МАЯК, sometimes stylized as MAYAK, is a music ensemble hailing from Russia that has succeeded in carving out a space for themselves within the realms of emotive hardcore and post-hardcore scenes. Fervent with dynamic melodies, angst-driven vocals, and introspective lyricism, their sound is one that captures the essence of a generation teetering between disarray and resilience. Deeply rooted in the DIY ethos, МАЯК often touches upon themes of personal struggle, societal pressures, and the search for meaning within the chaos of modern life.

Emerging with their self-titled release "Маяк," the band quickly made a mark with their passionate and tumultuous soundscapes. They followed this up with a string of resonant releases including "Срыв" and "Волоколамка," weaving their narrative with thick, textural guitar work and explosive percussion that echoes the post-Soviet environment's harsh reality and raw emotionality. Their collaborative work, "Split w/ Улыбайся Ветру," showcases their ability to meld with other artists' sounds while maintaining their distinctive edge. With "Бетонное море / Ржавая шпага," МАЯК broadens their sonic palette, further cementing their status as torchbearers of their genre, unafraid to tackle the dissonance of life through the catharsis of music.
