The post-black metal band Dymna Lotva was formed as a studio project by composer Jauhien Charkasava and vocalist Katsiaryna Mankievich in 2015 in Minsk. Their bleak palette includes references to DSBM and folk music; the group's lyrics draw on real-life stories, building a portrait of a depressing reality with a documentary-like flair. Dymna Lotva debuted in 2016 with the album The Land Under The Black Wings: Swamp; a year later their second album Wormwood was released, dealing with the Chernobyl disaster. Dymna Lotva became one of the most active touring metal bands in Belarus until 2020, when the musicians' support of anti-Lukashenka protests resulted in a performing ban. Mankievich fled to Ukraine to avoid imprisonment; she met the Russian invasion of the country in Irpin. It was not until late 2022 that the musicians managed to meet again, settling in Warsaw. In 2023, the German label Prophecy Productions released their third and latest LP The Land Under the Black Wings: Blood, a concept album about war and occupation.
