VITER band was formed by four members – Yulian “Viterzgir” Mytsyk (vocals, guitars, bass), Andriy “Tur” Kopylchak (drums), Oleksandr “Volkovlad” Yaremchuk (guitar) and Oleg “Sudymyr” Byblyj (keyboards).
It was decided to play special type of music based on heavy rock riffs with a usage of a lot of different Ukrainian folk instruments. The main idea was to create a totally original musical product not limited by common style frames.
Immediately after the formation the band has started an active work over its first compositions, and, as a result, a mini-album “Dzherelo” was recorded in the beginning of summer, 2010. It was released in August 2010 by a Russian independent label Casus Belli Musica.
Oleg Byblyj leaves VITER due to the lack of time. But new members joined the band: Volodymyr “Soncezar” Derecha (guitar), Bohdan “Borymyr” Potopalskyi (bass) and Sviatoslav Adept (folk instruments).
In winter 2011 Andriy "Nirvanych" Hordiychuk became the new VITER drummer.
In March 2011 joint musical project of VITER and KINGS & BEGGARS “Diva Ruzha” was released by CASUS BELLI MUSICA.
