Ugniavijas is a Lithuanian band renowned for reviving and celebrating the ancient war and ritual songs of their homeland. Formed in Vilnius in the year 2002, the group consists of culturally conscious musicians deeply rooted in Baltic traditions. Their music is characterized by the power and passion of male voices underlined by the dramatic sounds of traditional instruments. Ugniavijas has captured the attention of both local and international audiences, contributing to a growing interest in Baltic pagan heritage and providing a bridge between the past and the present.

The band's repertoire is a testament to their commitment to authenticity and historical accuracy, while not shying away from injecting contemporary vigor into their performances. Some of their more recent releases include "Oi Šermukšnio," a potent and rhythmic call to arms, and "Pulkun," a rousing rendition of military might and camaraderie. "Bolsevikai Tegu Zino" and the self-titled "Ugniavijas" further assert their identity as modern-day bardic storytellers, conjuring the spirit of ancient warriors through evocative lyrics and robust choruses. With "Karo Dainos" and "Ten, Kur Krisim," they balance the somber reflections of war's consequences with the valor of those willing to sacrifice. Ugniavijas is more than a musical ensemble; it is the echoing voice of Lithuanian ancestry, resonating through the corridors of time.
