The group's style
[edit]Otto Dix is a darkwave group with EBM and Industrial tunes.
History
[edit]The musical band Otto Dix was formed in the summer of 2004 in Khabarovsk. At first, there was a third member who played the guitar.
On 3 July, Otto Dix played their first concert away from their home city in Amursk. A few months later they recorded their first album, Ego. However, due to the deplorable conditions of the Far Eastern musical culture the band did not fit any company, so they decided to form their own one. In winter 2005-2006 the gothic club "Morion" and a gothic forum were created by Draw. In spring 2006, the Otto Dix together with the members of Morion, shot a second video for the song "White Dust." In 2007, the band became a trio. Peter Voronov (violin) first performed with Otto Dix on 15 December.
In 2009, Otto Dix recorded the album Shadow Zone and released the video "Dream of Spring," which was composed by Draw. On 20 April 2012, the first single of the band, "Utopia," was released. On 7 September 2012, the sixth studio album, Mortem, followed.
On 11 April 2013, the violinist Peter Voronov left Otto Dix. On 12 November 2013, the video for the song "Anima" from the upcoming album was released. In 2017 they released their ninth studio album, 'Leviathan'.
In 2020 they released the new album Autokrator, which has been recently removed from Youtube and Spotify as a result of the immediate termination of contract by the label Danse Macabre Records caused by several pro Russia posts of the band after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[citation needed]
