We are Exist M, a metal band from Minsk. We've been on stage for many years, so we know our craft well. Our show will rock any club and leave no one in the audience indifferent. Our style is post-metal/hardcore, but metalcore, groove metal, modern metal — that's us too. What matters most to us is being genuine: putting real emotion into the music and lyrics and bringing it to you, so we get the same back from you.
If you're hearing about us for the first time, head straight to the videos or discography section — what follows is for the curious minds only.
Band biography
December 11, 2005 — we gathered for our first rehearsal
April 1, 2006 — our first gig. Later, Muzykalnaya Gazeta published a review of that show.
Then came countless drummer changes and the search for our own style.
2009 — we unveiled a new set at the Metalfront Music Awards. We played as a reduced lineup with a drum machine. Still, the audience and the jury appreciated it.
2010 — we finally got a drummer, and the new material was released as the Alter Ego EP. With the refreshed lineup we played festivals and contests and gave several shows in Minsk and other cities.
2011 — Vadim Kondratsiuk joined on drums.
2012 — we started recording the full-length album Redefining. The album was released in December 2012, and on March 6, 2013 we put on a big release show at Re:Public in Minsk. That was when we firmly established ourselves as a serious band. Also in 2013 we released our first music video for Room 101.
2019 — we released two singles: Killdozer and "Nadakuchyla".
2024 — after several years of silence we released the single "Kamenne" and a lyric video for it.
2025 — we returned to live shows and released the single Come On
2026 — we shot and released a live video for Come On, then threw ourselves into recording new material. This won't just be another EP — it will be a whole new level in both sound and emotional intensity.
