Epizod

Epizod are famous in Bulgaria for their concerts which include theatre, an Orthodox church choir, and an ensemble for Bulgarian folk songs and dances.

Later M. Galabov returned to Bulgaria and together with S. Hristov (who remained in homeland at that time) found new musicians to fill the band: Vasil Kalpachki (vocals), Emil Tasev (drums) and Dragomir Draganov (guitar), who recorded the album together.

In 1996 S. Hristov and Dr. Draganov started work on songs from the album The Time Has Come with lyrics by the French classical poets François Villon and Pierre de Ronsard.

Respekt featured two songs based on translations of the works of Moliere and Joachim du Bellay, but otherwise contained original material, written by Hristov and Draganov.

After the release of the first singles of the album The National Television included the song "Haiduks" based on a poem by Hristo Botev in the 2001 New Year's Eve Show.

Essential for the success of the album were the voices of the guest folklore singers- father Andon, Daniela Velichkova, Kristina Yaneva as well as St.John Kukuzelis Choir.

The promotional concert in Veliko Turnovo was held exactly where the events described in the album took place – at Tsarevets Castle, the reconstructed palace of the medieval Bulgarian tsars.

In April 2009 Epizod parted from the guitarist Dragomir Draganov and the bassist Simeon Hristov found a replacement in the person of Vasil Belezhkov (student in the National Music Academy 'Prof.

At first Vasil joins only as a guest musician just to cover the concerts till the end of Juny 2009 but in the meantime he accepts the offer of the band to become a member and to take part in the next album of Epizod.

In that time (July 2010 – January 2011) the band had concerts with various guest drummers – Stoyan Petrov, Hristo Gyosharkov, Ivan Tsonkov and Georgi Varamezov.

There is also a guest composer – the music and lyrics of the first and the last songs are by Alexander Alexiev-Hoffart who is an artist and the cover of the album is a fragment from a historical picture painted by him.

In the spring of 2018 three of the band members together with three guest performers presented in front of public the drama called Rock Theater 'Asparuh – the Battle of Ongal'[1] written by Simeon Hristov.
