Viperfish is a Bulgarian progressive punk-rock band. Formed in 2007 it currently consists of Adrian Gougov (main songwriter, lead guitar, lead vocals, and piano), Dimo Mezekliev (bass and backing vocals) and Matey Hristoskov (drums and backing-vocals). The style of the band could be defined as "aggressive, energetic, progressive rock with a melodramatic twist in it." The band has played at festivals in Bulgaria and the UK, as well as in most of the big venues in their home country, with over 50 performances to date. Viperfish have released one EP - ''Viperfish EP'' - and three singles - "Explosive", "Right Where I Belong" and "Hope of Relief". ==History== Although the band has had a number of different line-ups, the realistic and proper starting point would be the arrival of Matey behind the drums in 2007. With only a couple of rehearsals behind their backs, they entered a battle of the bands competition in Sofia and won second place, therefore winning themselves a spot at the big annual Bulgarian festival "Tzvete za Gosho". In 2008, the band claimed the Grand Prix and two more awards at the Nessebar Pop & Rock Competition, defeating over 40 other bands and performers. Since then Viperfish (previously performing as 'Evolution') began playing frequently in most of Sofia's clubs and made a name for themselves in the underground scene as one of the most aggressive and energetic live bands around. In December 2009 the band recorded six tracks and put them together into ''Viperfish EP''. One of the songs, "Stain", topped Z-Rock Radio's Main chart for 12 consecutive weeks. The band was featured in the Bulgaria edition of ''Rolling Stone'' as one of the four most prominent rock acts in the country at that time. In 2010, a music video was shot for "Explosive". The trio decided that this event was just what they needed to change their name to Viperfish and give a fresh start to everything. Two years later they won another award at the Nessebar Pop & Rock Festival for best original music. In the beginning of 2011 the band recorded and released two new songs which can be found on their website. In the summer of 2011 Viperfish played at the biggest international festival in Bulgaria: Spirit of Burgas, along with Deftones, Moby, Skindred and many others. In the summer of 2012 Viperfish made a memorable performance at Vasil Levski National Stadium as the opening act for the Sofia Rocks 2012 festival. Unfortunately this would be their last gig to date as Adrian would come to suffer from a vocal cord infection that has left him unable to sing. Following that concert the band has gone on an indefinite hiatus with no clarity on whether a reunion is ever taking place. 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「Viperfish (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
