HLIBOROB

HLIBOROB is a Ukrainian blues-punk band with roots trailing back to the Mariupol community in the Donetsk region. It was there that vocalist and guitarist Illia Miroshnyk initially shaped the band's concept as a solo project. Later on, the rest of the musicians joined, creating a powerful symbiosis of gritty, industrial punk forms and deeply emotional blues. HLIBOROB made their debut with the EP Donbas Blues, which successfully scored a spot on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 game soundtrack and earned them a live performance at Atlas Festival 2024. In 2025, the band was nominated for the Megogo Music Awards and won the "Na Yiyi Osnovi" ("On Her Foundation") grant program. In the spring of 2026, the musicians opened for The Unsleeping at their sold-out show for a crowd of thousands in Kyiv. Currently, the band is rolling out their first full-length album, celebrated with a major headline concert in Kyiv, and they have no plans of slowing down—a new era for the project has officially begun.
