shemale ZERO - Deliverance from Hypocrisy



BIO (ENGLISH)



The story of the one-man project shemale ZERO began 2002, as Ottis, innervated by his two new passions - gothic / industrial and cross-dressing, came to the inspiration to record some new songs. That, what approximately started as teeny game, entertainment and boredom killer, manifested on the end as a not bad plausible product. After his long fluctuations between grind, death metal and punk, participation on different bands and projects, Ottis slowly started to find out his own destination. He summoned other musicians from various music styles and experimented around. Today he describes his eccentric style as TI - Transgenred Industrial, which incorporates dark electro and industrial elements. The vocals range from typical industrial with slide influence of deathrock to true death and black metal.

Since 2005 shemale ZERO has been frequently seen on stage, and at the beginning of the year they established themselves on the invitation of the show Mega Hour on BBC. For the concert behind the bass takes place Shentov, known by the postpunk band KPD-O. In October same year they gratified the publics on the National Tattoo Fest in “Hristo Botev” hall, Sofia.

Soon afterwards Ottis emerged on the stage in the attendance of drummer Dan-X aka Daniel Goranov (metal and hardcore drummer), a of one of his ancient bands, and Vicky aka Viktoria Andreeva, who takes over the guitar. With her steadfastness and constancy she gives a new facet to the project.

June 2006 the trio constellation wins the award of Stain studio and club Stroeja with its great appearance on the Rock School in Sliven and they record their first single "Funeral Whore" officially popular as “Werewolf”. Soon after the record the song acquired the possession of two remixes by their industrial fellows Animassacre and the californian adjudged 8bit-punk band Electric Dragon. Hereafter Stroeja produces also the video to the debut single. Director of the video is Boian Karamfilov (from the band Kuln), and the cameramen is Georgi Raev (from the official Bulgarian music televidion MM TV). For the outfits takes care the fashion designer duo Kristina and Konstantin, famous with their work on unique suits for many of the greatest stars on the commercial music scene in Bulgaria. At the beginning of 2007 Ottis together with Simona (punk-hardcore vocalist in one of his previous bands) records the song “Fetish Nation” supervised by the hawk eye of Sparks Rojas from Electric Dragon. “Fetish Nation” is also the last industrial track, which the project works on.

February 2007 they warm up the audience together with Animassacre for the concert of their grecian cohorts Siva Six and attracted the attention not only with their musical creativity but also with an unique and immaculate performance, charisma and pinpoint chosen styling. In June was the their last consert, when they played together with Alien Industry.

In September Ottis records and assembles the second official music video "Deliverance From Hypocrisy". The track is hard and fast, completely electronic industrial on military themes. The video never broadcasts on any TV or show because of the apparently contained Nazi symbols and elements. Shortly afterwards he discontinues the song writing for the band.



BIO (DEUTSCH)



Die Geschichte von dem EinMann-Projekt shemale ZERO begann 2002, als Ottis, angeregt von seinen zwei neuen Leidenschaften – Gothic / Industrial und Crossdressing, zu der Inspiration kam, einige Songs aufzunehmen. Was zunächst als Teeny-Spiel, Unterhaltung und Langeweilekiller anfing, erwies sich am Ende als ein nicht schlechtes, plausibles Produkt. Nach seinen langen Schwankungen zwischen Grind, Death und Punk, Teilnahme an vershiedenen Bands und Projekten, begann Ottis langsam seine Richtung zu finden. Er holte andere Musiker aus verschiedenen Musikstile und experimentierte gerne. Heute beschreibt er seinen exzenrischen Stil als TI - Transgenred Industrial, der DarkElectro- und Industrial-Elemente verkörpert. Die Vokals variieren vom typischen Industrial mit schwebenden Einflüssen von Deathrock bis zum wahren Death und Black Metal.

Seit 2005 sieht man shemale ZERO schon öfter auf der Bühne, wobei sie sich anfang dieses Jahres nach der Einladung der Sendung Mega Hour von BBC live beweisen. Im Oktober im selben Jahr erfreuen sie wieder das Publikum auf dem Nationalen Tattoo Fest im Saal „Hristo Botev“, Sofia. Ottis tritt auf der Bühne in der Begleitung vom Schalgzeuger Dan-X, einem Kollegen aus einer seiner ehemaligen Bands, und Vicky, die die Gitarre übernimmt. Mit ihrer weiblichen Standhaftigkeit und Engagement verleiht sie eine neue Facette dem Projekt.

Im Juni 2006 gewinnt die Dreikonstellation den Preis von Stain Studio und Club Stroeja mit ihrem grossartigen Auftritt auf dem „Rock School“ in Sliven und nehmen ihren ersten Single Funeral Whore auf. Kurz danach produziert Stroeja auch das Video zu dem Debüt-Single.

Im Februar 2007 wärmten sie zusammen mit Animassacre das Publikum für das Konzert von Siva Six auf und ziehen wieder die Blicke auf sich nicht nur mit ihrer musikalischen Kreativität, sondern auch mit einer einmaligen, makellosen Performance, Ausstrahlungskraft und präzise ausgewähltem Styling.
