“FreaKozaks” Story
“FreaKozaks” was founded in Krasnodar in autumn 2007 by the ex-members of “Aspect” Anton Emelyanov (guitar), Sergey Krasnozhen (drums) and Alexander Chumakov (vocals). Roman Ryabtsev has joined the band as a bass player. So on, the musicians have started to write new material for their debut album. The music style of this album can be defined as modern & progressive metal.
During the time in “Aspect” Anton, Sergey and Alex met the famous guitarist Victor Smolski (“Rage”). Victor was impressed by the music of these young musicians from Krasnodar and invited “FreaKozaks” to join Rage’s European Tour-2008 as support-band. During the tour “FreaKozaks” has visited 13 European countries, played in 31 concert halls usually receiving an enthusiastic welcome from the audience and permanently gaining a great experience of team-work with “monsters” of Heavy Metal.
After the tour “FreaKozaks” came back to Krasnodar where their debut album “Back Outside” has been recorded. It will be released by Drakkar Records in the beginning of 2010. Producer of the album was Victor Smolski.

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
