In 2018 a so far rather unknown band called MOTANKA caused a lot of amazement and enthusiasm at the Wacken Open Air Metal Battle: The Ukrainian newcomer combo stands for an incomparable mixture of traditional Ukrainian instrumentation, metal, folk and modern electro elements. The foursome has succeeded in implementing the trance-like pull of their live shows on their self-titled debut album - the sound, specially christened "Mystic Metal", breaks with all stereotypes and hypnotizes with heavy ethno sounds.
