In a parallel universe, not all that dissimilar from our own, a band was born out of hope for the future and complete despair over the present. Sometimes, this band visits our universe in the form of demonic puppets or digital art. That band is Upir’s Mark.

The music of Upir’s Mark, a perverted combination of Russian folk music, Soviet propaganda, demonic prayers, political commentaries, techno and metal, caused outrage and excitement in underground circles in Eastern Europe and beyond, from 1989 through 1996. Upir’s Mark regrouped in 2007 and are currently working as a studio-only band in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
