Karfagen (Symphonic / (neo) prog rock , Ukraine)

Karfagen (meaning Carthago) founded in Ukraine (1979) is the brainchild of multi-talented musician and composer, Antony Kalugin. The name was first used in 1997, when Antony formed a band at school. While he was studying at the architectural university a year later, he began to record the first Karfagen compositions in one of the local studios, and a few tracks from this period can be found on the Key to Perception compilation from 2009.
