ROSSOMAHAAR was started back in 1995 Anno Bastardi, with
an aim to demonstrate the whole world that Russians are definitely capable of creating
supreme black metal art, and as there were NO black metal acts back then, at least the
ones who ņould be considered to be of importance. Later on, situation went for better,
however ROSSOMAHAAR still is the leading star when it comes to Russia-s BM scene (well, if
it could be considered "scene"). Till now the band have unleashed one and only
demo work, "Grotesque" (1997), which was later re-issued in the shape of
MC-album by R.I.P. Productions; as well as
"Imperium Tenebrarum" CD, the one which was brought forth the light by CDM
Records, MoreHate and Sound Age Productions in Russia.
This Summer the band have inked a deal with a well-known US label, X-Rated
Records, who-s going to re-release "Imperium Tenebrarum" with a completely
different appearance, additional track (sort of bonus-) as well as a photo-gallery, this
September. They will also unleash the second CD by ROSSOMAHAAR, "Quarite Lux In
Tenebris (Exploring The External Worlds)", early 2001.
Right now, ROSSOMAHAAR consists of Lazar (vocals, guitars and keyboards), who is actually
a mastermind behind the band due to the fact
he's the only one responsible for music, and Herr Stalhammar (Vae Solis webmag's
editor-in-chief), who takes care of poetry and management...
being supplemented by Ixxaander (guitars) and Kniaz' (bass) and Sigizmund (drums). This is
the lineup "Imperium Tenebrarum" was brought forth the light by, whilst
"Grotesque" was recorded by Lazar alone. Later on, Maiden (keyboards)
joined the band .
Expect a new astounding blast from Russia's #1 black metal band!"
