Жабъ / Zhab Saratov, Russia
The band was formed in Saratov, Russia, in 2009 to praise Zhab - the ancient troll that lives in a swamp. Every song tells a story of Zhab's everyday life.
The band took part in Russian Folk Summer Fest in 2015-2017.

Skylark (2017) [as Rvi Mekha!]
by Plamya V Nas
Beautiful and strong (which is disgusting for us, troll-punks) work by our ex-friends. If you like folk-metal with female vocals (like Alkonost and Kalevala) you must not pass this by.

"Terra Ursorum" (2011)
by Духи Предков/Dukhi Predkov
The first and yet only magnum opus by our fellow band where dudes from Zhab play or played. Yup, nearly all of us made it through this band. So dig it or leave it, folks.

Illusion Of Choice [LP, 2017]
by Svartstorm
We were forced to add it because our merch-guy plays there. Not folkish but heavy. We despise metal but you may check it anyway.
