Originally hailing from Moscow and associated with Sankt-Peterburg, this group are known for an uncompromising sound and sharp lyricism resonant across their discography. Standout releases such as the album Безумный маскарад (2016), alongside others like Иsus (2015) and Фронт Attack (2006), have cemented their reputation for raw energy and authenticity within the punk ethos.
