Polynove Pole (Ukrainian: Полинове Поле, "The Wormwood Field") is a gothic metal band from Ukraine. It was formed in 2004 in Lviv, Ukraine. The music style of the band can be described as melodic gothic metal, with several songs referring to symphonic metal and doom metal.
History
Having created their first material, in the early 2005 the musicians recorded a demo, which included four songs. In a couple of months "Polynove Pole" already started to participate in concerts and rock festivals in Lviv and other cities. After the considerable changes in the cast at the beginning of 2007 their music changed in a way. It has become tangibly heavier, more melodic and closer to the formerly chosen gothic metal style. New members joined the band (amond them – the soloist of Lviv Philharmonic Marianna Laba). That enabled he band to develop a new quality of composing music and onstage performance.
Since autumn of 2008 the musicians have got down to work on studio records, where they create their first official release – a short-lasting album "Pure souls". The second official release, a complete album On Seven Winds was brought out in spring 2009, combining the best of the band from all the previous years. Throughout the year 2009 they carry on with concerts and a new musical material. In September, 2009 Polynove Pole performed on the biggest in Eastern Europe gothic festival "Children Of The Night: The Black Council". In October they started working on the third short-lasting album, Under The Cold Stone, released in December 2009. During their stage activity, the band has plated on the same stage with such famous Ukrainian and European bands as "Inferno", "Komu Vnyz" (Ukraine), Lake of Tears (Sweden), "Torhaus", "Cemetery of Scream" (Poland).
Beginning from 2010 the band stopped their activity due to members discordance about creative approaches.
On July 3, 2012 the demise of the band was officially declared.[1]
