Protokult

An ever-evolving band, PROTOKULT is now better than ever. Starting as the trio of Martin (guitars, vocals), Mike (drums) and Dawid (bass), the band developed itself through numerous changes in sound and line-up. The addition of Gregor (keys) came when new, more mature interests in history, paganism and folklore took hold — followed by the unleashing of their debut album, Ancestral Anthems.
With the first two pressings selling out in months, the group took things to the next level. Ekaterina (female vocals, traditional instruments) and Vodnik (guitar), both joined in 2010, giving PROTOKULT the visionary, unique folk-metal sound it has today. Although PROTOKULT is a Canadian-based group, the members come from various backgrounds (Polish, Irish, Russian, Czech) and the result is a marvellous mix of Canadian and international forces. The goal is to unite these cultures into one sound, balancing tradition and folklore with heavy, thrash and black metal for head-bangers everywhere.
