Vocalist Alexander Arzamaskov from the band Fortress was found, bringing with him second guitarist Sergei Popov. Molchanov came up with the band name.After several concerts and a demo, Arzamaskov's vocals were shot, and a new singer was needed. Grigoriy Korneev was the vocalist for a few weeks, before permanent singer Mikhail Seryshev was found.The self-titled album was released in 1988, and concerts were held in the USSR and also in Poland. The second album, С Петлей на Шее was released in 1989.

It was the first of two English-language albums for the band. There are many, many lineup changes, including four drummers that appear on this album.The Maniac Party album appears in 1994, with the lineup of Mikhail Seryshev (vocals), Vyacheslav Sidorov (guitars), Alex Granovsky (bass), and Anatoly Senderov (drums). Sidorov leaves, and Sergei Popov returns and a live album is recorded, and then a new Russian-language album, Песни Мёртвых.At this point Seryshev leaves, and a new vocalist, Artur Berkut (from Autograph, later to appear in Aria) is found. He lasts for a bit before Seryshev returns, before leaving again through the recording sessions for Лабиринт.
