Znich

Country: Poland
Genre: archaic-folk pagan black metal 
Founded: 1996

The band was founded in 1996. It is one of the originators of the Belarusian branch of this genre. The use of authentic instruments, combined with traditional vocal techniques and powerful growling, favorably distinguishes the band from many other representatives of this style. Having heard ZNICH once, it is impossible to confuse them with anyone else.

Touring: The band actively participates in various festivals and concerts both in their homeland and abroad (Poland, Ukraine, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Germany). They have repeatedly performed as guests and contestants at the Basovishche Festival in Poland.
