PARALLAX

The original Parallax project was formed in early 2011 by Evgeny Zhytnyuk and Dmitry Volovnenko, as the first Ukrainian band to play oriental metal. Step by step, the band’s sound became more heavy and progressive. Thus, its current music genre can be defined as oriental flavoured prog metal.
In 2012, the band was joined by bassist Xander Kamyshin, guitarist Max Khmelevsky and female vocalist Helle Bogdanova. It became the final Parallax line-up which started its active rehearsals. Unfortunately, Dmitry decided to pursue his life and career interests outside Parallax and has left the band.
Autumn, 2012, Parallax selected 4 songs from the band repertoire for the debut EP titled Sputnik. It’s concept is based on space topics, in particular on Mars and first ever human-made Earth satellite, Sputnik-1, as well as John Carter movie and Pioneer One series.
February, 2013, the band entered Max Morton’s Amazing Music Workshop (aka Morton Studio) to start recording Sputnik. Apart from engineering and producing, Max Morton has greatly contributed to Parallax debut EP, acting as session guitarist and singing backing vocals in 'Planet War' song.

The EP "Sputnik" was released on June 15th, 2013.
