Kalinov Most
Kalinov Most (Калинов мост) is a Russian folk rock band from Novosibirsk. The band was formed in 1984 by vocalist and songwriter Dmitry Revyakin.[1] History of the group1980s-1990s In 1984, students of the Novosibirsk Electrotechnical Institute Dmitry Revyakin and Dmitry Selivanov, decided to create their own rock band, founding Kalinov Most in the mid-1980s in Novosibirsk. In 1986, they were joined by drummer Viktor Chaplygin and bassist Andrey Shchennikov. The name "Kalinov Most" was suggested by Revyakin's then-girlfriend Olga, who later became his wife. Selivanov left and was replaced by guitarist Vasily Smolentsev. The band's studio activity began in 1988, when Dmitry Revyakin met producer Stas Namin. In the fall, the band moved to Moscow to record its first studio album, but due to a lack of experience and instability in the lineup, it was left uncompleted. In 1990, Kalinov Most came to Moscow again, where they recorded their debut album Vyvoroten, released on vinyl. Later, the band recorded two more albums there: Darza and Uzaren'. At the same time, the group began touring in Western Russia. After the release of the concert compliation Traven', Revyakin announced his departure and took up the solo project Revyakin i Soratniki. In 1997, Kalinovv Most began rehearsing material for a new album, Oruzhiye. Andrey Shchennikov left the band, replaced by Oleg Tatarenko. In 1998, Oruzhiye released to wide acclaim, with many critics recognizing it as a landmark in Russian rock. Around the same time, archival recordings were released on the Moroz Records label. The year's releases had significantly improved the band's financial situation, and it acquired many regular fans in St. Petersburg and Moscow. From 1998 to 2003, the group included bassist Yevgeny Baryshev, whom Revyakin met in Chita. 2000sIn 2001, Kalinov Most released the album Ruda, after which it took a five-year break in releasing albums. During this time, the band repeatedly changed its lineup, performed in different cities, and recorded material for a new album. Guitarist Konstantin Kovachev joined the lineup, replacing Vasily Smolentsev. In 2006, the album SWA was released, featuring a heavier emphasis on lyrics. The album is dedicated to the memory of Dmitry's wife Olga, who died of a heart attack in December 2005. In 2007, the album Ledyanoy pokhod was released, which was radically different from the previous one in lyrical content. The album is almost entirely dedicated to the theme of war and heroism, expressed sympathy for the White movement, and was influenced by Russian Orthodoxy, which Revyakin accepted in 2000. Revyakin himself considers it to be Kalinov Most's most important album, saying that it "fulfilled Kalinov Most's mission". In 2009, Kalinov Most's next album, Serdtse, was released, with its central theme being love. Like SWA, the album is dedicated to the memory of Olga. In July 2009, the band headlined several festivals: Nahsestviye, Serdtse Parmy (Perm Krai), and Rok-etno-stan (Sverdlovsk Oblast). 2010sIn 2010, Kalinov Most released Kalinov Most: Zhatva Catharsis Quest on DVD, was released.
