BIO

IWKC is a Moscow project performing eclectic prog rock, combining a wide range of styles from neoclassic and art rock to bearcore with turbobass. The lineup is no less extensive than the discography: more than 100 musicians from different countries have participated in the band, including entire string and brass sections, the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music Choir, Khakass shamans and even Khyung Nagpo, the school of Tibetan ritual temple singing.

IWKC love working with natural acoustics - a significant number of instruments for various albums were recorded using a mobile studio in various halls, hangars and industrial facilities.

The band managed to go on several European tours, perform at several festivals: Desolated Hills, InProg, Systo and Who Needs Lyrics, Insomnia, play with such bands as 65daysofstatic, This will destroy you, Tides from Nebula, Lost in Kiev and record a huge amount of joint material with the Germans from Willezurmacht, some of which was released by the French label Arsenic Solaris. At present, the band has finished work on an album with a new electronic program, which they have already performed at several concerts.
