Король и Шут

"Korol i Shut" (abbreviated as KiSh) is a Russian horror-punk band from Saint Petersburg. The band was formed in Leningrad in 1988. It stands out for its style, which is unusual for classic punk rock. The band’s songs are short, complete stories, often in a fantasy, mystical, or historical key. The band’s stage image constantly changed and often included makeup corresponding to the themes of the songs. In the press, the group was repeatedly referred to as "iconic." Initially, the rhythmic horror-punk that dominated their musical component eventually went beyond the boundaries of the style and absorbed many musical elements: folk-rock ("Akustichesky Albom"), art-punk ("Teatr Demona"), hardcore-punk ("Bunt na Korable"), hard rock ("Kak v Staroy Skazke"), and many others.
