Chapter III. Kama Sutra (2004-2005 A.D.)

verything is as usual. When it comes to perversions, they call me, since I used to be the infernal side of the band. Unlike the previous talkers, I have no choice on position to write the next chapter of the Band Chronicles. They had just ordered me to write Kama Sutra and I had to obey.

astering Kama Sutra is eternal as eternal the bliss of realizing the concepts of Krishna.
The process of choosing a name for the style of the music we play was truly eternal. Striving for constant perfection we passed from the ordinary folk metal through the folk death (when I was a death and others were my folk), but every masterpiece begins with a joke. So the definition of true’n'evil folk metal was born in roar and laughter. Isn’t it nice? Yeah?

aster Kama Sutra only with one (those?) you want.
The issue of "Moskovsky Komsomoletz v Pitere" №2/3 of January 16 2004 included an interview with Wolfsangel. I should notice that it was our first interview in rather respectable periodical with rather big circulation, so we were impressed. Impressed with the event, but not with the contents. E.g. they wrote "the band sounds somewhat like ENSTURDZEN NOEBATEN" (that band name is also cited from this paper!).

ithout mastering the laws and training asanas, one cannot master the positions and poses in the love games that require specific dexterity and constitution, stamina and quick responses.
So the everyday life began with two concerts in two weeks, and we realized them as one long gig. Influenza did not pass us by, so coughing and sneezing we played first February 7 at the Arctica Club at the first St. Petersburg folk metal fest (with Nomans Land and Butterfly Temple), and second February 21 at an international fest called Black Winter Day (with Morrah, Fragile Hollow (Finland), Septima and Citadel).

he soul knows two pleasures – to insist and to endure…
February 11 the recording sessions for our first album were over. We had drunk all we infused during these sessions and now the result does not depend on us. The record was to be mastered. We were to endure.
It is well known, that any sexual contact without preservation leads to such painful process as birth. Such is the album titled Widdershins.
My spring knocked to the hospital door with a merry ejaculation (it is an old word that means exclamation) by Petras: "Stand up, bucket head! We are going to rehearsals since we are to play an important gig soon!" In this view the FONO label (we already agreed with them upon the album but did not sign yet) gave me the document for the doctor. It proclaimed that I am an important member of a signed band and I must rehearse… So I endured and rehearsed.

hevabandha is a sexual contact through the auricle, or to say more precisely it is petting an auricle with penis.
March 27 we played at the fest for the year of return of the "Twilight of the Gods" show to the air of the ROKS radio. We were accompanied with our friends Morrah, Seducer’s Embrace (Moscow), Nomans Land and Void (a brand new project of Llanfair P.G., now Void Void). It was a great party with announced beauty contest and improvised shadow dance by me and Redin… Let me reveal some details. It so happened that in this time the make-up room in Arctica Club was just curtained of the scene and was lightened with a lonely bulb at the back wall, and the light was directed right to the curtain. As a result, everything that happened in the make-up room could be seen from the audience as the Shadows behind the band playing. Me and Alexey did not realize it, but began to dance and gesticulate as Void played. The audience was pleased by it and started to laugh, and the founding father of Void was puzzled by it and asked sternly: "Why do you laugh? Just say me and we will laugh together"… I should notice that it took time for Alexey and me to realize that we are the reason of laughter, so it was a good and POSITIVE show by Void.

f a man distracts a woman with kisses and petting passing his knee under her one it is called a trap.
The April Fool’s joke forced panic in our guest book. Maybe we should not joke this way: "We decided to change the cast. Those musicians are welcome: a bassist, a vocalist/frontman, a keyboardist, two guitarists and a drummer. We also need a manager and a lyricist".

hese embraces are perfect if the calm motions take turn with the fast ones, and the frictions alternates with occlusions…
So we changed our partners in gigs. May 2 they were Void and Nomans Land, and May 21 – Troll Gnyot El’ and Perun (Rostov). At the middle of May we signed with FONO.

