STORY
 

Born in USSR, raised in Hamburg, four friends founded in 2008 a band without name and goals. Guitar, bass and drums meet fortunately an accordion. Raised by Russian rock and punk music, refined with modern  metal, from soft to brutal, a band accures that is quite unique – BARAYAN – energetic, melodious and international.

During the first 10 years Barayan supported some Russian rock-legends, played in several clubs in Germany and East-Europe and successfully performed at several festivals like „Hörnerfest“, “Hafen Rock”, “Rock’n’Roll Butterfahrt” and many more. The language barrier is completely conquered by energetic music and performance onstage. Some songs are written in German and English languages. The first release was a demo with four songs recorded in 2009.  "Headbangpogodance" – that is how Barayan defines their style of music,  is also the title of the first album recorded in 2012. Four years later, in 2016, after some personnel changes Barayan recorded a second album, called “peace.death”. The third album named "Optimism" was released on the 06.03.2020.
