AMBASSADOR21, the Belarusian duo who have brought their industrial hardcore sound to electronic and industrial festivals worldwide look back at a plethora of releases since the turn of the century.
All their lives Natasha A Twentyone and Alexey Protasov have been associated with music, been involved with local punk bands from their teenage years. Later they became well-known radio DJs on the biggest commercial station in Belarus, still they continued to promote all kinds of alternative music. Then one day they just decided to stop all other work, not be part of the system and be only musicians.
Independence is not the easiest way, but the choice was made. AMBASSADOR21 was born.
Founded in December 2001 in Minsk, AMBASSADOR21 play industrial hardcore with powerful lyrics in both English and Russian. Hard electronics, samples, heavy guitars and Natasha’s sandpaper vocals are the ingredients of this sonic Molotov cocktail!
AMBASSADOR21 are surely active activists, and their efforts have put them in the upper tiers of the industrial scene. As cultural renegades, they are quite a memorable display on stage, energetic and charged. New AMBASSADOR21 album "Human Rage" will be released October 25th 2016 on their own record label Invasion.
