“YGODEH” was founded in October of 2009 by Pavel Stepanov aka “Piton” after scrapping his previous symphonic metal band “Disease”, which is reported to be the longest lived metal project in Daugavpils up to now and having a pivotal influence on the local rock-scene. Dawn Of The Technological Singularity - 2011 He invited Victor “Feka” Rinkevich (ex-“SvinKTR”) to perform the vocal and lyrics writing duties, thus, forming the core of the band, which immediately focused on studio work and recording fresh material together. Right from the start “YGODEH” proved a daring challenge to the stylistic versatility and compositional complexity mainly due to Pitons passion for experimentation and extensive use of additional symphonic elements. Good friend and a virtuoso bass player Alex Potapov aka “Potap” jumped on to bass duties and soon after that England-based drummer Vadim Vetrin aka “Vadozz”, who previously played together with Piton in “Disease” joined and recorded the percussion parts turning the band into a four-piece, which remains as such today. The only problem the band encountered at the time was territorial which was resolved when Piton relocated to London, England to be with Vadozz and soon to be bassist Roman Maksimov aka “Stalker”, also from previous metal band “Disease”. Whilst Piton settled in to new surroundings it became apparent that to spread the word and show existence to the UK underground scene they would need to perform live and so the search began for a new vocalist to replace Feka who remains in Daugavpils. The Experiment Interrupted – 2013 In February 2012, Ygodeh found just that in Andre .S Cura aka “Serberus” (ex –BlackDespair), allowing them to perform for the first time as a live band on stage at Surface festival 2012. Receiving nothing but great responses from audiences they began recording their second album with Serberus. With his mechanical vocal delivery it made the second album a step into the experimental direction. Receiving good reviews from critics in France, UK and Russia it landed them as the most played band in the Russian Heavy Metal Guide February 2013. In the meantime they have just announced to have recorded a cover of “Symbolic” by death metal band Death, which is to be released soon. A tour is also in the works to support “The Experiment Interrupted” album. Much like its name, Ygodeh’s sound is extremely enigmatic. Whilst incorporating different genres of metal it seamlessly flows unpredictably into something unique, mesmerising and unforgettable. A solid quartet with every second appreciating this new Synthetic Death Metal For Your Brain!
