Dymna Lotva’s appearance at Metal Mine Festival on August 22, 2024, held at the historic Old Mine Science and Art Center, was more than just a performance. It was a statement. The band, who fled their homeland of Belarus due to political persecution, found a safe haven in Poland. For vocalist Katsiaryna “Nokt Aeon” Mankevich, playing in front of a welcoming crowd was a profoundly moving experience.
“We were particularly glad to play at Metal Mine Festival in Poland”, Nokt Aeon shares. “The meet & greet after our show lasted over an hour, and we got such cute presents from our fantastic supporters. It all made us feel incredibly welcome”.
Full Concert Video Now Available
Fans worldwide can now watch the full concert video of Dymna Lotva’s performance on YouTube. The hour-long set includes highlights from their latest album, “The Land Under the Black Wings: Blood”, a work filled with grief, pain, and rebellion, inspired by their homeland. The band’s unique blend of black metal, doom, and traditional Belarusian music is on full display, with haunting melodies and intense emotional energy.
Looking Ahead: “Blood Fall Tour”
The release of the Metal Mine Festival concert video sets the stage for Dymna Lotva’s much-anticipated “Blood Fall Tour” across Europe. Fans can expect an intense live experience, filled with the same passion and emotional depth that defines the band’s recorded music.

The Journey of Dymna Lotva
Dymna Lotva was founded in 2015, sparked by the news that Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich had won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Their first song, inspired by the tragic tale of a Chernobyl liquidator’s widow, marked the beginning of their thematic focus on the pain and suffering that permeates Belarusian history.
Over the years, the band has expanded its sound, incorporating elements of doom and traditional music, creating a unique fusion that transcends post-black metal. Despite challenges, Dymna Lotva has continued to grow, releasing critically acclaimed albums and earning fans across Europe.
