DYMNA LOTVA - The Land Under The Black Wings: Swamp [DARK GREEN LP]
Dark green vinyl LP in a limited edition of 500 pieces, includes lined inner sleeve, insert (30x30cm), and protective cover. About the album With their debut album "The Land under the Black Wings: Swamp", Dymna Lotva introduced a distinctly Belarusian element into the black metal scene in 2016. The founding duo immediately presented an elaborate concept designed as the first part of a trilogy. The lyrics are based on historical events and legends from their Belarusian homeland and frequently cite the country's classic literature. The musical fervor of composer Jauhien Charkasau and singer Katsiaryna "Nokt Aeon" Mankevich was ignited by the news that Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich had received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Their first song was created using quotes from Lyudmila Ignatenko, widow of a Chernobyl liquidator. Her husband's story also heavily inspired the HBO series "Chernobyl". Their second album, "Wormwood", released in 2017, revisited the Chernobyl theme. Post-Wormwood, both founding members had to flee their homeland due to political persecution and censorship by the Lukashenko regime. The trilogy continued with "The Land under the Black Wings: Blood", expanding its musical scope toward doom and more traditional tones while maintaining its foundation in Nordic black metal. Dymna Lotva's unique sound is defined by Katsiaryna's passionate vocals and Slavonic elements in guitarist Jauhien's compositions.
