Our Story:

THE BEGINNING

Mr. _Doom: "It's the same as then and now - mostly painful, sometimes amusing."

I. Alokin: "And yet, didn’t it all start about a decade ago? In the ancient town of Serdika, known at present as Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria?"



THE NAME

Velissa V.: "Oh, yes, Cigaretta’s members are smokers. Heavy smokers..."

I. Alokin: "Oh, no, they didn't choose the band’s name because of this. Not at all."



THE PHILOSOPHY

Mr. _Doom: "It hides in the effort to make things in a different way - not just the music, but especially its preparation. If the preparation is ok, the music turns out fine as well."



THE MUSIC

Rhythm Magazine: "Music that makes you wanna go out in the rain and get wet after you’ve just dried up."



THE INSPIRATIONS

Mr. _Doom: "Pure rage. Pure anger. Pure malice. Pure fear."



"14 DEMOS"

Velissa V.: "That’s the band’s debut release, self-unleashed in 2002, right? It sounded..."

Literature Newspaper: "…sometimes Tool-ish, sometimes Placebo-esque."



"14 SONGS"

I. Alokin: "Ah, the bluish album. Cigaretta’s firstborn... officially. Play it and..."

Tokkata: "...you’ll drown in the magic of something new... Tune by tune, song by song... 14 songS... You feel there's a change coming. Over you... mercilessly... plunging you into a rhythm of doom..."



THE SEQUEL

Mr. _Doom: "...14 albums, 14 live musicians, 14 love letters, 14 reasons to stay alive..."

Velissa V.: "...and "Pluke"!"



"PLUKE"

-> The title of Cigaretta’s second full-length studio album.

-> Recorded from August to November 2005 at The Temple of _Doom, Sofia, Bulgaria.

-> Mixed and mastered at Stain Studio from December 2005 to February 2006.

-> To be unleashed in March 2006 by Stain Studio.

-> Pluke - a desert planet in a lunatic Soviet Union movie. “Q!” (a curse) and “koo” (everything else) are the main words (t)here.

-> Again, “Pluke” is just a working title.

-> “Pluke” contains not 14, but 16 songS. The songs’ running order is subject to constant change...
