VELES

Debut album from 2013 by this Russian Pagan/ Folk Metal band formed in 2007. With "Psy Gosudarevy", VELES delivers a sound deeply rooted in Slavic history, traditions and folklore, combining the power of Metal with strong epic and melodic elements that enhance the storytelling nature of its music.

The album stands out for its evocative atmospheres, memorable melodies and a solid balance between powerful passages and more solemn, folk-inspired arrangements. Rather than focusing on extremity, the band emphasizes epic moods and cultural identity, resulting in a richly textured work that successfully captures the spirit of contemporary Slavic Pagan Metal.
