Who we are
Greetings, Friend! We are female fronted (and axed!) thrash/death metal band POKERFACE from Russia. Our music is quite unusual combination of old-school thrash riffs and female scream-growling vocals. Since the moment of formation in 2013 we released two albums - EP 'Terror Is The Law' and LP 'Divide And Rule', and performed many notable shows with such bands like Sodom, Kreator, Megadeth, Sepultura, Overkill, Children of Bodom, Vader, Death DTA, not only in Russia, but in Europe as well.
What We Need & What You Get
We want to record and release a full-length 10-track album "Game On" in first months of the next year. The new album is going to be a natural evolution of our previous works, but different and much more versatile at the same time. There would be still fast and agressive thrash riffs, but songs will be a bit more complex - we added melodies, groove parts, so particularry it would remind some mix of thrash, melodic death and groove metal. There will be some experimental songs also, songs you would never expect from POKERFACE.
New album "Game On" will have strong ideological concept - we plan to work on album's artwork with the man, who did great arts for the famous (we won't be afraid to say legendary) band, but we keep his name in secret). So, as you can see, we have a really serious intentions to make this album a really strong work, which will allow us to make a huge step further on a big worldwide metal stage!
And we did some demos of new songs, so you could check them out!

Our Expenses
You might ask us, what 6500e is about? What is included in this amount? We made the approximate list of necessary expences, so that's how we are going to spend this sum:
- instruments and vocals recording at studio - 1000e
- album mixing and mastering - 750e
- artworks - 750e
- merch printing - 500e
- music video shooting and producing - 1000e
- touring expenses - 2000e
- IndieGoGo fees (5% + approx 4% for transferring money = approx 9%) - 540e
-
Total - 6540e
What Happens if We Raise Less?
If we raise less than 6500EUR, the album will be made anyway and we will fulfill all our obligations to those who back us up. But of course it will take longer since we will have to do non-musical jobs to earn some of the money ourselves and borrow the rest of it.
What Happens if We Raise More?
If we manage to raise more than 6500EUR, we will make more different merchendise and will make our tour much longer!
