He´s an independent musician from Finland. His style is very varied, but has a firm basis in metal music. He has composed published two albums so far and is working on his third.
Raised in a family of musicians, He found the way of an artist a natural path to follow. He started by playing violin in his childhood, and continued on to practicing guitar and composing when he was twenty years old. So far He have published two albums, each under a different project name: Viral's Antediluvian Hunger was released in 2008 and Omniavatar's United Earth in 2010. Both were released as free downloads.
He´s working on his third album, which he willl release under my own name sometime in the year 2013. In October of 2012, He decided to start working in a new way, finding his audience and connecting with it during the creative process rather than only after it is over.
The story began in 1999, when two school friends Serg and Volod, being obsessed with a long-standing common dream of creating a band, started taking private guitar lessons. Soon, feeling enough skills to make some chords, the guys recruited a bass player Den and a drummer Gin from the other band that had been rehearsing in a local area studio and started to play together. Each lad in the new band was influenced by absolutely different subgenres of metal and music itself. Instead of arguing upon, who would lead the style, the band had decided to create the unique link between their influences of death metal power, black metal grimness and ambient music's keyboard atmosphere. But with such a musical mixture the band needed a proper theme for lyrics and the name of the band must have been equal, either. Since, Serg (vocalist, guitaris) as a teenager, was drown in the studies of paranormal and psychology, the problem of lyrical theme had dissapeared. (Ever since, every song of the band is a different story dedicated to paranormal and our perception to that phenomenon in our life). The name problem hadn't lasted, either, cause one morning, Serg took the English language vocabulary, opened it at a random page and accidentally saw a word Preternatural.
After 24/7 rehearsing, 3 independent demos and a lot of local gigs the guys decided to add more atmosphere in their music and they found the new member Euge, who took a permanent position as a keyboard player in 2006. The anticipated goal was finally reached in 2007 with the debut album "Statical" release. The success of the album, later helped the band to perfom on various festivals and gigs around Baltic states and Scandinavia, supporting the bands like Cradle Of Filth, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, Nile, Soilwork, Atrocity, Leave's Eyes, etc. As well, as the album had acquired a lot of positive interest among metal press and lovers. Some people called it "unique and non-heard thing before", some people called it "too influenced".
In any case, the ground of fans was formed, and the band decided to move the same musical way, but with more electronical experiments, that has born the new EP "Cryophobia"(to be self-released in March, 2010). As a support for the release, the band has shot their debut video for the self title track "Cryophobia". The idea of the video and the song itself is kind of an abstract warning and based on a theory of “a living planet”, that considers humanity as the parasite and has no will to sustain the symbiosis, putting an end to all mankind using cold as an extinction.
The band was formed in 2001 from George Driev - bass, George Kushev - guitar and Spas Markov - drums. Later joined Zachary Shinikchiev - vocals and Nikola Ivanov - guitar.
Various clubs performances in Plovdiv follow. The group already has a lot of fans - mostly friends. They are everywhere, where five have appear and strongly support them. So, after a year of concerts and rehearsals comes time to change. Nicola left the band briefly for official duties and Spas is called for compulsory military duty in 2003. Behind the drums temporarily stood Svetoslav Nachev. At the end of 2003, Nichola and Spas return.
The last concert for Zachary is in club "XXL". His place was taken by former lead singer of "Rappel Rack" - Dimo Petkov. Preliminary talks were held with him in December 2003 and early 2004 started rehearsals.

Yhtyeen taival alkoi vuoden 2008 lopussa täydellisen kokoonpanon löydyttyä. Täynnä intoa ja uskoa omaa musiikkiaan kohtaan yhtyeen jäsenistö alkoi hioa soittoaan, ja jo muutaman kuukauden kuluttua esiintymisneitsyys oli riistetty. Positiivisen palautteen saattelemana aloitettiin ensimmäisen demon nauhoitukset. Pian Ihtiriekko-niminen, vain internetissä julkaistu, kolmen kappaleen esikoislapsi näki päivänvalon. Uutta materiaalia työntyi ilmoille siinä määrin, että muutaman esiintymisen jälkeen oli valuttava studioon purkittamaan vanhempia kappaleita pois nilkoista pyörimästä. Elokuussa 2009 Trakooma julkaisi jälleen, tällä kertaa nimeämättä jätetyn promokiekon. Palaute ei jättänyt tälläkään kertaa kylmäksi. Muutamaa keikkaa myöhemmin, keväällä 2010 joutui yhtye luovuttamaan rumpalinsa kansalaisvelvollisuuksiaan täyttämään, mutta ahkera harjoittelu ja sävellystyö jatkuu horjumatta. Lokakuussa 2010 Trakooma päätti tehdä muutamia muutoksia musiikkiinsa. Yhtye muutti laulukielen suomesta englanniksi ja alkoi hiomaan musiikkia entistä melodisemmaksi pysyen kuitenkin agressiivisena ja teknisenä kokonaisuutena. Helmikuussa 2011 yhtye julkaisi ensimmäisen kokopitkän omakustannealbuminsa, nimeltään "Demented Brutality". Levy oli täysin itsenäisesti tuotettu ja lopputulos on miellyttänyt niin itse bändiä kuin kuuntelioitakin. Yhtyeen tulevaisuus näyttää valoisalta, ja tuskinpa henkilökemiat enää tämän paremmin voisivat toimia. Nälkä kasvaa syödessä, ja piinaava tarve itsensä toteuttamiseen sekä ilmaisemiseen ajaa tätä ryhmää täysillä eteenpäin, suurimpienkin esteiden kaatuessa silkasta pelonsekaisesta kunnioituksesta.

They now reside with bands like The Resistance,The Unguided and Skitarg. Eyes Wide Open has gone from nothing, to being one of Swedens fastest growing up-and-coming band in less than a year.

The band Evil Lucifera was founded by Italian singer Evil Lucifera at the end of 2009. After various experiences in bands where she wasn't able to fully express her views on music and where her compositional skills are valued, she decided to embark on a solo path using collaborations with other musicians. The first Evil Lucifera CD "Atrium Infernalis" will be out in 2012! The music is symphonic and aggressive black metal, where force and violence are mixed with majestic keyboard melodies. The aggressive compositions are enriched at times by melancholic decadent elements. The overall sound is powerful and violent, there is no use of clean vocals, giving a total preference to screams and growling. The lyrics are surrounded by a misanthropic, Satanic and anti-Christian aura, hatred and vengeance are linked to the strong anger towards this world and its hypocrisy, touching religious themes, a constant search for spiritual superiority, a search of higher Satanic beliefs, of divine punishment for the stupidity of the masses.
