2012 promises to be a large year for the band and the world shall experience the power and fury of WelicoRuss!
The band’s sound and imagery is undoubtedly that of black metal; lyrics, concept and ideology are inspired by the ancient Rus lore, which refers Welicoruss to pagan.
The Siberian band delivers dark, intense and mystic sound that demonstrates how to impressively unite the contemporary metal with the dim and distant mythological past. Their music recreates the old Rus solemn and sunless atmosphere, expressing both national feelings and personal perception of the ancient Rus spirit through the lyrics. Devoted to their pagan heritage, WelicoRuss reflects in their compositions their admiration of nature and search for the hidden mysteries of the secret powers that rule the universe. This is what people are saying about WelicoRuss:
