They say:  The project «ORGIA PRAVEDNIKOV» («Orgy of The Righteous») was formed in 1999 by uniting the creative potentials of art-rock band "ARTEL" and rock-bard Sergey Kalugin. The peculiar sound of the band arises from the original combination of acoustic (flute and acoustic guitar) and electric (drums, electric guitar and bass guitar) sessions.

From the moment of their origin the band has declared their purpose as forming the new style, in which the most valuable and the most interesting achievements of the native musical tradition would be combined with the tradition of world rock music. This challenge was very difficult, because the heart of Russian musical culture is romance, with its exceedingly free breath. While rock music means first of all exact and thorough rhythm. But combination of incongruous things is the forte of the band, you can see it even in its name. It turned out that the usage of high-speed and very complicated rhythm elements of the rhythm- section, which are typical for progressive rock, gives in combination with broad and free - sounding tune, the effect which we can compare with permanent «ad libitum» of traditional Russian romance.

It is also typical for the romance to have specific but not «rock» vocal and the part of accompaniment, which is based on continual arpeggio and played on the piano or guitar. «Orgy of The Righteous» in a very unique way introduced arpeggio of an acoustic guitar in a heavy sound of a rock-band. This decision has formed the original sound of the project, which does not have any analogues in the world. It should be said that it is typical for a classical Russian culture (not only the musical one) to appeal to other cultural codes, epochs and traditions.
