------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------“HEAVY CROSS” was established in 1988. From the very first day of its existence the group has been taking most active part in the Georgian rock movement through numerous performances, concerts, tours and festivals. In 1990 the group won the prize of the international rock festival in Liepaja (Latvia). Since 1988 the lineup of the group has changed several times. In 2001 the group suffered the death of its drummer David Zibzibadze.Despite the fact that over the thirty years of its existence the group has been constantly creating its own music the first studio album was released only in 2002. It was a collection of songs created between 1997 and 2002, and was dedicated to the memory of David Zibzibadze. The songs were performed by Mamuka Chikhladze (guitar), Levan Kapanadze (bas, back vocal), Levan Beitrishvili (vocal), David Zibibadze (drums, records of 1997) and Dimitri Oganesyan (drums, records of 2002). In 2005 the group won the contest “Patrinote” with the song “A Georgian’s Duty” (Five Cross Flag). In the same year, Levan Kapanadze and Levan Beitrishvili were invited to participate in the project “We Remember”. Together with other participants they created and recorded the song “We Remember”.In 2007 the group released a new album “FanX” with Goga Ioramashvili as a vocalist ("HEAVY CROSS" 1995-1997) . The songs in this album – all being rather diverse stylistically - have a much heavier sound than previous ones. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---Current lineup of "HEAVY CROSS" is:Mamuka Chikhladze - Guitar, Giorgi Chubinidze - Guitar, Levan Kapanadze - Bass, Vocal, Giorgi Ioramashvili - Vocal, Dimitri Oganesian - Drums.------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- heavy cross new album"Fan-X"video
