FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ukrainian Metal Band KB Projeckt Unleash Powerful EP “Малюнок (Malynok)” Recorded Amid the War

Blending Alternative Rock and Heavy Metal with Old-School Riffs, Memorable Melodies, and a Story of Perseverance

Hailing from Ukraine, KB Projeckt deliver a powerful combination of alternative rock and heavy metal on their EP, “Малюнок (Malynok),” released December 1, 2025. Driven by heavy guitar work, melodic passages, and a sound that recalls the spirit of 2000s rock and metal, the release showcases a band determined to keep creating music despite extraordinary circumstances.

The EP carries a story that reaches far beyond the music itself. Recorded during the war in Ukraine, the sessions took place amid missile explosions, constant power outages, and an exceptionally difficult winter for the country. Despite the challenges surrounding them, KB Projeckt pushed forward and completed the record.

For the band members, the experience of making the EP was inseparable from the reality of life in a country at war. Yet, rather than allowing those circumstances to silence their creative work, the band persevered and brought the release to life.

“Малюнок (Malynok)” consists of five conceptual songs exploring addiction and its consequences. The EP examines the destructive outcomes associated with addictive behaviors, giving the release a thematic foundation that extends beyond its heavy instrumentation. Combined with the band's guitar-driven sound, the concept adds another dimension to a record created under extraordinary circumstances.

Musically, “Малюнок (Malynok)” looks back to the sound and spirit of 2000s rock and metal, with a particular emphasis on guitar solos and the kind of instrumental work that longtime fans of the genre continue to appreciate. The band's sound combines the weight of heavy metal with the accessibility and alternative edge of hard-hitting rock.

Ukrainian music media have compared KB Projeckt's sound to Godsmack, Rage, and Black Label Society , offering listeners a starting point for understanding the band's approach. However, KB Projeckt bring their own identity to the table, shaped by their musical influences, guitar-driven songwriting, and the circumstances under which this EP was created.

The band has also received praise from Ukrainian music media for its command of its chosen style, with coverage highlighting the difficulty of finding comparable acts within the country's music scene.

“Малюнок (Malynok)” was recorded, mixed, and mastered at KS Records , bringing the EP's heavy instrumentation and melodic elements together in a cohesive production.

More than a collection of songs, “Малюнок (Malynok)” stands as a testament to persistence, creativity, and the determination to keep making music when circumstances are anything but ordinary. For fans of riff-driven rock and metal who appreciate strong guitar work, thought-provoking themes, and a connection to the genre's early-2000s sound, KB Projeckt offer a release worth exploring.
