Starting of playing covers from Pestilence, Gorefest, Paradise Lost, Death etc. they developed an own sound throughout the years. Keywords to describe their music today: diverse, groovy, modern, catchy, Death-Thrash, a bite of high-tech soundscapes. DISCOGRAPHY 1995 : Lovelorn demo 1996 : Drift of Empathy CD - Hammerheart Records 1998 : 'Escape' MCD - Polar Bear Records 1999 / 2001 : 'Graceful...yet Forbidding' CD - DSFA / Edgerunner 2002 : 'Flesh_Power_Dominion' CD - Metal Blade Records 2003 : 'My Passion // Your Pain' CD - Metal Blade Records 11-2005 : '[ Pitch.Black.Effects ]' CD - Metal Blade Records THE NEW ALBUM Recorded during the months May and June at aRe U Recordings in The Netherlands with producer Gail Liebling (mastermind Gail of God) behind the knobs. The mix was done in July with the highly acclaimed Tue Madsen (a.o. The Haunted, Illdisposed & Mnemic) at his already legendary Antfarm Studio in Denmark. The album was mastered again by Peter Neuber at Mega Wimp Sound in Germany and last but not least the artwork for the new album was created by Danish art talent Mircea Gabriel Eftemie at Cadaverman Media. The new album music wise... well... imagine the best of what Callenish Circle did on both Metal Blade albums, add some really cool groovy parts and combine this already deadly cocktail with high-tech wacky soundscapes, delivered by mr. Liebling himself. The new album will also be released as a limited edition luxury digipack CD/DVD set. The DVD will feature a completely professional (audio & visual) recorded live-show (recorded at the 013 venue in Tilburg), festival reports on the band's trips to the Piorno Rock Festival in Spain (2004) and the Brutal Assault Festival in Czech Republic (2005), a full studio-report on the new album and some other interesting stuff.

eXile - Issue #179 - Feature Story - The eXile introduces amateur Whore-R Stories! - By Travis Jones Moscow-based alternativenewspaper Search the eXile All Issues This Issue This Author This Column | Advanced Search... Email thousands of beautiful Russian Ladies! Home | Archive | Club Guide | Restaurant Guide | Songs | Field Guide To Moscow | Political Trading Cards | About Us Browse Column (107) Previous (58) Next (47) The eXile introduces... amateur Whore-R Stories! By Travis Jones T hose of us who have sought female companionship over the Internet are familiar with some of the Russian language sites that cater to our interests: loving.ru, dating.ru, and omen.ru are among the most popular. Every few days I get an e-mail from dating.ru, which features the latest round-up of Russian girls looking to find a boyfriend over the Internet. After all, men who have Internet access probably have better job prospects. In fact, we're an elite; according to either The Moscow Times or my girlfriend, only 2% of Russians use the Internet at home. Most of the girls on these sites are here in Moscow or in St. Petersburg -- these cities have lots of bored office workers and students with access to scanners capable of uploading a flattering picture to the Internet. When you look over the pictures of girls from the provinces, you notice that most of them have sent almost identical pictures of themselves, scantily clad, in front of drapes. Somebody posed them for these shots, so they obviously work for porn sites. But which ones? Most of us remember the beginning of "amateur" Internet porn. A college-aged girl would scan a bunch of pictures and find some commercial site designer to make her site with an early version of FrontPage. A start-up credit card processing company on the web would be used to process payments. Doing this requires a degree of initiative and intelligence, which limited the number of these sites as attractive girls with these qualities can usually find basic office jobs. But soon studios that would hire several girls and offer monthly access started getting into the business. For girls in the provinces, these studios were really the only option, because DSL and cable modems were not yet available in most of provincial Russia. All of this changed when the Ifriends network opened its doors on Valentine's Day, 1998. Ifriends is a portal that offers 'exhibitors' easy-to-download software that lets them use a 50 dollar webcam to produce streaming video online. By '98, there were thousands of porn sites with only a few girls each; Ifriends offered a central meeting place for would-be porn stars and balding, 40 year old executives to exchange services for cash. Women would use a text chat to lure men into a 'private show' in which they could then take off their clothes. Registered members got access to archive pictures, which were often superior to the pictures offered at a price on the other sites. For its trouble, iFriends collects 50% of their revenues. It is extremely easy for a girl to list herself on iFriends; as an experiment, I once pointed a Logitech webcam that I had hooked up to my old 233 at my