hat state leads to love? Exertion and passion. What follows love? Relief and caress.
June 10, 2004 our album Widdershins was released!

akumbana is a kiss supported with fingers. It is called a kiss of dying passion.
It was just for no particular reason. A week before the presentation we parted with Feodor. Incompatibility progressed for all this time and both sides realized that it will be no more. It was a serious loss for the band, but we took the decision to play release party without him. If look into nowadays, we can state that it was a good decision. Feodor is in Stalwart now and they say that he is at his best there.

ne has three desires: knowledge, love and wealth. The life begins with knowledge, continues with love and ends with wealth. Soul likes friendship, mind likes respect and body likes intimacy.
June 19 at Arctica Club we presented Widdershins. Stalwart also presented their album called Jerk. There also were special guests Hieronimus Bosch and White Owl from Moscow, and Tartharia. I need to note that there were other feelings except the joy of the event and excitement of the "truncated" cast. These feelings were about our closest friends Pizzles & Scrotum. As we offered them to be the very special guests at our presentation, they agreed with pleasure, but we should realize that this band played live years ago, and they current incarnation never played live. I cannot justify myself the last phone conversation with their lead vocalist Magnus Phallos. We quarreled and passed all the bounds in our quarrel. We offended and insulted each other… as a result the mourning of June 19 was marked with another call from Dr.Pizzle. He said that Magnus is in a mental hospital, and he is very bad. He is still there now.

ince touching the most sensitive part of penis with sharp teeth does not please it, but can bring pain and even wound it…
It was a hard summer. Everybody solved his own problems with job, health, sex et al. There were some benefits as several new songs and some losses… Alexey Evdokimov left the band.
Obviously, the band almost panicked since drums take a critical part in this kind of music and Alexey was one of those who walked through the First Rain… We even thought of using drum machine, but everything was good at last. The summer gone, the heat died and we met <a drum-roll> Max Znaevsky.

istorical note: Unlike Europeans, the people of the East through the ages considered a woman not only as a wife, a slave or a housewife, but first of all as a subject to praise, to admire and even to deify, and of course a perfect tool of pleasure.
December 2 of 2004 we revealed our secret and everybody knew of "she, who will enrich our sound with her voice" – Tanya Frolova.

he lovers must completely know internal purge and bring up the good feelings in themselves, such as kindness, friendliness. They must never hurt each other mentally of physically. They must treat themselves to be satisfied with that they have, with no effort…
The new cast rehearsed through the autumn and appeared on stage far from home. December 4 we played in Moscow at R-Club together with Morrah, Alkonost (Naberezhnye Chelny) and local bands Rest in Pain, Svarga and Obesity. The Arctic spaces of St. Petersburg were conquered at December 18 (together with Morrah, Abnormal, Mind Eclipse, and Llanfair P.G.)

oitus must be four times longer than is needed to satisfy the passion…
…decided the technical service of our hosting company, so our site was down at Christmas holidays.

oitus must always be anticipated with petting and kissing games.
All the January we rehearsed our renewed program. The first concert of the year was also not at home: February 6 we visited Moscow again. Again we opened the venue but this time the show was sold out. The audience was great… Other bands to play were Troll Gnyot El’, Arkona and Nevid’. As we returned, we saw the black-orange bills of our next gig of February 12, Black Winter Day Fest (together with Rossomahaar, Morrah, Alkonost, Asguard). Good work.

oitus without using genitals is a benefit of people of refined taste, as a coitus of other type may be a passing caprice of one or both partners…
We thought a lot and turned the next "Twilight of the Gods" birthday to a "regular family party". We invited guests from Finland, Ensiferum, as Wolfsangel and Frosted Glass were hospitable hosts. The party succeeded. Of course there were some problems and troubles, of course there was some heroic deeds and some victims, but we have done it. I think more-than-600 audience also thinks so…
