Fatal Nation - Demo (2007)

In 1997 Elkhan Alshin founded a band that was influenced by bands like Pantera, Sepultura, Tool (some sort of evil mix of styles like thrash, death and psychedelic),but they didn't have a permanent bass player and vocalist. At that period of time Evgeniy Manukhin (current drummer of Unformal) was filling the role of the drummer.After some time in Fatal Nation a creative misunderstanding appeared between, Evgeniy Manukhin and Elkhan, and Natiq Mammadov(bass player, who became a permanent and irreplaceable bass player of Fatal Nation).At this point Ramin was having a hard time with his current band he wanted to play much heavier, aggressive and technically complicated music, he accepted Elkhan's offer to join Fatal Nation. Already in autumn was formed final line up at that period of time: Elkhan Alshin-guitar, Natiq Mammadov-bass, Ramin Sadigov-drums and young vocalist Toghrul Manafov. With this line up in winter 2000 the band decides to make a studio record in ANS RECORDS studio, to record results of their first year of work together. After, they recorded another demo EP in their practicing space, called The Nail-Symbol of a New Revolution. Neither of the records saw day light because of the difficult situation in Baku regarding the promotion of rock bands at this time. In 2001 Toghrul leaves the band, but they don't give up. With a new vocalist (Timur), joined later by a second guitarist, Alexander Kasrtyulin, Fatal Nation recorded demo versions of songs called The Banner Of Madness and Analysis, that they sent to Moscow music label Corporation of Heavy Metal(KTR) led by Sergey Troitskiy(Corrosion of Metal and). Invited by KTR in April 2001, the band went to Moscow, and then again because of financial problems they had to come back to Baku after some time. The period from 2002 to 2003 is a black stripe in history of FN, after their journey to Russia the band decides to split for a while and to get busy with their personal life.In April 2003 united again to write a new program, influenced by nu-metal and alternative bands like Mudvayne and Deftones and was kinda playing tribute to the new trend. Summer 2004 Elkhan meets Emil Aliyev (another FN vocalist) and they decide to start all over again and revive FN. Group starts series of intensive practices. In the end of 2004 DJ and keyboard player Yegor Anisimov joins the band, and brings new colours to the already completely changed music of the band. In 2007 Emil has to leave the country to study in Moscow,and Yegor Anisimov has left the band,because the band has changed style of music. And after some hesitation Toghrul agreed to join FN to record a Demo.Also in 2007 guitarist Yerin Vadim(before playing to band Sakura) has joined the Fatal Nation,and to this day the band functions such structure.
