Potomuchto, Kalevala - "Protiv yashcherov" (2026)
https://zvonko.link/Protivyashera - Listen on all platforms!
Two vibrant and distinctive bands of the Russian rock scene ‑ Kalevala (folk metal) and Potomuchto (punk rock) — join forces to fight back against an extraterrestrial threat. On April 1, their joint song "Protiv yashcherov" was released, a daring, energetic track that combines the power of folk metal and the drive of punk rock.
The song's plot refers to the legendary Roswell incident: the events of an alien invasion come to life in a musical format, and rockers prepare a decisive response to every alien who plans to conquer the Earth. In this epic story, people and musicians of different genres unite in the face of a common enemy — mysterious lizards.
"We've been wanting to do something together for a long time, but we needed a really big reason," comments guslar Kalevaly Paphnutiy. "And when it became clear that the lizards were preparing an invasion, there was no doubt: only combining genres and forces would help save the planet."
During the recording process, the musicians faced unexpected challenges: according to rumors, representatives of a reptilian civilization actually visited the studio. Fortunately, the creativity and teamwork of the teams helped overcome all obstacles, and the track was completed. Moreover, the band shot a video, which will later be included in the clip. The audience will be able to see with their own eyes how this musical defense of the Earth was created!
Listen and burn! And know that everything sung in our new song is true. And the proof of that is this press release. Which is created by an Unknown Intelligence.
Don't confuse them with the lyrics and music - they were created by real people!
