The history of the creation and composition of the group The Seventh Race
The history of the group dates back to 1993. At the origins of the team is the talented Alexander Rastich. At that time, he was just in search of the perfect sound. For Rustich, it was a period of musical experimentation and the search for his "I".
Soon the singer gathered like-minded people around him. The end result was the formation of an alternative group "7 race". The following musicians joined the band:
- Sergei Yatsenko;
- Dima Stepanov;
- Dmitry Myslitsky.
1997 is the year the band officially formed. At this time, frontman and vocalist Alexander Rastich was responsible for the lyrics of the tracks. The musical works that came out from under his pen were distinguished by a depressive mood. Alexander was going through hard times and tried to convey emotions to his listeners.
Line-up changes took place even before the moment when they were covered by a wave of popularity. Sergei chose to leave the project. Luckily, his position didn't last long. Soon a new member joined the line-up in the person of Peter Tambiev.
Together with the new member, the guys recorded a demo. At this stage, the team left Myslitsky. Egor Podtyagin took his place. Soon the guitarist and drummer also left 7ras, and talented musicians Serge Govorun and Konstantin Chalykh took their place. Today, music critics call this composition "golden".
