Holy Blood played hardcore in 1999-2000, brutal death/grind in 2000-2001, then turned into melodic death metal. Their new logo image is the banner of Jesus Christ Pantokrator, which was used by ancient people who professed the Orthodox Christian faith. Vladislab Malitskiy was removed from the band in 2008. When Fedor Buzilevich stated his intention to bring his wife Vera Knyazyova back into the band to replace him, Sergei Nagorny, Alexei Andrushenko and Dmitry Titorenko all quit to form Oskord. Fedor Buzilevich only sang until the departure of Artyom Stupak in 2003. Buzilevich then started playing rhythm guitar and Sergei Nagorny switched from rhythm to lead.

Holy Blood has released four albums, “The Wanderer” [2002], “Waves are Dancing” [2005], being their most successful album by far, “The Patriot” [2008], and “Shining Sun” in 2010. All of Holy Blood‘s lyrics are in Ukrainian and Russian, but their song and album titles are in English.

Current members:  Fedor Buzilevich – lead vocals/flute/rhythm guitar, Vera Knyazyova – keyboards/vocals, Evgeniy Titarchuk – lead guitar, Ira Klesch – bass, Victor Serbin – drums, Grigoriy Nazarov – rhythm guitar.
