DEATHONATOR it is based in June, 1989 by Alexander Shalimov
(Ash) - bass, vox and Dmitry Donskoy (Tank) - drums. After short
search V. Guseynovó
joins group. Later some months, DEATONATOR play the first gig
with AFFECT. Action took place in an assembly hall of one of
schools Yuzno Sakhalinsk on October, 13th, 1989, on Friday. Also
it is considered to be this date Birthday DEATHONATOR. Then V.
Guseynov leaves from Sakhalin, and Ash and Tank start forced to
search to it for replacement. In March of next year Andrey
Romanov which influence has affected not only stylistics of
group comes to group, - at this time the group tends speed metal
to sounding, - but also at a professional level of musicians.
With Romanov of DEATHONATOR writes down some the rehearsal tapes
had narrow circulation among the Sakhalin fans.
Having lost
there is less than year and not having given in structure of
DEATHONATOR any concert, in September 1990 Romanov leaves in
AFFECT. Having tried several musicians, Ash and Tank stop the
choice on Dmitry Ponomarev (Omar), and together with it on a
post of the separate vocalist of group Victor Kochergin (F.O.Mich)
comes. With arrival of new forces DEATHONATOR continue to play
speed metal with elements a thrash.
During 1990 - 1991 the group, besides other, creates songs
till now groups being by the card - <Alcoholic> and the
<Power-saw bench> which has united in punk a sound and thrash a
pressure. In 1992 in structure of DEATHONATOR there is a second
guitarist - Roman Shalnov and in this structure, for the first
time after so long break, DEATHONATOR steps onstage as the hors
concours participant of festival vocal - tool ensembles of
system of vocational training. In same to year to group Arcady
(Jun - Doc. Death) joins lyricmaker.
In August, 1992 F.O.Mich gets in a road accident, duties of
the vocalist have been assigned on Ash. And in September the
group plays new songs at concerts in a hall of the Union of
theatrical figures and on opened live session at date of city.
1993 has begun with the invitation of group to annual
festival <Spring Drive - 2> to t; to Khabarovsk. DEATHONATOR has
prepared some new songs for festival - the program (the title,
and also a ballad and instrumental from this program have been
written down in January, 1993 on the Sakhalin radio, but
circulations had no because of bad quality of record). Before
departure, musicians, having come on rehearsal, have found out
the reh - room ruined. Thieves have been found also two days
later group has left on fest.
The first festival experience has appeared successful -
DEATHONATOR played first and last days festival and has liked
both to public, and brothers on the weapon. On arrival for
Sakhalin DEATHONATOR changes a rehearsal point and, having
received a little bit greater opportunities, continues to work
above a cycle. The first independent solo gig took place in
November, 1993. In the end of 1993 the group spends one more
solo concert, accompanied to the shows prepared by show - troupe
ENCEPHALON.
In the beginning of next year DEATHONATOR recorded a 45 -
minute official demo. In April, 1994 DEATHONATOR acts in
Khabarovsk at the next festival and in local fatal club of
<Spasm> in Split with LINER. DEATHONATOR, on returning in native
penates and having won back on local fest <Symbiosis> and gig
about hard - rockers WIN, accepts on Ivan Madjanov (Mad John),
was frontman PROTEUS, on a vocal and starts to work above a
material for a new demo.
For the first time songs of this cycle have sounded on New
Year's Party in the end of December, 1994. But already later
month group sits down in studio and throws up 7 songs of
Paradise Hurt. Practically all reviews of this release were
positive. At the next festival in Khabarovsk (March, 1995) group
accepted very warmly. To performance at official festival
preceded mini fest of Abominable Vomit, taken place in
"Khabarovsk", with participation PARACELS, INSIDE DEAD, GANGRENE
(all from Khabarovsk), TRIDENT (Ulan Ude) and, certainly,
DEATHONATOR.
