VOYVODA

VOYVODA is an experimental DIY Post-punk/Darkwave band, which began in Gainesville, Florida and now resides in Sofia, Bulgaria, in the heart of the Balkans. The band has released three albums and five EP’s and has toured Europe several times, with concerts in Germany, France, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Northern Macedonia and Greece, while sharing the stage with many notable bands from the dark and punk underground scene. Throughout the years VOYVODA has been able to forge its own niche sound, through an interracial marriage of Balkan folk and Orthodox musical influences and classic Post-punk, Darkwave and Indie sounds. Their albums have received many favourable reviews, with “Iztok” for example selected in several noteworthy top album lists (Goth/Post-punk legend Mick Mercer named it as one of the best albums of 2013/2014), while “Aramia” was named as the best Punk/Indie/HC/Metal album of the decade in Bulgaria. The band has also done music for several documentaries and film soundtracks (one of them “Eastern plays” was shown at the Cannes film festival) and VOYVODA’s tracks have been a part of popular Post-punk and Coldwave compilations.
