A little later they were joined by the drummer, with whom Dmitry studied together at the music school. In the first years after the founding of the group, the musicians have been mostly studying, trying to develop. Over the years, a growing mastery of the musicians, sometimes slightly changing the composition of the group. In 2009, the group made the transition to musical direction, in which now playing. At some point, the group began to invent this stuff at rehearsals, in the process of jams. The process was very exciting, but long enough.

	I had some vibrations of what style the band's music is closest. I decided to specify heavy prog, because the musicians do not position themselves as a metal band, and apply to their music the term "art-rock".

	Thanks! I read your revised version of the biography. And, in my opinion, with the meaning of the text is all right, i.e. consistent with what I had in meant.
