Virrasztk - Биография

The story started when Scrofa, Conjurer of the Dead, felt he was in need in assistance, expert fellowmen, for the last honours of the departed, and for the care of their souls.
He sought out Szkrobek, Seer of the Dead, who posesses extraordinary capabilities, and Tomusin, legendary Escort of the Dead, so the three would form the company of The Vigilants. Their powers, their abilities work together, it became possible that they conjure the wandering souls, make them visible, bring them among us, and then escort them to their final resting place.

They lit the candles of vigil, by the flickering lights of which it became obvious: great numbers of wandering souls surround us.
Our heroes began to work, they started their row of joint vigils, for which they sought ancient melodies, archaic texts, they mixed them with contemporary sentences, rhythms and musical motives. For the advanced, yet distant-sounding, tey sought for the help of skilled mourners.
And slowly it all came together…
The image…
The sound…
The word…
The song…

An exciting, so to say, unique effort to mix authentic folk music, urban folk of the 21st century and metal. The Vigilants are not only seeking the crossroads of genres, but reaching back for anthropological elements as well, turning their performances into a certain dark-happening, a conceptual performance of psychedelic folk-metal.
