BANDS
SMERTOKREST

SmertoKrest is formed back in 2002 by Grob Bogokhul and remains a one-man project in the early years of its biography. In the beginning of 2004 the project records its first demo titled ‘Zima 2004’ (‘Winter 2004’, unreleased). It is followed by ‘Krov Satani’ (‘Satan’s Blood’) — another unreleased demo. In 2010 Grob records the debut album of SmertoKrest titled ‘CHyornye Tropy Ada’ (‘Black Paths of Hell’). The debut is self-released as a limited edition. The same year the project starts working with session musicians and plays its first shows in 2011. A follow-up to the debut is recorded in a makeshift recording studio set up in the garage owned by Maniac, who later joins SmertoKrest as a full-time bassist. ‘Proshcheniya Vam Net’ (‘There Is No Excuse For You!’) is released by Zombie Records in 2013. In 2015 A.V. (drums) joins the band. This line-up records the third album titled ‘Sozhzhenie Svyatyh’ (‘Incineration Of Saints’). With A.V. on drums SmertoKrest gains the missing 30% of strength and vigor. The next work recorded by the band is ‘Zov Inogo Puti’ (‘The Call Of The Other Path’, full-length) released by Wolfmond Production (Germany) in 2019. This album is followed by ‘Duh Zverya’ (‘The Spirit Of The Beast’, full-length) released by Metal Race in 2022. ‘Skvoz Tajny Vremeni’ (‘Through The Mysteries Of Time’), the bands last album to date, is released in 2025 by More Hate Productions.
