The offical MAGNIT/CREDO-thread

[Metalipeiklo]

Aah!!! Through some research I managed to find out what some of the musicians from CREDO did after "Platim...". In 1995 Karen Melik released a solo output on CD format (Russian Disc RDCD 00488) called "Рашен казашен" ("Razhen Kazazhen"). Performing on the record was as well Bobrov (Magnit and Credo "leader") as well as Kirpitjnikov (vocals in Credo). The album is supposed to have some "modern computerized arrangements". Hmm, not too promising.

Maybe Destrozer or Boris can find out if there's any info, good or bad, about this record. I got the info from here but I can't understand all of it:

In any case, the cover looks like this:

I'm trying to download tracks of Credo from metalrus.ru page but in vain. All I got is a page is ! ! ! , plenty of hieroglyphs and senseless sponsoring links. Anybody else has same problems. Tony, could you check?

[DaN]

Those servers are often overloaded. Try on different hours of the day.

[Noisenik]

It seems to me it has more to do with registering ... I tried once - didn't succeed.

[Fucking Åmål]

Downloading from metalrus usually works fine to me when using Internet Explorer.On the other hand if i use Mozilla Firefox simply they don't get downloaded.If you face after using Internet Explorer the same problem PM me to upload the Credo album in the Poisonoise section.It is simply the best russian record and don't you even dare to miss it!

[Noisenik]

Eucharisto in advance, Vaggeli. Hope it wouldn't be necessary, yet one never knows. And I use IE

[boris]

it's simply because the server gets overloaded, happened to me a lot with metalrus. try the next day or something, it should work.
a good album, far from the best Russian album though, that title would belong to something of Aria or Black Obelisk.

[Noisenik]

Yes you were right guys. I succeeded this evening.

[Metalipeiklo]

Happy evening then! I'm personally sitting in a world of russian metal-listening with a book about the Chornobyl disaster, drinking polish beer. Öhö...

Alright, so I re-discovered this album.
Not a masterpiece, but certainly good work. No doubt that these guys were very good musicians. And what a song Eleonora is!

According to Metal Archives, the band released two other albums. Anyone heard them?

[The Knell]

The band evolved to Kredo in the early 90ies and released one additional album which is really good too.

You can listen to the earlier Magnit albums here: http://metalrus.ru/plug-e-files-c-magnit_detectiv.html

And you should really listen to the Credo album. It's marvelous!

My favorite one as well! I like 'em more than Credo.

[The Sentinel]

I bought this LP for peanuts a year ago but still haven't gave it a proper listen. I know it takes time to sink into my mind.

I actually like 'Детектив' or 'De-tech-teeve' better than 'Dies Irae' because its got that baritone voiced blokey singing on all the songs, which are all killer. 'Слушай Рок' i think is 'we love rock' or something and is bloody catchy, 'Снег' is like Holy Diver, only with some additional twiddly bits, the title-track is good, the 'Prokofiev'-themed one is good too...I can't remember which one that is but it uses the themes from his 'Alexender Nevsky' I believe. My favourite song though is 'Ниоткуда Никуда' which is a sexy vocal master-class and features lead-guitar melody loveliness.
