BIOGRAPHY
Spirited and heady: That’s what Folk-Metal from Russia sounds like!
Vivid and thoughtful, swift and soulful – the music of GRAI (engl. “Raven Cry”) is full of contrasting elements! The quintet from the Republic of Tartary in the east of Russia stands for a multifaceted mixture of delicate folklore sounds and powerful metal. GRAI’s folk-metal is artless and natural – and does perfectly well without the typical pagan drinking song cliché!
Founded in 2005, GRAI can already look back on an EP and two albums, as well as numerous festival shows and concerts alongside bands such as Arkona, Dalriada or Alestorm. Irina Zybina (vocals), Ruzel “Ruzveld” (guitar), Aliya “Leta” (flutes, bag-pipes, vocals), Yuri “Sadist” (bass, growls, kaljuka) and Andrey Smirnov (drums) combine “classic” metal elements like heavy e-guitar riffing, massive drums and harsh growls with traditional folkloristic instruments and clear, polyphonic female vocals. The songs tell about the affinity to nature, the soul of the native land and a time, in which the sword was a symbol of wit and power; the Russian lyrics are sometimes cheerful, sometimes thought-provoking and sometimes patriotic.
After signing with NOIZGATE Records in 2014, the next project is about to be due for GRAI: The band will release their third studio album MLADA (engl. approx. “Beautiful young girl”) on October 3rd, 2014! As guitarist Ruzel states:”MLADA will be multifarious and lively, with songs full of mirth, dance, action and rhythm. But it will include some slower, more contemplative tunes, as well. Besides nine brand new songs, comprising two instrumental tracks, the album will also contain two bonus tracks: “V Objatyach Mary” (engl. “In The Arms Of Mara“), for which we shot a video clip, too, and „Yaz‘“, a very comic song about fishing!” And by the way: Right on time with their album release GRAI are planning their next big tour in Europe for September / October 2014!

Lyrics:
Пошла млада к милому
В сарафане аленьком,
Что соткала матушка
Дочери-голубушке
Молвил милый ласково:
«Ты прими подарочек –
Ясна месяца цветок,
Заплети во свой венок,
Моя млада милая,
Самая красивая!»
Пошла млада к милому.
В сарафане к милому.
Ночкой темной к милому.
Пошламладакмилому.

A girl went to her beloved
In a scarlet pinafore,
Which weaved her mother
For her dear daughter.
The beloved said tenderly:
“Take my present –
This is a flower of a bright moon,
Braid it in your chaplet,
My darling,
For you’re the prettiest!“
