STIGMATIC CHORUS
One of the oldest and honored Russian Symphonic Black Metal bands formed back in 1997 has recorded 5 full-length albums that brought it an iconic status in Russia.

The debut is reissued by More Hate prod. as a split with ANTAIOS (Norway) in October 2000. In 2004 the band enters CDM-records to record the second album. Autodafe is released by Metalagen/Soyuz Records in May 2005. In 2006 STIGMATIC CHORUS undergoes significant line-up changes: Crownsteel and Alex (ASHEN LIGHT) join the band as guitarists while Andrey Ishchenko joins as a drummer. This line-up records a follow-up to Autodafe – Gedonist, released in March 2008 by Musica Productions. This album features Natalie Kempin - the vocalist of ARCANE GRAIL. In October 2009 the band releases Indulgence – a 5-track EP consisting of one new song and four cover versions. Sympozium (full-length) is released on September 17, 2010. This 9-track album includes song “Indulgence, the Money of god" that becomes the first official video of the band. The release is supported by a big tour covering the main cities of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. On October 15, 2012 STIGMATIC CHORUS announce the release of a new album.
