The group was formed in 1983 by Armen Grigoryan (Армен Григорян) and Viktor Troyegubov (Виктор Троегубов) and quickly grew in popularity {[fact}} in the rock circles of Moscow. After the release of Illusionary World (Иллюзорный мир) in 1985, the group gained a reputation throughout the former Soviet Union and began to perform at concerts all over the country. However, Troyegubov left as a result of discord between the two leaders and formed a new project called Smoke (Дым). Krematorij continued to increase in popularity [citation needed] until several group members left again after the release of Coma (Кома) in 1988. Grigoryan succeeded in drawing new musicians to the band. The line-up has otherwise been unchanged to this day.
Troyegubov temporarily returned to the group in 1993 as both a musician and the director of the group. In 1994, the group worked on the film Tatsu (Тацу); however, the film was not a success and was never brought to rental, though clips from the film are frequently used in Krematorij’s music videos. After another quarrel, Troyegubov left the group for a second and final time. He later wrote a book entitled Life in Krematorij and Outside It (Жизнь в „Крематории“ и вне его) in which he makes many accusations against Grigoryan. He returned to Smoke which quickly dissipated.
Meanwhile, Krematorij continued its creative life, releasing several more albums and performing on tours all over the world [citation needed]. Krematorij contributed greatly to the development of the Russian rock music genre. Grigoryan composes multifaceted lyrics that frequently deal with the themes of life and death in various religious contexts. The use of the violin serves to give Krematorij an individuality that has been essential to the group’s continued popularity
Катманду
Крематорий Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Босиком на битом стекле
Умели плавать в соляной кислоте
И ходить по тонкому льду
В своем родном Катманду
Чистили спиртом пищевод
Ходили спьяну на войну
Возвращались поутру
В свое родное Катманду
И солнце в синих небесах
Без одежды и стыда
Исполняло на ура
Танец живота
Мы не гуляли по вселенной
С песней вдоль и поперек
Но можем смело сказать наперед
Нет места лучше и в раю
Чем родное Катманду
А кто с нами не согласен
Пусть зарубит на носу
Для нас любовь и Библия и пища
Но можем дать и по лицу
За родную Катманду
Где Солнце в синих небесах
Без одежды и стыда
Исполняет на ура
Танец живота
The lyrics of the song "Катманду" by Крематорий talk about the nostalgic memories of the singer's hometown - Kathmandu. The song highlights the wild and carefree ways of life that the singer and his companions led in their hometown, including dancing barefoot on broken glass, swimming in salt water, walking on thin ice, and using alcohol to clean their esophagus. The lyrics mention how they used to go to war drunk, but despite not waiting for a victorious end, they would return to their beloved Kathmandu in the morning.
The song's lyrics also describe how the sun in the blue skies of Kathmandu is shamelessly naked and performs a belly dance to the delight of the people. The song concludes by saying that nothing is better than Kathmandu, and those who disagree are welcome to argue, but the love for their hometown is so strong that they are ready to punch anyone who speaks ill of it. The lyrics paint a vibrant picture of the singer's hometown and the carefree life he and his friends lived before leaving it behind.

Мы любили танцевать
We loved to dance
Босиком на битом стекле
Barefoot on broken glass
Умели плавать в соляной кислоте
We could swim in acid
И ходить по тонкому льду
And walk on thin ice
В своем родном Катманду
In our native Kathmandu
Чистили спиртом пищевод
We cleaned our esophagus with alcohol
Ходили спьяну на войну
We went to war while drunk
Но не дождавшись победного конца
But without waiting for a victorious end
Возвращались поутру
We returned in the morning
В свое родное Катманду
To our native Kathmandu
И солнце в синих небесах
And the sun in the blue sky
Без одежды и стыда
Without clothes and shame
Исполняло на ура
Cheerfully performed
Танец живота
The belly dance
Мы не гуляли по вселенной
We didn't wander the universe
С песней вдоль и поперек
Singing all around
Но можем смело сказать наперед
But we can boldly say in advance
Нет места лучше и в раю
There is no better place even in paradise
Чем родное Катманду
Than our native Kathmandu
А кто с нами не согласен
And those who disagree with us
Пусть зарубит на носу
Let them fight us
Для нас любовь и Библия и пища
For us, there is love, the Bible, and food
Но можем дать и по лицу
But we can also hit in the face
За родную Катманду
For our native Kathmandu
Где Солнце в синих небесах
Where the sun is in blue skies
Без одежды и стыда
Without clothes and shame
Исполняет на ура
Cheerfully performs
Танец живота
The belly dance

We liked to dance barefoot on broken glass
We knew how to swim in hydrochloric acid and how to walk on thin ice
In our native Kathmandu
Cleaning our gullets with alcohol, marching drunken into war
But never waiting for the victorious end, we were coming home by morning
To our native Kathmandu
And in the skies so blue, the naked sun
Carried out on our hurrays, its shameless belly dance
We've never strolled across the Universe with our song far and wide
But we can safely say in advance: there's no place, even in Heaven
Better than our native Kathmandu
And those who disagree with us, may they mark my words:
To us, love is food and it is Bible, but we can also strike a punch
For our native Kathmandu
Where in the skies so blue, the naked sun
Carries out on our hurrays, its shameless belly dance
