Historian, Melodic Death Metal, Total Resistance, Ukraine, WE Stand with Ukraine

An emotionally charged melodic death metal album that vividly captures the spirit of heroism and the multi-dimensional aspects of war

Ukraine’s own Historian is back with a compelling symphony of war and heroism in their latest release, “Total Resistance.” This melodic death metal masterpiece, self-released on April 27, 2023, paints vivid sonic pictures of the multifaceted aspects of conflict, capturing the valor and struggle of those who defend their homeland.

Led by the powerful vocals of Eugene Corvus Ivanenko, Historian’s “Total Resistance” delves deep into the heart of war. Each track reflects a different perspective, from the haunting “Bloody Sunrise” to the relentless charge of “Predators.” The album stands as a tribute to the heroes who valiantly fight for freedom on the frontlines of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Historian’s musical prowess shines through the intricate melodies and pounding rhythms, reminiscent of bands like Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth. With a lineup including Oleksandr Romanchenko and Shengur on guitars, Dmytro Ponomarov on bass, and Andriy Nikulenko on drums, “Total Resistance” is a testament to the band’s ability to craft an immersive musical experience.

Recorded at Detroit Music Space in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2022, “Total Resistance” captures the intensity and emotion of the band’s live energy. The album’s themes, combined with Historian’s signature melodic death metal sound, make for an unforgettable musical journey.

For fans of Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, At the Gates, Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Insomnium, and The Black Dahlia Murder, Historian’s “Total Resistance” is a call to embrace the power of music as a reflection of the indomitable human spirit.
