The band was formed in 2004. Although they managed to make some public appearances, shot a couple of music videos, and released a demo version of their debut album 'Ego', the band couldn't really fit in the Far East music scene. In 2006 they moved to Saint-Petersburg where they could get more recognition.
The original line-up consisted of Michael Draw (vocals, lyrics) and Marie Slip (composition, arrangement). During 2018-2019 Marie Slip gradually reduced his involmement with the band and finally left due to losing interest in making music. Then Otto Dix's live guitarist Michael Interio (from Nattramnar Skal'd) stepped forward as the new composer for the band. His style tends to be more guitar-oriented. Michael Draw still remained the centerpiece and lyricist of the band .
In summer 2022 Michael Interio left Otto Dix due to personal differences, and the "Lucifer's Effect" album that was nearly completed could not be released because of copyright issues. Nevertheless, a totally new album "Vantablack" was released in April 2023. The music for the album was almost solely composed by Michael Draw.
Other past members include Peter Voronov (electro-violin) who worked with the band from 2008 to 2013. A Russian drummer by pseudonim Paul Kristofferson was, too, an official band member for some time. The band also collaborated with a number of Russian and European musicians (Elisabat Muse, Stoneman, etc.)

Красота
Otto Dix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
По венам стекают струйки песка.
Шлейфом за мной вороний грай.
И мне остаётся лишь уверовать в рай.
В ладонях моих гнездится тоска.
По венам стекают струйки песка.
Шлейфом за мной вороний грай.
Ведь я так некрасив, я так некрасив.
Нам всем красота - отрада для глаз.
Но вечно она не сияет для нас.
К любой красоте приходит закат.
И мне остаётся лишь уверовать в ад.
Себя не могу из осколков собрать.
И Бог запретил красивым мне стать.
Мне Бог запретил красивых любить.
И мне остаётся лишь заживо гнить.
Ведь я так некрасив, я так некрасив.
Ведь я так некрасив, я так некрасив.
Я так некрасив, я так некрасив, я так
некрасив, я так...
The song "Красота" by Otto Dix is a hauntingly beautiful expression of the artist's struggle with feeling unattractive and rejected by society. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of his pain and despair as he laments his lack of physical beauty and the inability to love or be loved. In the opening lines, he describes the feeling of melancholy nesting in his palms, with the drops of sand representing his life's fleeting nature. The imagery of the crow's flock following him further compounds the theme of despair, with the black birds representing death and decay.
As the song progresses, Otto Dix highlights the societal obsession with beauty and how it affects one's self-esteem. He remarks that beauty is a joyful sight, but it's not something that lasts forever; eventually, it will all come to an end, and the beauty will fade away. Despite his dismal state, the artist cannot pull himself together and continues to believe in paradise, even though he's unable to experience it.
Towards the end of "Красота," Otto Dix delves deeper into his self-hatred, stating that God has forbidden him from even loving the beautiful people, further adding to his despair. The song ends on a tragic note as he realizes he can never become the person he wished to be, and he is now tormented by the thought of living a life full of destruction and rejection.
Overall, "Красота" is a hauntingly beautiful song that encapsulates the dark and brooding nature of Otto Dix's music.
