History

The band's vocalist Erkki Seppänen speaks fluent Russian after his years at Oxford University and working in the Finnish embassy in Moscow. The other members of the band are ex-Sentenced members Sami Lopakka (guitar) and Sami Kukkohovi, bassist Jaakko Ylä-Rautio and drummer Antti Karihtala. KYPCK's debut album Cherno ("Black") was released in 2008, their second album Nizhe ("Lower") in 2011, their third album Imena na Stene ("The Names on the Wall") in 2014,[1] and their fourth album Zero in 2016.

KYPCK's distinctive live performances have included Soviet Era video projections and peculiar instruments like bassist Ylä-Rautio's one-stringed bass Kypcklop, and guitarist Lopakka's six-stringer, built by Amfisound Guitars, around a genuine Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle.[2]

KYPCK have created their own genre called "Doomsday Metal" and have broken numerous barriers on their way: The first album sang entirely in the Russian language to have been released worldwide. The lengthiest Russian tour ever by a Western band – from St. Petersburg to Siberia's Irkutsk. Songs on the playlist of Russia's biggest rock radio station, who have strictly ruled out including non-Russian bands in their playlist rotation.[3] In 2015, the band was banned from entering Belarus. In February 2018, the band played a concert in Minsk, Belarus.[4]

All of KYPCK's albums include Cyrillic Russian lyrics and English translations in the booklet of the album.
