Perspective
The band was formed in early 2022 by Yakiv Marnyi (vocals), Vsevolod Shutka (guitar), and Oleksandr "Fol" Folianskyi (bass guitar).[1] Before forming DK Energetyk, the members played in other projects: Yakiv in the rock band Marnyi, Vsevolod in MyInk, and Fol in My*17.[1] The name "DK Energetyk" originates from the Palace of Culture Energetik in Prypiat, located in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.[2]
Their first single, "Energetyk," was released in February 2023. That same year, DK Energetyk released two studio albums, Yunist (transl. Youth) and Shliakh (transl. Path).[1]
In the summer of 2024, it was revealed that the band's song "Vulytsia Skhid" ("East Street") would be featured in the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.[3] Later, it was revealed that five more of the band's tracks would also appear in the game. On September 20, 2024, the band released their third studio album Zavtra (transl. Tomorrow), with an album presentation concert held in Kyiv on November 29.[4] Prior to that, on November 25, DK Energetyk premiered a music video for the song "Energetyk",[5] dedicated to power engineers who lost their lives during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The video was filmed in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.[6]
On December 11, DK Energetyk made the longlist of participants for the Vidbir 2025 for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.[7][8] By December 20, the band advanced to the finals of the National Selection with their song "Sil'" (transl. Salt).[9]
