Laments and Whispers

Insinistra

Prague-based band Insinistra plays symphonic metal where heavy riffs intertwine with orchestration, strength with fragility. The voice is central — tender and enchanting, at times unexpectedly forceful. The music moves between intensity and delicacy, drawing from mysticism and the human soul.

Thanallian

Thanallian is a Prague band with its own blend of fast melodic metal infused with progressive elements, dark folk, and atmospheric passages. Live violins and dynamic vocals are their signature. The band released the EP Between Worlds and several singles, the latest titled The Last Arduans.

Saint Mortal

Shumperk-based gothic metal project Saint Mortal was founded in early 2022. Over the course of 2023 it grew into a full-fledged band, and in spring 2024 recorded its debut EP Return of Myth at David Spilka's studio in Olomouc. Four tracks from it have been presented so far — two as lyric videos, the title track In Nature's Arms also with an official music video. The band has been performing live since March 2025.
