The band comes from Kazan,Russia and its title is the name of traditional fairy tale character - dragon, breathing with fire.
Music composing started in summer of 2004 and back then the band was untitled and consisted of two people. Then due to circumstances in winter/spring of 2005 one of the two members left the band.
In spring of 2005 Zmei Gorinich was started as a one-man band to bring a faery tale phantasies into the world with the help of musical forms. As a result music that appeared with the time passing was characterised by different people as phantasy and sometimes epic music, although some tend to characterise it as darkwave with folk elements.
Lately new elements started to appear in the music: samples taken from different movies and generally various sounds that help to create atmosphere and make music a bit more powerful.
