Tsytska and Folkulaka

On September 12, two completely different yet equally striking voices from Ukraine’s contemporary metal scene will come together on stage at the Archiv Potsdam Kulturpalast.

FOLKULAKA—a dark horror folk band from Kyiv that transforms Ukrainian folklore into spine-chilling tales of werewolves, vampires, witches, and a war that has raged for centuries. Their songs blend ancient mythology, modern sounds, and the desire for the death of their enemies—a sentiment well known to many Ukrainians.

TSYTSKA—one of the best-known all-female bands in the Ukrainian extreme metal scene. Their signature “Velvet Deathgrind” blends aggressive death/grind, accordion, classical vocals, and dark humor. In their lyrics, they transform uncomfortable, absurd, and taboo topics into brutal satire and shatter all preconceptions of what metal should be like on stage.
