Иван-Царевич

A Russian folk metal group. The group positions its work as a fusion of Russian epic and folklore on one hand, and modern heavy music on the other. In the first year of their creative activity, a concert program was created that combined achievements in the field of rock show technology and costumed folk performances based on the traditions of national culture. Poems, byliny, and story-songs—that is, the Russian epic in the broadest sense of this word. At the heart of the group's ideology are Russian traditions, a philosophy of love and patriotism, and the revival of ancient culture and spirituality. The historical reconstruction and fencing club "Citadel" participates in the group's concerts. This involves colorful medieval battles with ancient weapons and a fire show with elements of stunt art.