ex-girlfriend's bunnies and let them prance around online in front of perverts from Missouri for nearly an hour. This the rabbits did free of charge. A year or two after iFriends opened its doors, girls from other countries started to appear on the site. These girls, rather than working alone from home, were employed by studios that would set up cameras and beds with computers. This was nothing new, but they used the same free software and cheap cameras that had been available to everyone for years. A cursory glance at Ifriends today reveals that there are 1700 girls logged on. Most of these girls work at studios in Russia, Romania, Latvia and the Czech Republic. For whatever reason, certain cities seem to predominate in the number of girls they feature, particularly Saint Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Riga, and Bucharest. Trying to talk to such girls in the "guest chat" room can often prove nearly impossible. They are given a list of things to say when someone comes into their "room" in order to get them to log on for a private video session. You can't really take offense to this: these girls don't have a clue what you're saying. In addition, studios usually forbid girls from talking extensively to guests if the guests don't start paying. Most of the girls stick pretty closely to their scripts. Fortunately, their pictures are always available. After having the same conversation about twelve times, it is possible to find a girl who actually wants to talk. In this case, she's usually interested in talking to an English-speaker who doesn't just babble about sex. Sometimes not. Sending a picture usually helps. I found out about Camcontacts last year from a girl in Piter who had posted a personal ad on dating.ru. These girls are attractive but not particularly better looking than other Russian girls their age; in other words, just because they are "porn stars" in a sense doesn't mean they have any more luck than other girls in real life. Go to dating.ru and you'll always run into the telltale curtains hanging in the background. These sites only make money when you pay by the minute for live nude chat. That's pretty pointless for anyone who's actually in Russia, as a fifteen minute session can cost you as much as a venture with a whore from Omen.ru I first met Anna two weeks ago on Camcontacts. She was a fair-skinned, 22-year old bleached blonde who moved to the golden ring city of Kostroma to escape the husband she left in Kirov; her three-year-old daughter lives with her. She attended a local "technological university" and works some hours at a factory that makes processed meat, in addition to her chatroom income. Anna won't tell me how much she makes, but the average chatroom girl working on her own makes about $800 a month. Studio girls make half this or less. Since most people in Kostroma Oblast make less than $200 a month, chatroom girls are well-paid by local standards. The hours can be long; Anna usually works for 12 hours a day or more; but most of these hours consist of waiting for someone to come in to watch her take off her clothes and finger herself for a few minutes. I invited myself out to Kostroma to visit Anna. She was very happy with this and selected a "hearts" motif for her yahoo pager background. I'd never seen the city, which is about a seven-hour train trip from Moscow. According to the only information available in English at waytorussia.net, the only train to the city of 280,000 leaves slightly before midnight, although there are regular busses. I found several hotels in the city: a "Guest House" that offers doubles for 50 dollars a night or 5 dollars an hour, an old Intourist place for 500 rubles a day that Anna seemed to like, and a boat-hotel for 300 rubles a night which she claims is frequented by the city's prostitutes. That Saturday evening I took the train to Kostroma. Platzkart is 12 dollars or so each way whereas Kupe is about 18. The train went via Yaroslavl; the two cities are about 80 km apart from each other but not connected by a major highway. I wanted to spend a few hours in Yaroslavl, a city I'd never seen, so I took the second class car as far as Yaroslavl and spent a few hours at a divey local discotheque called "Partizan," where I was rescued from some thugs by an English major at the university and her friends. The Armenian taxi driver informed me that the local whores ran at about 500 rubles apiece. I went platzkart to Kostroma from there. The scene out the window was run-down izbas and the occasional factory. The single-family houses struck me, probably because I hadn't left Moscow since June. Anna and I played e-mail tag while I wandered around town after checking in at the Kostroma Hotel. This hotel, which wasn't listed on the city site, has several types of rooms, including suites, first, and third class. First class rooms are $16 a night for a single with a bath, shower, tv and phone. Third class rooms are $10, but you