Mikhail Alexandrovich Fedorov is a Russian rock musician, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and founder of the band, Torn Wounds.
Childhood
A talented and promising musician was born on June 5, 1994 in the Tambov region, in the small working village of Umet. He graduated from school number 3. At the age of 12, Mikhail began his conscious creative path - he began to learn to play the guitar, write the first poems and lyrics to songs. This time was marked by the appearance of the playful and desperate song Ded Maxim, which later became a popular hit. During his studies, Mikhail played in a school ensemble. At the age of 14, he already gave his first concerts at school evenings and discos. Working as a loader in a school store, he was able to earn money for his first electric guitar. For some time, Mikhail took guitar lessons from Denis Khromykh, the guitarist of the Moscow rock band Plan Lomonosov. In the ninth grade, Mikhail went to Moscow for the summer and spent time there until the beginning of the school year. There were several such trips, in one of which the musician met the members of the Reds Bulls group, well-known at that time, near Moscow. In 2011 (after graduation) Fedorov joined this group as a vocalist and rhythm guitarist.
Solo creativity
In 2012, the musician left the group and began his solo project under the bright and sonorous pseudonym FM. According to the performer himself, the pseudonym was taken from a nickname that had stuck in childhood. The first solo album "The Meaning of Life" appeared on August 29, 2012. And in 2014, the albums "Happiness" and the studio "Dembelsky Album" were released, the songs from which are known to thousands of guys doing military service. Army songs of the album are heard in many parts of the country even today.
Service
From 2012 to 2013, Mikhail served in the army.
Book
A creative person is also creative in the army. There, the musician begins to work on the book "Our Army or a Year Through" and publishes it at the end of 2014. The book gained scandalous notoriety and later was included in the list of prohibited in the Russian Federation. The book contained a story about an unknown soldier, it covered all the ins and outs of the Russian Army and other information that had not been published anywhere before. Information about the book reached the top leadership of the military and the book was quickly withdrawn from the market. Now the book can be found on unofficial network resources and only in a new edition, where more than half of the chapters are missing. Also, by a court order, Mikhail was forbidden to do anything under his previous pseudonym.
Lacerated Wounds Group
Thanks to a philosophical outlook on life and dedication, the musician, having regained his strength, created in 2015 a new punk band with a new name "Torn Wounds" and has been working on the creation of the first album for a long time. The work dragged on for two years, since the frontman of the group independently recorded the parts of all the instruments at different studios in Moscow. On January 7, 2017, the album "Scream of Suicide" is released. One of the songs, which later became a hit, was attended by the vocalists of the groups "Amatory" and "7 Race" - Vyacheslav Sokolov and Alexander Rastich. Their vocals can be heard in the song "Angel 6.06". The money from the sale of the album was transferred to the Nastenka charity foundation. Soon, on September 11, 2017, a new album will be released - "Where the soul ends."
Debut clip
In April 2017, the group had a debut video for the song "In VK". The main role in the video is played by the famous Petersburg model Anna Sakharova.
New project
Now the group is working on a project of a new format. From an interview with the performer:
“A new album, the third in a row, the title of the album“Attack of the Age of Madness”will soon be released within the band REDOUND WOUNDS. There will be less than ten songs on the album that have never been released before. The album will not be quite standard, it will be more audio stories, a short story in verse form is written for each song. There will be no invited musicians on the album, unlike the previous albums, on which there were fits, but the poetry on the album will be read by one very interesting person, whose voice is familiar to millions of people."
The album will resemble an audiobook. It is already known who will voice the poems - this is Lina Ivanova, a famous Russian theater, film and voice actress who has dubbed such films as "Harry Potter", "Divergent", "X-Men", "Deadpool" and other famous films.
