Cigaretta » Biography
THE BEGINNING
Mr. _Doom: "It's the same as then and now - mostly painful, sometimes amusing."
I. Alokin: "And yet, didnt it all start about a decade ago? In the ancient town of Serdika, known at present as Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria?"
THE NAME
Velissa V.: "Oh, yes, Cigarettas members are smokers. Heavy smokers..."
I. Alokin: "Oh, no, they didn't choose the bands name because of this. Not at all."
THE PHILOSOPHY
Mr. _Doom: "It hides in the effort to make things in a different way - not just the music, but especially its preparation. If the preparation is ok, the music turns out fine as well."
THE MUSIC
Rhythm Magazine: "Music that makes you wanna go out in the rain and get wet after youve just dried up."
THE INSPIRATIONS
Mr. _Doom: "Pure rage. Pure anger. Pure malice. Pure fear."
