Purgen (Пурген) is a rock band from Moscow, Russia. Formed
in 1990 by vocalist Ruslan and his friend Chikatilo. First two
years the band's name was Lenin-Samotuik (Lenin Dildo). First
album as the Purgen name was ''Vse Gosudarstva – Konclagerja (All the
States-Concentration Camps'' which released in 1992. Year after, they
released ''Transplantacija Mirovozzrenija (Transplantation of
Attitude)''. By that first albums they formed their recognizable
style. Songs are fast and noisy and lyrics are provocative; but on that
albums, the quality of sound wasn't the best. 1994. was recorded and
re-published LP ''Transplantacija Mirovozzrenija (Transplantation of
Attitude)'' and after that, the band broke up because of poorness. Most
of the gigs they were playing were not bringing them any income but
travel costs, and life is expensive... Ruslan(frontman) in 1995.
meets two brothers Gnom and Panamo and invites them to the bend. They
released ''Radiacionnaja Aktivnost iz Musornogo Baka (Radioactivity From
the Rubbish Container'' and on that album you can recognize that their
sound gets more quality and their attidute is more agressive than it was
till then. In 1997. with help of the bassist from german bend
Grune Noise, Purgen releases ''Filosofija Urbanisticeskogo
Bezvremenija (Philosophy of Urban Hard Times)''. Thanks to that album,
they were noticed by publishing house Hobgoblin Records. With their
help, the band became more popular, the concerts were filled by the
punkers. In that time they had first tour around the Germany (wich was
their first tour out of Russia). They original punk music evolued year
by year to faster music closer to hardcore, but in their three last
albums, the band was influenced slightly by heavy metal, with double kick on drums, metallic sound guitars and more elaborated compositions, better riffs and longer songs. Their aesthetics, illustrations, photos and designs are some kind of parody about: tank girls, exagerate mohawk hair, apocaliptic panorama, etc..
