СерьГа - Дорога В Ночь

Review by Adam Stück

Album Review: Дорога В Ночь by СерьГа – A Raw Rock Journey Through the '90s Russian Soul If you’re into music that feels like a late-night drive with your thoughts screaming louder than the engine, Дорога В Ночь by СерьГа is your ticket. Released in 1997, this Russian rock gem doesn’t try too hard to be polished or perfect—and honestly? That’s what makes it unforgettable. It’s raw, unfiltered, and dripping with emotion. The album was released under labels Extraphone and Not On Label (Серьга), but its heart beats strongest through the hands of Сергей Галанин, who wrote both the lyrics and music for almost every track. The band itself reads like a crew of old friends jamming in someone’s garage—Николай "Ник-Нак" Балакирев on drums and tambourine, Любаня shredding guitar solos, and bassist Алексей "Лёха" Молодцов holding down the groove. But don’t let the DIY vibe fool ya; there’s serious craftsmanship here, especially from producer Дмитрий "Грозный" Гройсман and mixer Алексей Дементьев. These guys knew how to capture lightning in a bottle. Now, I gotta talk about two tracks that hit me right in the feels. First up is Дорога В Ночь (Памяти Друга). This one opens the album, and man—it sets the tone like no other. You can feel the ache in Сергей Галанин’s voice as he sings about loss and memories. It’s not just another “dedicated to a friend” song; it’s visceral, like he’s dragging you along his journey through grief and longing. The acoustic guitar work by Сергей "Лёва" Левитин adds this haunting layer that sticks with you long after the track ends. Like… damn, dude. Bring tissues. Then there’s Мир Спасёт Красота. Holy crap, this song hits different. On paper, it sounds cheesy—beauty saving the world? Come on. But when you hear it, something clicks. Maybe it’s the way the melody builds, or maybe it’s because we’ve all had moments where beauty—the kind that punches you in the chest—felt like the only thing keeping us sane. Sergey’s lyrics are simple yet profound, and the whole arrangement feels like a warm hug wrapped around a broken heart. By the time the chorus kicks in, you’re either singing along at the top of your lungs or quietly sobbing in the corner. No judgment either way. What gets me most about this album is how real it feels. There’s none of that overproduced nonsense that strips away personality. Every scratch, every offbeat drum hit—it’s like they left it there on purpose, reminding you these songs were made by humans, not machines. And yeah, sure, some parts sound rough around the edges, but isn’t that life? Messy, imperfect, beautiful? Here’s the kicker: listening to Дорога В Ночь feels less like hearing an album and more like flipping through someone’s diary. Each track tells a story, each note carries weight. And while the ‘90s Russia scene might seem distant to some listeners today, the emotions here are universal. Love, loss, hope—they transcend borders and languages. So if you stumble across this record, grab it. Play it loud. Let it mess you up a little. Because sometimes, the best albums aren’t the ones that dazzle you with perfection. They’re the ones that remind you it’s okay to hurt, to dream, to scream into the void. Oh, and hey—if anyone knows where I can find Сергей Галанин now, tell him thanks. His music saved my night once.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s an interesting fact: The Russian rock album *Дорога В Ночь* by СерьГа, released in 1997, is a deeply personal project. Nearly all the lyrics and music were written by Сергей Галанин, who also lent his voice to the tracks. What makes it even more special is that the opening track, *Дорога В Ночь (Памяти Друга)*, was dedicated to a friend who had passed away. It’s not just an album; it feels like a heartfelt journey through life, love, loss, and gratitude. And fun detail—there’s even a quirky song about walking around naked (*Давай Ходить Нагишом*)! Raw, emotional, and unapologetically human.
