bass. They were previously playing in a band Voice of Cryeth with Fedor Buzilevich on bass, Dmitry Titorenko on keyboard and Michail Rodionov on guitar but they decided to make their sound harder. So, in 2000 they started to play death/grind. In 2001 came three new musicians: Eugen Tsesarev (ex-Maranatha) on bass, Alexei Furman (ex-Revival) on the lead guitar and Vera Knyazeva on keyboards. At that point Michail Rodionov started playing the rhytm guitar. With the arrival of those members the band started to play melodic death metal and they began to their record first album. Fedor and Vera got married in August 2001. In 2002, the small Kiev metal label "Core Zone" released their first album entitled "The Wanderer". In the middle of 2002, Alexei Furman (guitar) left the band and his place was occupied by Artyom Stupak (ex-Maranatha). With this new lineup the band prepared new material in a more folk black/death style. A new instrument was involved, it was a block-flute play