have to share a bathroom. The hotel was out of first class rooms so I opted for the $10 room. Kostroma looked better than I'd expected, more European than most Russian cities. It's run-down like most of Russia but lacks the spiritually barren pressed-concrete architecture that characterizes many Russian cities. It was once one of the principal Commercial cities along the Volga and is as old as Moscow. It has a central open-air market and kremlin that are both several hundred years old. Perhaps most amazing about the city is that it has so many good, inexpensive restaurants, including an 'Art Cafe' where the only art on the wall consists of pictures of (clothed) young women. Most of the food is standard Russian fare, although there are two decent Pizzerias and an English restaurant called Camelot. The pizza at the pizzeria doesn't have any tomato paste, but unlike most french fries in Moscow it comes with a bottle of ketchup, spelled 'katsoop' on the menu. I guess this serves as a proxy for the tomato paste. I went to a disco in the center of town where the cover was 40 rubles and beers were 25-30. There was almost nobody there except some whores in the lobby that I chatted up for half an hour or so. Some guy they knew showed up and bugged them for $10 blowjobs, picking at Polina's fishnet stockings, which she was wearing over a regular pair of tights. Two of them had phone numbers, another did not. Not all of Kostroma made it into the 20th century and many people still don't have a home phone. When I returned from the disco, I found a message from Anna -- she had gone to work at 10, got my message, and come to the hotel only to leave when I didn't come back. The next day I waited in the morning in the lobby of the hotel for Anna to come. She arrived around 11:30. She was a bit of a disappointment -- she had looked rather young in the whitewashed pictures that she had posted on the web site. In real life she had crow's feet and could have passed for 30. She was fairly tall, standing about 5'8" or 5'9" in her high-heeled 'fuck me' boots. She was wearing a sweater with a generic label in English and skin-tight pants. She had bleached blonde hair and was smoking Next cigarettes. 'We need go to hospital..." she said. I wondered what was wrong. Apparently she had some minor malady that required a trip to the gynecologist. I'd never started a date with a trip to the gynecologist, but the rates posted on the wall were reasonable enough -- appointments were less than three dollars, surgery only $20 or so. After Anna was given a clean bill of health, we made our way to her friend Olya's apartment. Olya was also a chat girl. Anna said it was Olya's birthday, so we bought a cake on the way for Olya's place. Olya wasn't home, but her mom was, and fed us soup, tea, cranberry juice, and a shot each of home-made Ukrainian vodka which tasted a bit like Swedish Aquavit. While we waited around, we proceeded to eat half the cake. Nobody bothered to light any candles or make a wish. Olya's cat and 18-year-old son were home. She had a husband too, but he was away. The apartment was a standard one-room place on the first floor of a Stalin-era building. In the one-room place dwelt: Olya, Olya's mom, Olya's son, Olya's husband, and Olya's cat. "Nice kitty," I told Anna. "Oh -- you can have her -- there isn't any room for her." I would have considered it if not for the big, fat ticks on the cat's back. Olya came home. She was seven months pregnant, and looked it. She had short, dyed blonde hair, pretty lips and a cute nose, but her pregnant-mom overalls and crowded apartment weren't exactly stimulating. Besides, she looked pissed off, even before I offended her by saying "Foo!" when she lit a cigarette, my middle class instincts kicking in. Olya ignored me from then on. She didn't speak any English anyway, and wasn't as willing to listen to my bumbling Russian as her Mom had been. Olya had bigger problems; she was in the middle of a divorce. "Don't worry," Anna said. "Olya smoke last time pregnant." After playing with the cat and toddler for a few minutes, Anna and I took off for her studio. I never actually got a look at the studio; I waited outside the studio and had a cigarette. It was in an anonymous residential building; the entrance was a standard korpus that resembled half of the Stalin-era korpusi in Moscow. Anna got her friend Lena, who went to a bar with us where she explained how the girls' set-up worked. Lena had long, chestnut-brown hair, a round face and what she described as a Kazakh looking nose. She had an energetic personality; it was hard to assess her body under the large winter coat she was wearing. I forget the name of the bar, but it wasn't bad for a city with the size and average disposable income of Kostroma. Lena was of average build; Anna was much more fit but looked older. Lena showed me her passport; she had just had her 23rd birthday. Anna claimed to have lost her passport in a