Russia (part 2/2) - More Metal sounds

This is the second part of the Russian Metal chronicle, where I explore their non-Folk sounds.

Forest Stream is a band formed in 1995, but playing Doom Metal since 2002, with two full length releases ever since.



Dominia is a Melodic Death Metal band founded in 1999. They have two well received full length releases.



Wine From Tears is a Death Doom Metal band formed in 2002, that released their first full length in 2009.



Mechanical Poet is a Symphonic Heavy Metal band, formed in 2002. They have several full length and EP releases, but their quality has ups and downs.

Russia (part 1/2) - Folk from the tundra

The icy tundra of the remote areas of Russia yields several great Folk Metal bands, justifying an entire post dedicated to them.

Arkona is the most popular Russian band. They were formed in 2002, but were completely changed the line-up in 2003, maintaining only the front-lady Masha "Scream" Arhipova.



Nomans Land is a Viking Folk/Black Metal band, formed in 1996. They have released 4 full lengths.



Fferyllt is a Folk Metal band formed in 2003, that released in 2009 their first full length release called Dance Of Druids.



Svartby were founded in 2004 and will release this year their third full length. They sing in Russian.
