Album story
The band «Plen Off g.r. + Metal M.» was formed in 2004 by two like-minded people: keyboardist and composer Mikhail «Metal M.» Uspensky and sound engineer and restorer of recordings Igor «Plen Off» Plenov. At the time Igor was busy collecting and restoring the archives of Russian rock, in particular the legacy of «Rossiyane» and Oblachny Kray.
In the summer of 2006, thanks to Evgeny Guberman, the band met the leader of Oblachny Kray, Sergey Bogaev. They decided to create a joint project, which resulted in two concept albums in a heavy experimental style that follows no particular direction: new electronic rock, heavy & cyber metal, hard rock, avantgarde, industrial, progressive, dark ambient, noise, black symphonic metal. «Mysteries of the Universe» and «Damaged Reality» came out in January–March 2007.
