About the group

At first, Krovostok was perceived as a joke (even by the members themselves), but that did not prevent the group from becoming one of the most successful and original rap collectives in Russia. A characteristic feature of Krovostok's music is the use of profanity in their idiosyncratic monotonous flow. The group's members can be considered representatives of the creative intelligentsia: Shilo is an artist and poet, Feldman is a writer and installation artist, and both are former members of the art collective FenSo (ru:ФенСо).^{[citation needed]}

History

Anton Chernyak (Shilo) and Dmitry Fain (Feldman) studied together at Moscow Academic Art Сollege. They later became members of the FenSo (Russian: ФенСо) artist collective.[1] After this, Shilo took part in the art collective PG (Russian: «ПГ»). They met the third member of Krovostok, Sergey Krylov (DJ Polutrup), when he was working as a bartender at the PushkinG (Russian: «ПушкинГ») art club founded by the PG group.[2]

Krovostok uploaded their first tracks on their official website. These tracks later became the group's debut album, Reka krovi (Russian: «Река крови», lit. 'River of blood').^{[citation needed]}

Krovostok started to perform in Moscow clubs in the fall of 2004, having initially only played private concerts to small groups of people.^{[citation needed]}

In 2005, the group released the track "GidroGash" (Russian: «ГидроГаш», lit. 'HydroHigh') featuring Mihail Krasnoederevshik. In early 2007, some tracks from the new album Gantelya (Russian: «Гантеля», lit. 'Dumbbell') were posted on the Internet. Phantomas 2000 was the sound producer on the album. Gantelya was released on 24 January 2008. It was stylistically similar to Reka krovi, but the recording quality was higher. Krovostok's popularity grew again.^{[citation needed]}

Krovostok worked closely with the underground rap group 43 Gradusa (Russian: «43 градуса», lit. '43 degrees'). 43 Gradusa members Phantomas 2000 and Kot provided backing vocals on the tracks "Del'taplan" (Russian: «Дельтаплан», lit. 'Hang glider') and "Razgovory o Napasakh" (Russian: «Разговоры о Напасах», lit. 'Conversations about blunts'). DJ Polutrup participated in 43 Gradusa's concerts as an audio engineer.^{[citation needed]}

At the turn of 2010-2011, Krovostok released the single "Predstav'te" (Russian: «Представьте», lit. 'Imagine'), a song about assassins and human trafficking, as well as the singles "Pora domoi"(Russian: «Пора домой», lit. 'Time to go home') and "Dushno"(Russian: «Душно», lit. 'Stuffy').^{[citation needed]}

On 24 March 2012, the new album Studen' (Russian: «Студень») was posted as a free download on the group's website.[3]

In 2014, Krovostok released the singles "Nogti" (Russian: «Ногти», lit. 'Nails'), "Cherepovets" (Russian: «Череповец»), and "Seks — eto" (Russian: «Секс Это»).^{[citation needed]}

On 6 March 2015, Krovostok released their fifth album, Lombard (Russian: «Ломбард», lit. 'Pawnshop').[4]

On 26 March 2016, the single "Nayok yok" (Russian: «Наёк ёк») was released. On 9 August 2016, Krovostok released the single "Dush" (Russian: «Душ», lit. 'Shower').[5] On 1 March 2017, they released the single "Golova" (Russian: «Голова», lit. 'Head').

On 23 March 2018, Krovostok released the concert album Krovostok Live (Russian: «Кровосток Лайв»), and on 30 March 2018. they released the studio album ChB (Russian: «ЧБ»), containing 11 tracks, including the previously released singles "Nayok yok", "Dush", and "Golova".[6]

Concert and court case in Yaroslavl

In 2015, the Federal Drug Control Service office in Yaroslavl filed a complaint to the regional prosecutor, requesting that the prosecutor's office investigate Krovostok's lyrics for compliance with the requirements of Russian legislation.[7][8] According to the leadership of the Federal Drug Control Service, Krovostok's music contains "a large amount of foul language and slang terms for drugs," and "popularizes non-medical psychoactive narcotic use, random sexual relations, illegal actions, and violence.” In July 2015, the Kirovsky district court in Yaroslavl ruled that Krovostok's lyrics were illegal in Russia and ordered federal censors to block the group's website.[9][8]

Dmitry Fain, the main author of the lyrics, called the ban on his work unconstitutional and stated that the court's decision would not change the group's concert plans.[10] On 13 October 2015, the Yaroslavl Regional Court held a hearing on the appeal from Krovostok. However, no decision was made on this day, as not all parties were acquainted with the additional materials in the case. The trial was rescheduled for 27 October 2015.[11]

On 12 November, the Yaroslavl regional court overturned the Kirovsky district court's decision on banning the band's songs and blocking the official site. The Prosecutor's office's claims were rejected in full.[12]
