Korrozia Metalla was founded in 1984 in Moscow, USSR by bass guitarist Sergey Troitsky, better known under stage name Pauk (Spider). All other members of the band have also taken stage names: Boar (Sergey Vysokosov) - guitars, Schizophrenic - vocals, Crutch (Roman Lebedev) - guitars, Sucks (Vadim Mikhailov) - bass guitar, Morgue - drums. The band's first live show was illegally carried out in an appartement house basement. Annoyed by their noise, the neighbours called for police, which forced Korrozia to leave the stage.
Next year the band joined Moscow Rock Lab, which allowed to perform rock music legally. The band's first album, Orden Satany (Order of the Satan) was released in 1988. No Soviet state label was ready to release that kind of music, so Pauk created his own one, Corporation of Heavy Rock (КТР in russian abbreviature). Before the album was recorded, Schizophrenic was fired and since then Boar performed vocals as well as guitar. Morgue was replaced by Yasher (Lizard). Orden Satany presented a raw thrash metal with heavy hardcore punk influence (the so-called crossover thrash).
During Perestroika, censorship was lifted, and Korrozia soon became notorious for lyrics and imagiery that, although consistent with western death metal traditions, were quite provocative by Soviet Russia's measures. For their live shows, they employed strip girls to dance on stage and decorated it with pyrotechnics and "satanic" imagiery. Similarly, the band's lyrics consisted of black humour, describing violence, bloodshed and sodomy. Korrozia Metalla albums were named Cannibal (1990) or Sadism (1992), and their 'trademark' songs include such tittles as Vampire Tank, AIDS, Eat Alive, Dead Rasputin.
Since 1993 Pauk eventually fired all the original lineup and gradually shifted to right-wing ultranationalist lyrics, similar to that of Oi! and White Power bands. During the promotional tour for Computer Hitler album, Korrozia even employed a Hitler impersonator for their live shows. Pauk again indicated his interest in politics when nominated himself for mayor of Moscow. Currently he runs grindcore side project Anal Nosorog.
Korrozia's songs were covered by the number of artists. The band's best known song, Russian vodka, was covered by Koldbrann and Aggressor.
The band's lyrics contain a lot of abuse and references to violence, satanism, sex, alcohol, and, in the recent years, neo-Nazism. In recent years their music style changed to thrash metal with grindcore, punk and industrial influences.
Later, in second half of 00's the Spider changed the band's style to previous. For example, Война миров (The War of Worlds) and 666 like albums show less nationalist and more thrash and humorous, like in 80-90's.

КОРРОЗИЯ МЕТАЛЛА Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Зло не дремлет, зло не спит
И тревожно, словно призрак
Черный ворон в ад летит
Ждет трехликий монстр ада
В преисподней у ворот
Человечье ворон стадо
Дикий свет костров и могильный вой
Из нее Фантом оглушает ночь
Черный свет гробниц, как в тревоге злой
Искажает мир, пусть летит он прочь!
Фантом!
На краю Голгофы скорбной
Он птенцов своих вскормил
Вдаль взывает взгляд покорный
Тот, кого Пилат убил
Дикий свет костров и могильный вой
Из нее Фантом оглушает ночь
Черный свет гробниц, как в тревоге злой
Искажает мир, пусть летит он прочь!
Фантом!
Черный ворон - вестник смерти
Жертву ждет в полночный час
Черный ворон - вестник смерти
У могилы встретит вас!
Дикий свет костров и могильный вой
Из нее Фантом оглушает ночь
Черный свет гробниц, как в тревоге злой
Искажает мир, пусть летит он прочь!
Фантом!
The lyrics of Коррозия Металла's "Фантом" are dark and eerie, speaking of the ever-present nature of evil and its ability to disrupt and corrupt even the quietest moments. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer describing a wild cry piercing the darkness and the knowledge that evil never truly sleeps. The image of a black crow heading towards hell adds to the sense of unease.
The second verse speaks of a three-faced monster waiting outside the gates of hell, calling to a group of human crows with its wild cries. The chorus speaks of the phantom, whose presence disturbs the night with the light of funeral pyres and the mournful wails of the dead.
The third verse speaks of a mournful figure on the edge of Golgotha, who has fostered his young and now cries out for the loss of the one Pilate killed. The final verse again highlights the black crow, now seen as a harbinger of death waiting at the grave.

Дикий крик прорезал сумрак
A wild cry pierced the darkness
Зло не дремлет, зло не спит
Evil never sleeps, it never rests
И тревожно, словно призрак
And anxiously, like a ghost
Черный ворон в ад летит
A black raven flies into the abyss
Ждет трехликий монстр ада
The three-headed monster of hell awaits
В преисподней у ворот
At the gates of the underworld
Человечье ворон стадо
A flock of human crows
Диким криком подзовет
Will call with a wild cry
Дикий свет костров и могильный вой
Wild light of bonfires and mournful wailing
Из нее Фантом оглушает ночь
From it, Phantom deafens the night
Черный свет гробниц, как в тревоге злой
The black light of tombs, as if in uneasy alarm
Искажает мир, пусть летит он прочь!
Distorts the world, let it fly away!
Фантом!
Phantom!
На краю Голгофы скорбной
At the edge of the sorrowful Golgotha
Он птенцов своих вскормил
He raised his own chicks
Вдаль взывает взгляд покорный
A submissive gaze calls out into the distance
Тот, кого Пилат убил
The one who was killed by Pilate
Черный ворон - вестник смерти
A black raven - a messenger of death
Жертву ждет в полночный час
A victim awaits at midnight
У могилы встретит вас!
You will be met at the tomb!
