Manic Depression

about

The “point of no return” or the starting point for the band was the day when Vitalij Novozhilov met Timur Mirzoev. At that moment both of them had certain guitar experience in the beginning metal bands. Similar music interests and the urge to play pushed them to the creation of their own project. For the missing drum- and bass-player positions they invited Stas Voznesensky and Kostya Seleznev (from “Trizna” band). However, the first line-up failed – Kostya didn’t want to change from guitar to bass and Stas was used to playing in the different style. The band needed a new drummer and found him in Vasya Kazurov, which played in such bands as "33", "Succubus", "Korroziya Metalla” (Metal Corrosion) and perfectly well followed the band spirit. In the autumn 1998 they started to work at the first demo. The creative process lasted up to the spring 1999 when Vasya being extremely ‘lucky’ broke his leg while riding the bike, which postponed the demo release to the autumn 2000. Approximately by that time Vasya brought Max Laiko (ex-Empire Rising) to the band and he stayed as a bass player, doing vocals at the same time. In January 2001 the first set is ready and the band keeps annoying their neighbors with some heavy thrash riffs. In April the first demo ‘Who Deals The Pain’ was being recorded and released in May under the guidance of Vadim Mirzoev. By this time Timur Mirzoev decides to leave the band as its music direction started to change slightly from what he wanted to play. In
