Dymna Lotva - Vyraj from 9.58 $

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 01:00:11 +0200

DYMNA LOTVA are taking a quantum leap in their rapid musical evolution with their fourth album "Vyraj". The rebellious Belarus dissidents are powerfully demonstrating that they are far more than a 'one-trick pony' in every conceivable artistic aspect. Although "Vyraj" is still based on a solid foundation of black and post-black metal, DYMNA LOTVA move far beyond any easy labelling by also drawing inspiration from doom, heavy, and progressive metal, while venturing even deeper by incorporating elements from electronic music, goth, and folklore. The album is a cornucopia of great songs that are atmospherically dense and invite the listener onto an emotional roller-coaster ride from the darkest depths of depression and fear, via raw anger and defiance, to heights of ecstatic exhilaration. "Vyraj" is a musical kaleidoscope with ever changing patterns and sonic colours of remarkable beauty – that often dissolves into captivating melodies that at times even achieve a pop-like appeal. DYMNA LOTVA continue to carry the torch of rebellion, which is only natural as the founding members had to flee their native Belarus due to political persecution and continued attempts by the Lukashenka regime to censor and suppress their art. Yet on "Vyraj", they put their lyrical focus elsewhere. The album's main concept could be described as 'Belarusian ethno-astronomy.' In Slavonic legends, the starry sky is associated both with the afterlife and with journeys, which becomes closely intertwined with the musicians' personal experience of forced emigration. This idea is captured in the album title "Vyraj", which is a mythical realm to where birds migrate for the winter, and where the souls of the departed find their final rest. DYMNA LOTVA take another big step with "Vyraj" in their breathtakingly rapid artistic evolution. It is easy to predict that this unique and highly original band will soon appear on even bigger festival billings and European stages.

Dymna Lotva - Палын (Wormwood) from 9.58 $

With their sophomore album, "Wormwood" ("Палын") that was released in 2017, DYMNA LOTVA returned to the topic of Chernobyl. The duo had created their first song, 'A Solitary Human Voice' ('Самотны Чалавечы Голас'), based on quotes from Lyudmila Ignatenko, the widow of a Chernobyl liquidator, whose husband Vasily Ivanovich Ignatenko largely inspired the HBO series "Chernobyl". Musically, Wormwood" ("Палын") is an extension and expansion of their 2016 debut full-length "The Land Under The Black Wings: Swamp" ("Зямля пад чорнымі крыламі: Дрыгва") that was largely based on Nordic black metal with added Slavonic elements. Lyrically, the album is not part of the trilogy that DYMNA LOTVA began with their debut album "The Land under the Black Wings: Swamp" ("Зямля пад чорнымі крыламі: Дрыгва") in 2016. The founding duo started out with an elaborate concept. It was based on the main events in the course of their country’s history and its legends, while also containing many references to classic Belarusian literature. The musical fire of composer Jauhien Charkasau and vocalist Katsiaryna "Nokt Aeon" Mankevich was lit by the news that Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich had won the Nobel Prize in Literature. On the same day, the duo created their first song based on quotes from Lyudmila Ignatenko. Following the release of the second full-length, both founding members had to flee their native Belarus due to political persecution and attempts by the Lukashenka regime to censure and suppress their art. On their third album, "The Land under the Black Wings: Blood" ("Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Кроў"), DYMNA LOTVA. beautifully and powerfully expanded their style, which is based on Nordic black metal, but also takes elements from doom as well as traditional music. The duo has moved beyond the post-black metal tag and created melancholic, haunting melodies that bear their unmistakable trademark and results in a unique emotional sound. The name of the band, DYMNA LOTVA, means 'Swamp in Smoke' and relates to the atrocities surrounding the burned villages of Polesie – a marshy region along the River Pripyat that is now divided between the modern-day states of Belarus, Ukraine, and Poland, which has endured bloody massacres and brutal conflict in the past.

DYMNA LOTVA have many reasons to carry the torch of rebellion. The duo had to flee their native Belarus due to political persecution and attempts by the Lukashenka dictatorship to censure and suppress their art. On their third album, "The Land under the Black Wings: Blood" (original, not transcribed tile: "Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Кроў"), DYMNA LOTVA continue to sing songs filled with grief and pain. The Belarusians have beautifully and powerfully enhanced their very personal style. With a solid base in black metal, but also taking many elements from doom as well as traditional music, the duo has moved beyond the post-black metal tag and created melancholic, haunting melodies that bear their unmistakable trademark and results in a unique emotional sound. DYMNA LOTVA base their lyrics on true tales from Belarus, which is filled with accounts of sorrow gleaned from historical archives or folklore, while new horrors are committed in their country every day. Composer Jauhien Charkasau and vocalist Katsiaryna "Nokt Aeon" Mankevich date the inception of DYMNA LOTVA to November 8, 2015.
The spark that ignited their musical fire was the news of Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. On the same day, the duo created their first song, which was inspired by the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe and released as a single entitled 'Самотны Чалавечы Голас' ("A Solitary Human Voice") in 2016. This was followed by DYMNA LOTVA's first full-length "The Land under the Black Wings: Swamp" (Зямля пад чорнымі крыламі: Дрыгва) in the same year. The debut album also formed the first part of a conceptual trilogy based on the duo's homeland. With their sophomore album, "Wormwood" (Палын), which is not part of the planned trilogy, DYMNA LOTVA returned to the topic of Chernobyl in 2017. In 2020, DYMNA LOTVA openly supported the protests against their country's dictator Lukashenka. In 2021, following a politically motivated trial of singer Lesley Knife, who was the guest vocalist on the latest single "To Freedom" (Да Волі), all the band's scheduled concerts were officially banned and they had to disband their live line-up. Vocalist Nokt Aeon was forced to leave the country to avoid arrest. The duo intended to reunite in Ukraine, but then Russia invaded the country. Two weeks after the outbreak of war, the singer finally escaped from the heavy fighting around the city of Irpin. Both musicians were later able to meet again in Poland. For DYMNA LOTVA the release of "The Land under the Black Wings: Blood" (Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Кроў) is also an act of defiance. Their music can be read in more than one way. By itself it is an extremely beautiful yet also a very painful piece of contemporary metal on the dark end of the spectrum with an audible Belarusian sound. Yet in a wider artistic context, DYMNA LOTVA unleash a furious and mournful cry for freedom and justice with “The Land under the Black Wings: Blood" (Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Кроў).
