Ilya Polagushin is genuinely the man behind the dirty business. He has different sexual fetishes, which became a distinguishable transition between all the albums and EPs, a common fetish is his captivation for legs. He does all of the instruments including guitars, vocals, bass and keyboards. Other than that, he hired two drummers and some session bass/guitarists to back up some of his stuff.
The other members are two female vocalists and a few others, whom engage in Ilya's sexual fantasies by adding an erotic effect to the music along with various sexual noises. Natalia does some of those noises on the early EPs and during the second album "Carnivorous Romance" Katerina Polevina takes over.
Black Countess is currently signed on Metalism Records. They are still currently active but, Ilya is looking for more members to help fill in for some of the albums. An album has been awaiting since 2007. It appears, there has been some gaps between Black Countess' releases due to the session members, whom are constantly joining off and on.

Showing the Cards
Black Countess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was given a cordial welcome and they told me what to do
Cyberia and Persephone were not slow to show their cards
I discovered soon that I went through the gates to another world
Too forbidden to be Paradise
Too nice to be called Hell
The women just brought me there
It was the wish of black-stockinged brunette
And they were to escort me to the place
We had to go through a difficult path
To the mysterious Shining Palace
With its inimitable and gorgeous Mistress Selene
But first we had to go through the Death Valley
Behind the hills we were to face its cold grin
I did not expect to find this bizarre world
I did there nothing but fucked
And licked the feet of these two ladies
Without thinking why they tasted so nice
But there were also strange emerald pills
Dissolved in vintage vine
And the baths filled with this beverage
In which the sluts washed their feet
Washing their feet
The sluts filling them with magic
Washing their feet
The sluts sending the likes of me to this world
The lyrics to Black Countess's song "Showing the Cards" express the experience of an individual who has entered a new, mysterious world without knowing the implications. The singer's welcome was cordial, but they soon found themselves surrounded by enigmatic women who showed their cards without hesitation. These women escorted the singer through a difficult path to the Shining Palace, where Mistress Selene awaited them. However, before reaching their destination, they had to pass through the Death Valley, where they faced the valley's cold grin.
The singer seems to be disoriented and in a state of shock as they express how this new world is "too forbidden to be paradise, too nice to be called hell." They engage in sexual acts with the women without questioning their intentions or motivations. The women also give them emerald pills dissolved in vintage vine and take foot baths in which they wash their feet, filling them with magic. The singer seems to be entranced by this new environment, and everything they experience is exotic and unfamiliar.
Overall, "Showing the Cards" is a song that explores the dark and mysterious world of magic and sexuality. It is a world that is both alluring and dangerous, with strange rituals and customs that are foreign to the singer. The song captures the sense of disorientation, bewilderment, and pleasure that the singer feels as they navigate through this new world.
