Hromosvod is a Prague-based folk-rock band founded in November 1994 by singer, guitarist and songwriter Ondřej Fencl. The band's sound is built on his own songwriting - lyrics full of internal rhymes, violin lines and a driving rhythm section. Over three decades it has released six studio albums, the latest of which, Sen nenasytných kluků (2023), was named album of the year by critics, and the band has played hundreds of concerts across the Czech Republic. Fencl also performs with Luboš Pospíšil's band 5P and with Schodiště, and occasionally backs Vladimír Merta.
The band is preparing a concert at Malostranská beseda in Prague on November 24, 2026 to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of its founding.
In 2026, Hromosvod is performing an extensive concert tour at clubs and festivals throughout the Czech Republic.
The autumn tour celebrating the band's 30th anniversary culminated on November 19, 2024 with a concert at their home venue Malostranská beseda.
The single Báro from the current album gained recognition at festivals and was included in the Rádio Blaník playlist.
In October 2023, the sixth studio album Sen nenasytných kluků was released, which critics later named album of the year.
