Preternatural-Cryophobia

Low-tuned guitar riffs, blasting rhytm section,

multidimensionalscreaming vocals and ambient

atmosheric melody. These features

wouldprobably describe the band's music

best. The storybegan in 1999,when two school

friends Serg and Volod, beingobsessed with

along-standing common dream of creating a band,

started taking privateguitar lessons. Soon, feeling

enough skills tomake some chords, theguys

recruited a bass player Den and a drummer Gin

from the otherband that had been rehearsing in a

local area studio and started toplay together.

Each lad in the new bandwas influenced by absolutely

different subgenres of metal and musicitself.

Instead of arguingupon, who would lead the style,

the band had decided to create the unique link

between their influences ofdeath metal power,

blackmetal grimness and ambient music's

keyboard atmosphere. But with sucha musical

mixture the band needed a proper theme for lyrics

and thename of the band musthave been equal,

either. Since, Serg (vocalist,guitaris) as a teenager,

was drown in the studies of paranormal andpsychology,

the problemof lyrical theme had dissapeared.

(Eversince, every song of theband is a different

story dedicated toparanormal and our perception

to that phenomenon in our life). Thename problem

hadn't lasted,either, cause one morning, Serg took

theEnglish language vocabulary, opened it at a

random page andaccidentally saw a word Preternatural.

After 24/7 rehearsing, 3independent demos and a lot

of local gigs the guys decided to addmore atmosphere

in their musicand they found the new member Euge

,who took a permanentposition as a keyboard player

in 2006. Theanticipated goalwas finally reached in

2007 with the debut album"Statical" release.

The success of the album, later helped the bandto

perfom onvarious festivals and gigs around Baltic

states and Scandinavia, supporting the bands like

Cradle Of Filth, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, Nile,

Soilwork, Atrocity, Leave's Eyes, etc. As well,

as the album had acquired a lot of positive interest

among metal press and lovers. Some people called

it "unique and non-heard thing before", some people

called it "too influenced". In any case, theground

of fans was formed, and the band decided to move

the samemusical way, but with more electronical

experiments, that has bornthe new EP "Cryophobia"

(to be self-released in February, 2010). As a

support for the release, the band has shot their

debut video for the self title track "Cryophobia". The

idea of the video and the songitself is kind of an

abstract warning and based on a theory of aliving

planet, that considers humanity as the parasite

and has nowill to sustain the symbiosis, putting

an end to all mankind using cold as an. Currently

the band is planning to record their second

album and release it till the end of the year 2010.
