Firelake is a Ukrainian melodic death metal band from Kyiv. The band was formed in 1997 by Oleh Yavorskyi (guitar), Oleksiy Akulshyn (guitar) and Andriy Salnikov (drums). Under the influence of extremely popular at the time "Swedish wave", the first musical compositions of Firelake were created with a slant to classic melodic death metal.[1]

Biography

Exposed to the "Swedish wave" when they were young, they have been influenced by bands like At the Gates, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity.

After internal arguing, and difficulties to be produced, the band finally managed to find its own style, as melodic death metal.

Songs included in video games

They composed several of the titles present on the soundtrack of the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (Dirge For The Planet, Fighting Unknown, Against The Ionized Odds), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (Live to Forget). Those songs can be heard in game, playing on the radios scattered across the different maps and in the credits.

They also made a song in the satirical video game "Stalin vs. Martians" titled S.T.A.L.I.N.
