Dymna Lotva combines doom and post black metal, adding sometimes dsbm and folk elements. The band's shows are remembered for their strong emotionality. Due to the use of real stories in the lyrics, the musicians’ style is sometimes called “documentary metal.” Dymna Lotva was founded in 2015 in Minsk, Belarus. Already in 2016, the debut LP Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Дрыгва (The Land Under The Black Wings: Swamp) was released. A year later, the second album Палын (Wormwood) dedicated to the Chernobyl disaster, was released. Very soon Dymna Lotva became one of the most active metal bands in Belarus. In 2020, musicians openly supported protests against the dictatorship. Because of this, in the summer of 2021, all Dymna Lotva’s concerts in Belarus were banned. Part of the lineup fled to Ukraine to avoid persecution. Only at the end of 2022 the musicians managed to reunite in Warsaw. In August 2023, the third LP Зямля Пад Чорнымі Крыламі: Кроў (The Land Under The Black Wings: Blood) was released on the German label Prophecy Productions. This is a conceptual album about war and occupation. Dymna Lotva played at club and open air festivals in Germany, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and russia; shared the stage with Cradle Of Filth, Amenra, Agalloch, Saturnus, Tiamat, Paradise Lost, Nokturnal Mortum, White Ward, 1914 and many others.
