Mechanical Poet was a Russian progressive metal band led by Lex Plotnikoff (1977-2022). His quirky, whimsy music was influenced by film composers like Danny Elfman, with lyrics based on fantasy, gothic and science fiction stories. Early albums leaned towards symphonic metal, while late releases were more of Post-prog. The band sang in English and only released three Russian versions of its songs. Mechanical Poet was founded in Moscow in 2002 as a studio-only project by ex-members of Russian avant-garde band Glazemaker Lex Plotnikoff,
