Time.O.Torvald
O.Torvald is a Ukrainian rock band formed in 2005.
Specializing in alternative rock and alternative metal, they gained global popularity after appearing at Eurovision in 2017.
If their musical style could be summed up in one word, it would be “drive.” Their sharply executed sound is striking, and the sense of speed evokes something close to thrash metal.
They also weave in the characteristically dark tonalities of Ukrainian music, making their work a must-check for listeners who enjoy a serious, somber atmosphere.
