BIOGRAPHY
Ravn is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and music producer.
His Dark Folk project, founded in 2021, weaves ancient echoes of Slavic heritage into haunting instrumental soundscapes rooted in the mysticism of Old World traditions, tales, and legends.
Using historical folk instruments such as the gudok, balalaika, moraharpa, tagelharpa, rebec, saz, gusli, frame drums, bones, antlers, and seed shakers, he creates a unique atmosphere charged with raw energy.
Each piece is a fragment of forgotten folklore, a wild and immersive journey into the darkest forests of Eastern Europe.
On March 13, 2026, he released his debut album ‘Zveri’. Featuring 13 tracks, the project explores the full range of the artist’s sonic palette, showcasing his versatility and creative depth. It also marks a significant new milestone in Ravn’s career, highlighting his artistic evolution.
Alongside his solo work, Ravn has performed and recorded with renowned artists in the folk scene.
In 2022, Ravn joined the band Skáld as a live and session musician for their third album ‘Huldufólk’ (2023) and international tours between 2022 and 2024.
He also contributed as a session musician to Kati Ran’s album ‘Sála’ (2024), further expanding his creative voice within the realm of contemporary folk music.
