2. Himera is Heavy metal band from Moscow. The band was formed in 2002 with support from Vladimir Holstinin of Ария and producer Alexander Yelin. As Himera was formed during the split of Aria, the rumours were circulating around that Holstinin and Dubinin will abandon Aria for Himera, though it didn't happen.
Founding members were Andrey Hramov (vocals), Maxim Dyachenko (guitar), Vladislav Vasiliev (drums) and Robert Boim (bass). In the very first years band went through dramatical lineup changes, including departure of vocalist and bassist (both moved to Sergey Terentyev's Артерия) and even producer.
The debut album "Agonia" was completed and released only in 2005, revealing industrial influence on music.

Химера Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
На меня, когда я спал
Я не ел, не пил сто дней – не было сил
А клоп Семен меня укусил
Я его за это убил
The song "Клоп" by Химера tells a story of a cockroach named Семен (Semen) who crawls on the wall and falls on the singer as he sleeps. The singer had not eaten or drank anything for a hundred days, and he lacked the energy to do anything. However, he was bitten by the cockroach Семен, and as a result, he kills him.
This song can be interpreted in different ways. Some may see it as a commentary on the struggle to survive and how even small things can contribute to our downfall. Others may see it as a metaphor for the small things in life that can cause a significant impact on our overall situation. Moreover, it can also be seen as an allegory for the cycle of life and death, as well as the fight for survival.

Клоп Семен полз по стене и упал
A cockroach named Semen crawled on the wall and fell
На меня, когда я спал
On me, while I was asleep
Я не ел, не пил сто дней – не было сил
I hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a hundred days - I had no strength
А клоп Семен меня укусил
And the cockroach Semen bit me
Я его за это убил
I killed him for that
