Глеб Самойлоff & The Matrixx
Theatrical gothic rock fused with sharp industrial synths. A cynical, high-energy descent into urban noir and existential defiance.
Theatrical gothic rock fused with sharp industrial synths. A cynical, high-energy descent into urban noir and existential defiance.
This is music for the disillusioned and the nocturnal. It carries the weight of Russian rock history but strips away the sentimentality, replacing it with a jagged, electronic edge. The sound is a collision between the dramatic flair of gothic cabaret and the cold, unyielding pulse of industrial metal. It feels like a neon-lit alleyway: bright, harsh, and slightly dangerous.
Gleb Samoylov’s vocal delivery is the centerpiece, oscillating between a weary whisper and a defiant, theatrical sneer. The production is dense and often aggressive, using synthesizers not just for melody but as a rhythmic weapon. It is music that refuses to be background noise, demanding an emotional response through its sheer intensity and lyrical bite.
Start with 'Прекрасное жестоко' to hear the band at their most iconic. It perfectly captures the transition from the melodic gothic roots of Samoylov's past into the more experimental, aggressive electronic territory that defines The Matrixx. It is the ideal soundtrack for moments of solitary rebellion or late-night urban exploration.