taxi. There was hardly anybody in the bar, but the waitress insisted that if we wanted a table that we had to pay at least 300 rubles between the three of us. I almost laughed at the low minimum, but then again, nothing on the menu was more than fifty rubles. Lena, Anna and I proceeded to drink Baltika 3's. Lena's English was much better than Anna's, and so we were able to talk about their workplace. The studio had three rooms; one with pink drapes, one with blue ones, and one with green ones. Each room had a bed; there were eight computers. Each woman operated a computer; customers came rarely enough so that nobody had to worry about sharing the bed that served as a setting for most of the strip-tease. Women could come and go as they pleased: there were about 30-40 women, total, but many only worked part-time. Others worked 12 hours a day. Lena practically lived there and at her sister's place. They didn't have a steady flow of customers, but when men did log in, they usually spent three or so dollars a minute. Everything was optional; the girls didn't have to finger themselves, use dildos, or anything, but usually did, as not doing so would mean that they didn't attract men into their chat rooms. Men usually had strange requests. One request Lena remembered was that she put on 3 times as much makeup as average and drink vodka -- somebody out there gets off on Russian-slut stereotypes, I guess. She was amused when a foot fetishist came to her -- all he did was pay to jerk off and look at her feet while she sat back and reviewed English words. A subsequent look at the site revealed that most of the archived pictures were soft-core if they were porn at all, although one did feature Olya holding a dildo. Lena and Anna insisted that they weren't bi, although a look at the site revealed a few pictures of them naked together. Lena told me she'd grossed $1,200 last month. Her studio takes 60%, so her net was about $500. She said there was a studio in Moscow that only took 40%. The girls supplemented their incomes by courting the interests of repeat customers, who were sometimes the object of their romantic fixations. Anna liked one guy from Michigan, and one from the west end of Alexandria, Virginia; both had sent her things and talked to her extensively on the phone. After we'd had more drinks, I drew a map showing Anna how far it was between Michigan and Virginia, and scribbled www.greyhound.com for her on a piece of paper. I asked why the girls didn't log on from home alone. "I have a computer at home and can log in whenever I want to -- you could do the same and buy a camera and work from home." They didn't understand; they thought I wanted to set up a studio. "If you set up a studio, we might work for you but only if we stop working at our studio...we don't want our boss to see us online working somewhere else," Lena said. Unfortunately, there are more barriers to getting online than just the prospect of buying a computer with a 50-dollar web-cam. As it had become so apparent at Olya's place, living conditions were often too cramped to work from home. Anna had a son that she didn't want exposed to her work, and Lena didn't have her own place. Rental properties were hard to find for less than $200 because most people inherited their places from the Soviet era and effectively lived in condominiums. High speed Internet access was difficult to set up, and dial-up access required a phone line. The biggest problem, however, was that of getting paid by Ifriends or Camcontacts. Ifriends is in America and Camcontacts in America and the UK, and both mail paper checks to their chat-hostesses rather than wiring them the cash. Getting a check from the US or UK and cashing it in Russia can take months even in a large city; Kostroma's banks don't have many of the features that those in Moscow do. To get paid, the money would have to be deposited to a US account by a friend and then sent to them via Western Union. I invited the girls back to my hotel. "We have to work tonight -- we are going to Moscow for several days so we need the money." This was news to me: I knew that a trip was planned but Anna was undecided as to whether or not she wanted to go to Moscow. I asked her how much she planned to make that night. She said that it could be as little as 200 rubles but as much as $50 dollars, but probably more like $10. The next day, they saw me off at the gray, Soviet-era bus station; they would take the train later on that day and arrive in the morning. So there you have it: the girls didn't want to come back to my hotel with me because they couldn't pass up an opportunity to make a dollar an hour or less. Unfortunately, my Megafon account has run out of money, so they won't be able to get through to me. Anna wasn't nearly as attractive in real life, although her friend was cute. Unfortunately, we all know how hard it is to switch friends. So I may wait a day or so before turning my phone on again.
