Stigmata (Russian band)
Stigmata is a Russian metal band formed in Saint Petersburg in 2003. By 2023, the band has released 6 studio albums, 1 EP, 1 compilation album and two live DVDs.
Stigmata originates from a then-unnamed band formed in 2000. In 2003, the word "stigmata" was accidentally found by bassist Denis Kichenko and chosen for being memorable and pleasant to the ear, also the first letter "S" turned into a cool logo. Original singer Artur Maltsev left and vocalist Artyom "Nel'son" Lotskih joined the band.
In 2004, guitarist Igor Kapranov left Stigmata to join another Russian metal band, Amatory, as a singer. Stigmata signed a record deal with Russian music label Kap-Kan Records and released their first full-length album titled Конвейер снов (Transliteration: Konveyer Snov/English: Conveyor of Dreams).
The band's second album Больше чем любовь (Bolshe Chem Lyubov/Bigger than Love) was released in September 2005. In early 2006, Stigmata released a DVD called Pieces of Life consisting of 17 tracks. The same year, original drummer Nikita Ignatyev left the band and was replaced by Philipp Terpetsky. Andrey Anisimov joined as the lead guitarist.
In December 2006, Stigmata released a single called "Лёд" ("Lyod"/"Ice").
In 2007 toured through Russia and supported Killswitch Engage and Caliban on their live gigs in Russia. The single "Сентябрь" ("Sentyabr"/"September") was released the same year and has since became the band's biggest hit and an Internet meme. In September 2007, Stigmata signed to Navigator Records and released its third, sel-titled studio album Stigmata. At the end of 2007, Philipp Terpetsky left the band and Fyodor Lokshin became the new drummer. In 2008, the band released their second DVD titled Acoustic & Drive. In support of Stigmata, the band toured through Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, and Ukraine and shared the stage with Pleymo and Natalie Imbruglia on Russia's biggest Rock music festival "Крылья" ("Wings").
In 2009, the band released a single "Взлёт и Падение" ("Vzlet i Padeniye"/"Rise and Fall"). The same year Anisimov was replaced by Artyom Teplinsky on guitars. In 2010, the fourth studio album Мой путь (Moi Put/My Way) was released via Navigator Records. The album was released in two versions: a regular CD-version consisting of 10 tracks and a Digital version with additional Intro, Outro and three music videos.
In 2010, the band supported Bullet for My Valentine and Ozzy Osbourne on their concerts in Russia and toured extensively, having played over 50 dates in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, including such festivals as Nashestvie, Окна Открой! (Okna Otkroi!/Open Windows!) and Соседний мир (Sosedny Mir/Neighbouring World) among others.
