VOLKH VSESLAVIEVICH | Epic Slavic War Metal | Black Legion

⚔️ *VOLKH VSESLAVIEVICH* is an epic *Slavic War Metal* anthem by *Black Legion**, the historical and mythological metal project of the **Noctra* label. Inspired by one of the oldest heroes of the East Slavic *byliny**, this original composition brings to life the legendary **Volkh Vseslavievich**—the warrior-prince, sorcerer and shapeshifter capable of becoming a **wolf**, a **falcon* and an *aurochs**. Blessed with supernatural powers and able to understand the language of animals, Volkh leads his **druzhina* across the wild forests and frozen lands of the ancient Rus, where myth and war become one. Blending aggressive melodic metal with authentic medieval Russian instruments, this song immerses you in the heroic legends of Kievan Rus and the forgotten world of Slavic mythology. --- ⚔️ *Lyrics Excerpt (Russian)* *"ВОЛЬХ!
