Their fourth album has now officially seen the light of day.

On April 3, 2026, Ukrainian folk metal project ORATHANIA will release its debut album Echo Of Freedom via Archivist Records.

ORATHANIA was formed in Kyiv in 2025 by Ukrainian lirnyk-kobzar Borgvarr together with Varggoth and Karpath from the original line-up of Nokturnal Mortum. The project brings together traditional Ukrainian elements and heavy music without separating the two into “folk” and “metal” – both are treated as one language.

The band explores the ancient and mystical roots of Ukraine and the unbreakable spirit of a land shaped by historical trials and an unwavering belief in Ukraine’s physical and existential victory.

The band’s second single, “Nashe Svitlo”, is out now, accompanied by an official lyric video, and is presented with the following message: “Today, on a day of remembrance, pain, and resilience, ORATHANIA presents ‘Our Light.’ May our light heal the bitterness of all sorrows. With gratitude to everyone who stands for and protects Ukraine. Follow Us!!! Support Us!!! Subscribe!!!”

Earlier, the band unveiled their first single, “Perun”, which rises from the image of thunder in the night sky — a symbol of strength and unbroken will. The song combines traditional instrumentation with direct, riff-driven structures and a restrained, almost ritual atmosphere.
Listen to “Perun” here.

Knife Emoji’s Doppelgang is a feverish alt-folk/rock spiral that blurs identity and instinct in equal measure. Built on jagged guitar lines, thunderous drums, and streaks of swirling synths, the track feels both confrontational and hypnotic. There’s a theatrical intensity in the delivery—half confession, half confrontation—as if staring down your own reflection and daring it to blink first.

The production walks a tightrope between chaos and control, letting distortion breathe without losing melodic grip. As a preview of their debut album (out March 20), Doppelgang signals a band unafraid of excess, tension, and dark self-examination. Bold, abrasive, and strangely addictive.

Half Shadow’s Fruit unfolds like a fragile incantation whispered at dawn. Balancing experimental folk textures with a primal pop pulse, the track feels intimate and elemental—finger-picked guitars rattling gently beneath Jesse Carsten’s hushed, poetic delivery. Lyrically, it’s a meditation on endurance and renewal, tracing the slow thaw after a season of mental unrest.

“There’s patience in the soil,” the song seems to suggest, even when the field lies fallow. Rather than dramatizing struggle, Fruit leans into quiet resilience, envisioning warmth and self-love on the horizon. A bare-skinned, searching piece that blossoms gradually, rewarding listeners with its understated emotional depth.
