Stigmata

Stigmata was formed in 2002 by Taras Urmanskiy (Guitar) and Dennis Kitschenko (Bass guitar) but they did not have a name. The band did get it's name a few month later however. Some journalists have said that the bands name has a religious background. In 2004 two new members joined the band: Nikita Ignatjew (Drums) and vocalist Artjom Lozki. At the beginning of being a band, they organized their own concerts and a music video on their own. The same year they also signed a recording contract with the Russian music label Kap-Kan Records and also recorded their first full-length album entitled Конвеер снов (English: Conveyor Of Dreams).The album was released in Sep 2004, and re-released in May 2005.
