KOMU VNYZ is an influential Ukrainian rock band renowned for incorporating elements of folklore and history into their dark, atmospheric sound. Formed in the late 1980s, at the dusk of the Soviet era, the band's name translates to "Who is down?" which represents a call to contemplation and challenge. Their music, characterized by deep, haunting vocals and a unique blend of traditional melodies with modern rock instrumentation, has resonated with fans seeking both cultural authenticity and avant-garde expression.

Throughout their career, KOMU VNYZ has maintained a strong thematic focus on Slavic mythology, national identity, and historical narratives, as reflected in their lyrics. Their most recent releases, including the 2023 remaster of "In kastus" and the powerful track "Боги Війни" (Gods of War), continue to showcase their dedication to creating music that is both evocative and thought-provoking. Live performances, such as their show captured in "КОМУ ВНИЗ Live !FESTrepublic, Львів, 2018.03.09," exhibit the band's ability to connect with audiences through their dynamic stage presence and the deeply emotive quality of their songs. With a discography that spans decades, KOMU VNYZ remains a touchstone in the Ukrainian music scene and an emblem of the enduring power of art to reflect and shape cultural consciousness.
