Finally, I got this beast put together professionally! I've always wanted to have a B.C.Rich Warlock bass, hopefully a Japanese one. Well, I wasn't that lucky with Japan, so I ended up buying this Platinum Series Warlock , apparently, made in China. Didn't have a chance to play it long enough yet but it feels good in my hands, that's for sure. I'll try to make my next cover with it :)

Well, let's get that cat out of the bag - I'm not in the band anymore and there's a serious reason for that. After an extensive video shoot with DAS LETZTE LAGER I felt there was something seriously wrong with me. I felt really sick and couldn't go on. Luckily, I fell out of the last 30 seconds of the last take of video shooting for the last song, so it wasn't a problem.

From now on, the videos of DAS LETZTE LAGER, the death metal band I play live bass for, are available on my YouTube channel too. There will be more soon, but for now you can check the first three videos: "Krankheit Mensch", "In den Bäumen" and "Entmenschlicht". There's no real scenario, rather just a preview of what you'll be able to see at our first gig in September...

Suddenly, the first DAS LETZTE LAGER video was released today! It's for the song "Krankheit Mensch" which is one of my favorites from the upcoming album. From my perspective, it has very Black-Sabbath-ish riff... they say no one really does it anymore, yet here it is! Play it LOUDER!

I've gone crazy about B.C.Rich guitars/basses back when I was a kid! I mean how could you miss it, right? You watched that "Looks That Kill" video once and that was it, you were hooked for life! Back in 1996 my first bass was a handmade fake "Warlock" crafted by a local Ukrainian guitar manufacturer. Nothing fancy but I loved it... In 2004 I had to sell it before I moved to Germany. I had not much space in the bus + to be honest I was sure I was done with music. What did I know... Many years...

Things were not particularly good lately. All this Covid phase was kinda bearable at first but now you really don't know if it's going to end any time soon. I'm vaccinated three times, so I'm allowed everywhere but hey, we don't have that many places to go right now. All concerts and festivals are banned, postponed and canceled, including our first gig on 1.04.22 here in Hamburg. We've spent a lot of times preparing ourselves for our first gig and now nobody really knows anything. A few months...

Today is a big day because I officially joined the Hamburg-based band called Das Letzte Lager as the live bass player. The band plays death metal (with probably some stoner metal vibes) with the German lyrics. We're already hard at rehearsals... Very cool stuff if you ask me, with big riffs, exactly what I like in this kind of music. I mean there are thousands of black/death metal bands I wouldn't be able to tell apart even if my life depended on it. And there are such acts as Dark Throne or...

"Under Jolly Roger" was a weekly rock/metal TV show on the local "Tonis" TV station in my home-town Charkiw in the early '90s. We didn't have any "Headbanger's Ball" in Ukraine, we didn't have anything like that but we had "Under Jolly Roger".

It's the same concert I've posted before but a different video shot by another person. It's quite different because this guy wasn't very shy and actually managed to climb up the stage a few times. So, you can see lots of close-ups and my happy evil faces here :) Lots of great memories.

Actually, it was the last Mysterious concert ever. We were trying to find ourselves, probably more serious folky image and stuff... Well, the end was near :)
