Biography

Slot was founded by vocalist and chief songwriter Igor Lobanov, known as Cache, and Denis Khromykh, known as "Dan," in 2002 in Moscow, Russia. In 2003, they debuted with their album "SLOT 1," which was released under the Mistery Of Sound recording label.

In the summer of 2006, Slot established their presence on Myspace. In autumn 2006, the band released their second studio album titled "2 Wars" (2 войны). On September 19, 2009, Slot released their fourth studio album.

In 2011, Slot released "Break the Code," their debut English album, on August 23rd. Additionally, a special edition of the album was released in Japan.

In early 2014, Slot released the crowd-funded album "Шестой" ("Sixth"). On April 18, 2014, during an autograph session with fans at a café in St. Petersburg, Nookie was stabbed multiple times in her neck. She was promptly taken to the hospital, where doctors described her condition as "moderately serious," but her life was not at risk.[2] [3] [4] [5]

On April 4, 2024, Daria "Nookie" Stavrovich announced her departure from the band after 18 years.[6] [7]

On July 25th, 2024, it was revealed that the new female vocalist to replace Daria Stavrovich is the metal singer Darya Ravdina.
