HANGOVER IN MINSK bring their depressive post-black metal to Berlin.
The project started as a joke. On a twelve-hour drive from Munich back to Warsaw after Dark Easter Metal Meeting 2024, too wrecked to agree on what to put on, the members of Belarusian depressive doom/post-black outfit Dymna Lotva started riffing on the idea of „depressive beer metal“ – and then went and made it.
What came out is anything but a joke. Debut album Party Is Over (2025, Mork Stork Productions) is a portrait of grief disguised as a soundtrack for drinking: drowning sorrow, chasing something that resembles joy, and living through the crash that follows. Female-fronted, it moves between DSBM, post-rock and black’n’roll, with guest vocals from Déhá (SLOW, Wolvennest) and Kim Carlsson (ex-Lifelover, Hypothermia). Their live debut at Dark Easter 2025 played to a packed room – raw, emotional, unpolished.
Support comes from HKSPK, a young black/death metal band from Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg: cold atmosphere, death metal weight and pure DIY intensity, with a new album due autumn 2026.
