Гори, Палай!NATURAL SPIRIT
Natural Spirit is a folk metal band formed in 1999.
They are known for folk metal that incorporates traditional ethnic music and for their highly sophisticated melodies.
To put it simply, their sound is similar to that of Arkona, a Russian folk metal band active worldwide.
While folk metal doesn’t have the harshness of death metal, its song structures are grand and will overwhelm you with their power.
Be sure to check them out.
Sita RosaNATURAL SPIRIT
With music that feels like a Celtic melody, Natural Spirit is a folk-tinged, metal-style band featuring guitar, pipes, and violin.
You won’t find this music anywhere else in the world—it’s truly robust and powerful.
Just when you think the vocals are going to be a gruff, hard-to-listen-to older-guy tone, beautiful twin female vocals come in midway, and it fits the band perfectly.

It’s a striking track featuring a rock sound in a minor key, characteristic of music often heard in Russia and Ukraine.

Opus 34CTHULHU RISE
An instrumental avant-prog band called “Cthulhu Rise.” As their name suggests, they basically take the Cthulhu Mythos as their theme.
