Corrosia Metalla (''Коррозия Металла'', Russian for "Corrosion of metal",〔Different transcriptions also include Korrozia, Korrosija, and others.〕) is a Russian (formerly Soviet) thrash metal band led by Sergey "Pauk" Troitsky. It is best known for black humour lyrics and provocative public performances. ==Biography== Corrosia was founded in 1984 in Moscow by bass guitarist Sergey Troitsky, better known under stage name Pauk (Russian for "spider"). All other members of the band have also taken stage names: Boar (Sergey Vysokosov) - guitars, Schizophrenic - vocals, Clutch (Roman Lebedev) - guitars, Saxon (Vadim Mikhailov) - bass guitar, Morgue - drums. The band's first live show was illegally carried out in an apartment house basement. Annoyed by their noise, the neighbours called for police, which forced Corrosia to leave the stage. Next year the band joined Moscow Rock Lab, which allowed to perform rock music legally. The band's first album, ''Orden Satany'' (Order of the Satan) was released in 1988. No Soviet state label was ready to release that kind of music, so Pauk created his own one, Corporation of Heavy Rock (Korporatsia Tyazhologo Roka, KTR, or КТР in Cyrillic). Before the album was recorded, Schizophrenic was fired and since then Boar performed vocals as well as guitar. Morgue was replaced by Yasher (Lizard). ''Orden Satany'' presented a raw thrash metal with heavy hardcore punk influence, the so-called crossover thrash. In late Soviet years, censorship was lifted, and Corrosia became notorious for lyrics and imagery that, although consistent with western shock rock traditions, were quite provocative by Soviet Russia's measures. For their live shows, they employed strip girls to dance on stage and decorated it with pyrotechnics and "satanic" imagery. Similarly, the band's lyrics consisted of black humour and strong language, describing violence, supernatural and sex. Corrosia Metalla albums were named ''Cannibal'' (1990) or ''Sadism'' (1992), and their 'trademark' songs include such titles as ''Vampire Tank, AIDS, Eat Alive, Dead Rasputin''. In 90s, Pauk eventually fired all the original line-up and gradually shifted to right-wing ultranationalist lyrics, similar to that of Oi! bands, albeit keeping the band's trademark black humor in place. The album ''1.966'' even featured a stylized version of a swastika on the cover and the song ''White Power''.〔http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Коррозия_Металла/1.966/1585〕 During the promotional tour for ''Computer Hitler'' album, Corrosia even employed a Hitler impersonator for their live shows. Pauk indicated his interest in politics when nominated himself for mayor of Moscow in 1993,〔(Mayor of Moscow? Spider the Metalhead Is Ready to Serve ), Wall Street Journal, 18. February 1993〕 and for mayor of Khimki in 2012. He also runs grindcore side project Anal Nosorog. Corrosia's songs were covered by the number of artists. The band's best known song, ''Russian vodka'', was covered by Koldbrann〔(KOLDBRANN: 'Russian Vodka / Metalni Bog' Seven-Inch Single Now Available ) - Sep. 9, 2009〕 and Aggressor.〔(Estonian metal: Aggressor biography )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corrosia Metalla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
