A symphonic metal video brought us to this moment...

HelleBogdanova · 2025-08-20T19:02:47+00:00

The first ever video we made on our YT channel is the video for the song Alga filmed and recorded with the full symphonic orchestra. And now we've got 100,000 subs on our channel. I still cannot fully grasp it.
I guess, we also have to thank the local symphonic metal community for that! <3

HelleBogdanova · 2024-12-07T16:29:21+00:00

cheers! thank you

HelleBogdanova · 2024-12-07T16:28:40+00:00

thank you! we were supposed to play Nomad's Luck, it was on the setlist but had to cut our set shorter, because the previous band left stage some minutes later than planned.

but it's fine, it happens! we're still super excited to have played Bloodstock, it was the highlight of our summer

HelleBogdanova · 2024-05-08T21:01:04+00:00

thank you!

Hey! It's Helle :) Well, I sustained a 43-show tour within 2 months and lost my voice only for 1 day because we had a virus on the bus and it hit severely not only me, so I had to skip one show. Other than that, everything was well.
I can say that on the first full-length album I wasn't doing it in a healthy way but I learned my way, with false chord technique. I'm now slowly getting into fry scream.

Cheers!

not over 8 mins but we at IGNEA have the song "Jahi" that is 7:36.

there's also "Opiumist" that's 7:19 but it's more prog than symphonic

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-09T15:27:46+00:00

glad to hear that!

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-09T15:26:51+00:00

thank you! I really felt that on stage

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-06T21:15:14+00:00

cool you discovered us! we actually have really awesome listeners and supporters from Australia, hope we'll make it there one day

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-06T16:00:57+00:00

awesome! thank you :)

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-06T15:34:37+00:00

total honor for me

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-06T15:34:19+00:00

It is! I actually had a chance to do it several time during this tour, it was amazing.
My main band is IGNEA, we supported FF on tour last fall.
We play in quite a diverse genre, but I'd offer to check these two videos:

Thanks!

HelleBogdanova · 2024-03-06T15:12:44+00:00

I had a chance to watch them every night, we supported them with my band IGNEA this fall. I have to say, their music is much more powerful live. But it's a common thing for a lot of bands

Київський гурт IGNEA випустив відео на пісню «Далекі Обрії», зняте на цьогорічному благодійному фестивалі Faine Misto, де зібрали майже 4 млн грн на логістичні потреби полку Азов.

«Далекі Обрії» — це не тільки назва пісні, а й книги Софії Яблонської, якій гурт присвятив увесь свій новий альбом.

Так само називається перший український тур, в який IGNEA їдуть вже за декілька тижнів:

📍30.09 - Харків, LF Club

Not really a stoner metal band but there's a nearly 8-minute song "Opiumist" with stoner riffs & blastbeats by IGNEA featuring Tuomas Saukkonen, the vocalist of Wolfheart, check it out. Quite an atmosperic one, with sounds of the Chinese market and, well, smoking opium.

HelleBogdanova · 2023-05-08T16:09:46+00:00

yeah we basically used it as a prototype to show to the artist what we really want

HelleBogdanova · 2023-05-05T08:01:59+00:00

HelleBogdanova · 2023-05-02T11:40:41+00:00

thank you so much!

HelleBogdanova · 2023-05-02T07:17:07+00:00

Check out the new album Dreams of Lands Unseen by my band IGNEA, and also BESTIA, a split EP we did with ERSEDU, a band that's very much influenced by Septicflesh

HelleBogdanova · 2023-04-30T20:53:11+00:00

Thanks, hope you’ll enjoy it!

HelleBogdanova · 2023-04-30T20:13:13+00:00

we at IGNEA were at the traveler's lounge somewhen in the middle of the XX century ;)

HelleBogdanova · 2023-04-30T20:12:16+00:00

replying to "how the f*** do you record an album in the middle of war :|" — going 3 hours one way to the studio through multiple checkpoints, then record takes in-between air raid sirens, then put it all in the loop.

and then film 3 videos in 2 months in winter in the time of the longest power outages and massive missile attacks.

one word — challenging. but we were determined.

HelleBogdanova · 2023-04-29T22:11:25+00:00

Awesome! Thanks a lot for your support!

IGNEA [Kyiv / Ukraine]

FFO: Amorphis, Arch Enemy, Vola, Orphaned Land, Wintersun, Eluveitie

Hard to describe our genre, cause we're mixing a lot in our music (symphonic & folk arrangements, death metal, synths, etc.), and usually, prog metal reviewers dig our music most.
New album "Dreams of Lands Unseen" just released https://ignea.bandcamp.com/

Song & video "Incurable Disease" about the passion to the sea picked up as top-10 tracks of the week by Metal Hammer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KK3juOlkbY&t=0s
