Oracle (group)

The group was formed in 2005 in Moscow and consisted of two people - Dmitry Kruzhechkin ( vocal / guitar ) and Yevgeny Polarnik ( guitar ). For the year, the group records home-made de-recording, called “The Pursuit of Life”, and collects a full-fledged composition. In the future, "Oracle" is constantly performing in Moscow clubs and recording new songs. The song "The Heretic" was released on the collection Soul Of Metall vol.1 , which, in addition to "Oracle", included songs by other young heavy music performers.

In 2007, the group takes part in several festivals and performs with such famous groups as " Onslaught ", " Legion ", " Mavrin ". The Oracle was played on the opening of the legendary Paul DiaAnno (the first vocalist of Iron Maiden ).

In early 2010, the Oracle celebrates its fifth anniversary with a big concert. In 2010, Irond released their debut studio album, Confession of an Angel, which includes both old and new songs. After the release of the album, Evgeny Polyarnik leaves the group and the team decides not to look for a replacement, but to change the arrangement of the songs, shifting some of the guitar parts to the keys . The lyrical direction of the lyrics, as well as the melodiousness supported by a dense guitar sound, is an integral part of the oracle’s work. The band also performs covers on the works of famous bands.

Most of the lyrics and music were created by Dmitry Kruzhechkin, but the text of the song “Heretic” was written by Andrey Chugunov, the words for the song “Not Seriously” were composed by M. Vlasenko, and the music by Vladimir Bondarev. Bondarev also composed music for the songs “Following the Moon”, \ and “The Labyrinth of Your Dreams” from the album “Confession of an Angel”. Subjects texts - magic, religion, superstition. ^[one]
