Планида

**Планида** (Planida) is a rising Russian rock band that emerged around 2019, blending gritty alternative rock with moody post-punk influences. Known for their raw, introspective lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes, they’ve carved a niche in Russia’s underground scene with themes tackling societal pressures, personal identity, and existential angst. Fronted by a vocalist with a hauntingly deep baritone, their music often feels like a cathartic conversation with listeners—think brooding guitars, driving rhythms, and a vibe that’s equal parts defiance and vulnerability.

They gained traction with their 2020 debut and have since solidified their reputation through releases like *Право на ошибку* (“Right to Make Mistakes”) and *Быть героем* (“To Be a Hero”), which mix anthemic hooks with poetic reflection. Tracks like *XII* and *Предисловие* (“Preface”) showcase their knack for balancing melodic melancholy with explosive energy. While details about band members remain low-key (they prioritize the music over personal fame), Планида’s growing discography and passionate live shows keep them on the radar for fans of dark, thoughtful rock.
