BESTIA (EP) / split with ERSEDU
BESTIA is a concept EP about the human nature of Ukrainian mythological creatures and the world’s duality. In Ukrainian, BESTIA (Ukr. «бестія») means both a savage beast and a mischievous person. This is a split record that consists of songs by two Ukrainian bands — IGNEA and ERSEDU — and is a result of their 10-year friendship.
BESTIA is out on all streaming platforms, as well as on digipak CD and vinyl. The physical formats and Bandcamp digital album also contain The symphony of BESTIA — a mix of orchestral arrangements used in the five songs from the EP.

Mermaids (Single) / feat. ERSEDU
Mermaids is a cinematic song about Ukrainian mavkas (sirens) who cannot find their place anywhere: neither on the shore, nor in the waters. Just like humans, they are bored when their life is in balance, and they’re trapped in the problems that they create on their own.
This song is the fruit of the 10-year friendship with our music mates ERSEDU.
Prepare for a symphonic death metal epics, mesmerising folk ornaments, a smashing breakdown, and a perfect duo of otherworldly growls and clean vocals by the vocalists of IGNEA and ERSEDU — the Mermaids.
Bosorkun (Single)
Bosorkun is the evil Ukrainian mountain spirit who kills with the power of the wind and sends drought and illnesses to people and animals. But, in our song, he’s a creature who wants to make friends with humans and trade his immortality for their world.
Our intention was to create an intense track that sounds like the Carpathian wind: fierce and chill, rapid and still, unstoppable, deadly powerful, yet lighter than feathers...
