Moscow, Russian Federation (2002 – present)

Arkona was the name of an ancient Slavonic religious center and temple fortress located on the island Rügen and dedicated to the god Swietowit, so that all of them are devoted to Slavic Paganism in a degree.

Arkona (Аркона actually) is a Slavonic folk metal band from Moscow, Russia, founded in 2002. In 2003 the band recorded their first demo at CDM-RECORDS studio: Rus’. In summer 2003 the band broke up and Masha formed a new collective boasting members from Rossomahaar and Butterfly Temple. With this line-up (and Lesiar as guest musician) the band released three albums. Masha remains the heart of the project, being responsible for the music, vocals (including grunting) and lyrics.
The lyrics focus on the desired revival of Slavonic pagan religion, patriotism, ancestors, battles.
While the first two albums have clear keyboard parts, the latter two releases took a more folky approach, emphasizing the usage of instruments like the flute and accordion.
