AZAZELLO is a current Russian band led by guitarist-singer Alexander KULAK. This music sounds so far from the beaten tracks of Progressive Rock that it seems to come from nowhere. There nothing surprising knowing that it is a side-project of MORG, a genuine thrash-metal band !!! Helped by an impressive musical culture, these four Slavic musicians mix strongly marked rhythms with a complex writing, incessant tempo changings, borrowings to various styles (Classical, symphonic, hard-rock and even Eastern Europe folklore) till summits only reached by Franck ZAPPA ! After an excellent "Black Day" album in 2000, AZAZELLO comes back the year after in the limelight of Progressive rock with "Upstairs", from now on under Musea Records ! This opus is close to the first DECADENCE's work, its compatriot. Like the latter, its style remains mainly instrumental sung in Russian. This is a very interesting Slavic band we should keep on eye on.
