Vietah

Vietah is a Belarusian atmospheric black metal project from Gomel, active since 2006. It is primarily a one-man band, spearheaded by its founder, known as Antarctis. The name "Vietah" translates to "old moon" in Belarusian. The band's music often explores themes of cosmos, nature, and spirituality. Vietah's discography includes albums such as **Zorny Maroz**, **Smalisty Žah**, **Tajemstvy Noczy**, and **Czornaja Cvil**. The music style is heavily influenced by artists like Varg Vikernes of Burzum, with a focus on creating atmospheric and haunting soundscapes. Vietah's work is characterized by its use of keyboards and guitars to evoke a sense of cold majesty, making it a notable figure in the atmospheric black metal genre.

Vietah's progression over the years shows a shift from early influences towards a more distinct and dynamic sound, evident in albums such as **Tajemstvy Noczy** and **Czornaja Cvil**. These albums display a move away from initial inspirations, developing into a more original and consistent musical style that maintains the atmospheric quality while introducing more varied elements.