In August in structure of group there are rearrangements. As
a result the final structure for September, 1995 became such:
Don, Shalnov, Ponomaryov, Madyanov (it was switched to a bass)
separate vocalist Michael Majorov. Ash has been noticed in
structure of AFFECT, and in a consequence in EXCESS. And all
year DEATHONATOR works above songs for the 1996 of a demo
declared on the end. But once again financial and other problems
force to postpone record. In April, 1997, on returning from XIII
Far East festival fate and alternative music, DEATHONATOR take
part in IV Sakhalin rock festival, and also in actions of TV
schedules <Generation X> and <Music>. At last, in the middle of
November, has to the public left a demo. Immediately new demo
sends to a number leading underground labels, compilations and
magazines of Russia and the CIS where finds enthusiastic
responses and offers to realization. In support of new demo DEATHONATOR in next, already sixth time sends on the Khabarovsk
festival, and also participates on gig <On an altar of madness>
in Vladivostok, together with TODESGEIST, PROPAGANDA, KEEN and
others. In June the group, having passed competitive selection
from more than 200 applicants, receives the invitation to
participation in grandiose festival (Kungur, the Perm area),
but, alas, financial problems (and then for a trip of group 4
000 dollars were necessary), have not allowed DEATHONATOR to
reach the Europe (in geographical sense).
The economic crisis which has burst in August, 1998, has
considerably confused plans of group, has forced to freeze a
number of perspective projects. But it also has pushed
DEATHONATOR to purchase new - legal - the status. In December,
1998 the group registers the public organization on support of
alternative kinds of art <Asgard> which purposes are all kinds
of activity underground bands. During same time of the
contradiction in group reach a critical mark and, at the height
of record of a new material, DEATHONATOR makes a decision to
dismiss D.Ponomarev, actually retired groups. This step again
has cast away DEATHONATOR back. But soon all rises on the
places, - the group has appeared viable and in the reduced
variant. In two months DEATHONATOR acts at the bottom of a birth
of local <Europe>. Performance of guys was accepted even more
warmly, than Moscow <star> which have left after them of Oleg
Valjando. Then again Khabarovsk, is a lot of concerts in
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, a trip on inter - regional festival a jazz –
priest - rock of music to Tynda, <knife> departures the nearest
to regional city centre of Sakhalin.
In October, 1999 the band has grandiosely noted the decade on
a stage of a recreation center <Native land>, having organized
regional festival where groups from all Sakhalin have been
invited. For today today DEATHONATOR is the most significant group of
Sakhalin, on which account about hundred performances, tens
festivals and the actions, five official demos.
In the beginning of 2000 in group there is a new person -
young and perspective guitarist arist Dmitry Kapustjuk who organically
was a part DEATHONATOR. A demo - its first work as guitarist
DEATHONATOR. Unexpected change of structure has comprehended
group in October 2000. Under pressure of circumstances Kapustyuk
leaves structure DEATHONATOR. Its place the keyboard player -
borrows Vasily Mikhailov. The group reorients the music on
dark/death and already in new structure prepares for a material
for the next demo. Before next Khabarovsk voyage DEATHONATOR
leaves from Hamburger Studio with a newly made album - And Death
Will Be My Savior? In Khabarovsk at festival DEATHONATOR for the
first time plays a material of an album on public completely.
Contact of group to Nizhniy Novgorod label Fatal Forum has
brought long - awaited results - in June on FFP there was last
album of group in a cassette format. In October 2001 having said
goodbye to Vasily Mihajlov, accept in the bosom of the new
maestro of keyboards - Sergey Yudin. Soon there was a problem
with a vocal. John, having decided to devote to game on the
tool, has refused a place behind a microphonic rack. The trial
and error method had been revealed earlier Alexey Gribkov far
from music possessing a strong, dense pure vocal. Arrival new
frontman has not affected music of group (at least not in the
worst party) - all the same heavy (whether death?) a pressure,
tasty arrangements, slightly melancholic atmosphere. The group
has closely come nearer to Gothic sounding (but not to the
maintenance!).
In June, at the bottom of youth, DEATHONATOR in new structure
has addressed 5 - to a thousand audience, the concert was
broadcast on the air to all Sakhalin. In October, 2002 on 9 city
rock - festival with it and organized DEATHONATOR again shocks
listeners having won back all at once 4 songs of OTHER MUSIC!
The group begins work above a new material, but in the heat of
this there was a terrible tragedy. On August, 20th, 2003 in an
air crash the drummer of group - Dmitry Donskoy was lost. 2004
there was a new material - Rebirth everyone have been written
down. The name of a new album symbolically, and in the big
degree reflects a today's condition of collective.
