Lutsk, Ukraine-based alternative metal group Motanka have released an official live performance video for the track \u2018Des\u2019 u Horakh\u2019. Filmed during the band\u2019s recent performance at the Monteray Club in Kyiv on November 22nd, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Motanka issued their self-titled debut full-length studio album on June 7th, 2019 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

Motanka commented: \u201cFor the album we recorded ancient instruments: dulcimer, ocarina and throat singing, combined with modern technologies, new instruments and analogue sound. This album is like our child, it grew, it learnt and became stronger and stronger. Every piece of the album is saturated with the mystical nature of Ukraine. We wrote most of the songs in our hometown Lutsk \u2013 the mystical centre of Ukraine. The power of the region remained and still is the same for ages. We have prepared the album for many years and are very excited to finally present it via Napalm Records.\u201d<\/p>\n
