Founded by multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Antony Kalugin in 1997, Karfagen is named after the ancient city of Carthage, evoking a sense of both history and mystery. The band's music is known for its intricate compositions, blending a rich tapestry of melodies and textures that take listeners on a journey through fantastical soundscapes.

Over the years, Karfagen has released a steady stream of concept albums, each weaving a unique narrative through the power of instrumental storytelling. Among their recent releases are "Bright Little Star," a composition that twinkles with optimism and intricate musicianship, and "The Game of Imagination (Uvertura)," which showcases the band's ability to create expansive sonic worlds. The live album "A Message of Peace Tour Live" captures the dynamic energy of their performances, where listeners can experience the band's synergy and dexterity. With the releases of themed suites like "Dragon Island" and "Passage to the Forest of Mysterious," Karfagen continues to earn acclaim for their ambitious and evocative approaches to progressive music. Their work, including albums like "Land of Green and Gold" and "Principles and Theory of Spektra," is a testimony to their skill at fusing the mythic with the melodic, creating a signature style that resonates with fans of the genre across the globe.
