Formed in 1994 in St. Petersburg, the band quickly gained national attention with their debut album Pylnaya Byl’, but it was the release of the 1998 album, Granatoviy, that truly catapulted them to fame. Their frontman and lyricist Alexander Vasiliev became known for his introspective and often existential songwriting style that resonated with a generation navigating a new social and cultural landscape.
Throughout their career, Splin have remained both commercially successful and critically respected. The band has released over a dozen studio albums, many of which have gone on to become cult classics, including 25th Frame, Reverse Chronology, and Key to the Code. Their ability to reinvent themselves musically without losing their core identity has earned them a devoted fan base across the Russian-speaking world. Songs like “No Exit,” “Orbit Without Sugar,” and “My Heart” have become anthems, and their concert tours have consistently sold out major venues, reflecting the band’s enduring popularity and relevance.
Splin’s influence extends beyond music and into broader cultural and artistic spheres. They are often cited as the voice of disaffected youth, intellectual listeners, and those with a penchant for introspection and melancholy. Their lyrics, often rich in metaphors and literary allusions, have been studied in academic circles and quoted in film, literature, and everyday conversation. By consistently prioritizing artistic integrity over mainstream trends, Splin have carved out a unique place in Russian rock history as innovators and guardians of poetic expression in contemporary music.
