Melodic death and folk/pagan metal project from Ostrava, Czech Republic led by Radim Kubánek with guitarist Stanislav Bárta. Their 2022 debut EP The Forlorn Path weaves folk melodies and pagan themes into melodic death metal, exploring journeys of breaking free from expectation and forging one's own path.
Windswept is a Ukrainian black metal trio from Kharkiv, formed in 2017 by Roman Sayenko of Drudkh alongside longtime collaborators. The project operates within classic Eastern European black metal aesthetics, emphasizing raw live-feel recording and improvisation rather than studio polish. Their debut The Great Cold Steppe (2017) and second album The Onlooker (2019, Season of Mist) drew from the bleak landscapes of the region, while The Devil's Vertep (2025) took a historically grounded concept — reconstructing the witch trials of 1753–1754 in Western Ukraine — as its thematic framework.
