About Me


Born in 1994 at the biggest Bulgarian Black sea town of Burgas they have established themselves as the best Bulgarian Black metal band. Still from the very beginning they appeared like completely finished act able to raise the inceptive Bulgarian extreme scene at a level never dreamed before. Basically inspired by bands like Arcturus, Emperor and Dimmu Borgir Korozy managed to create their own pattern in sympho-metal aesthetics. You would hardly find many other bands giving free space to keyboards so lavishly without losing anything from the basic aggression and the raw power of extreme metal.
Each one from their albums “Inscription” (1997), “Long Road to the Land of Black” (1999) and “From the Cradle to the Grave” (2001) was a natural and confident step forward. But perhaps the most unique thing about this band is that listening to any of them you would hardly find even one superfluous tune or a mediocre track. Every song is created with big heart, performed with great skill and it get such a catchy riff inside that you would fairly call it metal hit.
But you could feel the darkness, brutality and symphony even more powerful when KOROZY play alive. Quite zealous with their live appearances, they are always aiming to provide for everything that a real Black metal show must have: costumes, paints, female assistance and inner drama. There’s no need in much time to see them not just performing music but rather burning on stage. The crowd always catches it right and brings them back the whole powerful feeling twice. Sweet moments that every metal band dream of…
Their last album “From the Cradle to the Grave” blastingly shot KOROZY on international level. It’s officially distributed in countries like Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Russia, the United Kingdom and the USA. The German metal magazine ‘Legacy’ was the first that kindly turn his attention to the band, making an amasing review of the album (13/15 rate) and featuring them with exclusive article at the Newcomer’s section (issue 11 / March 2001). Then followed almost the same response from everywhere and even the ‘big guns’ like Orkus (7/10) and Rock Hard (8/10) were surprisingly favourable.
More active than ever nowadays Korozy find themselves in a constant fighting trim, working on the stuff for their 4th album and using every chance to taste it alive in front of their crowd of devoted fans. At the beginning of 2004 they recorded 4 completely new tracks, produced by Alessandro Azzali (the producer & manager of ANCIENT, NIGHT-IN-GAILS, etc.) Their new material develops further the Korozy trademark: this is the traditional atmospheric sound, which now is even more strongly influenced by some folklore and electronic elements.

Official albums

From the Cradle to the Grave 2000 O.4.3. (CD, MC) For orders [email protected]

Overview: Further step in bands career this album marks the top of their constant researches into the fields of the Black symphonic genre. Power, passion and melody still are the hallmarks here but also some other influences are being allowed. Such are the extracts from Bulgarian history and authentic folk-art, enhanced by the guest participation of the folk singer Gergana Dimitrova (who appears in the legendary La Mystere Des Voix Bulgare choir). Another challenge is the electro-remixed bonus version of one of the tracks. Recorded in one of the most prestigious Bulgarian sound studios (where mostly symphonic, authentic folk and movie music is being produced), with exquisitely designed cover this album is a representative sample of the Bulgarian extreme music scene as a whole.

Long Road to the Land of Black 1999 O.4.3. (MC, CD) For orders [email protected]

Overview: A brilliant album, representing the rise of this fantastic band, combining melody, romanticism, aggression and fully executing the symphonic way in Black metal in unique ‘Korozy’ -way. Music is performed with high technical skills and provokes deep emotions. This is the second album of the band and it combines material from two different periods of their existence; the latest one actually brought the deal between KOROZY and 0.4.3.

Inscription 1997 O.4.3. (MC)

For orders [email protected]

Overview: The first album of the band (previous to “Long Road…”), later re-released by 0.4.3. because of the constant interest and demand. Recorded back in 1995 it still sounds at the same great and strong way marking roots of the glorious times, which forerunned the actual assault of the mighty Black metal.
