Biography

Lanewin is a symphonic metal band from Saint-Petersburg, Russia which uses melodic instrumentals, synthesizers, orchestral arrangements and distorted guitars with female vocals. The lyrics are concerned with human existence, emotion, and mental states

The special appeal of the band is a couple of keyboard-players whose unusual duet give a special sound to the band. Lanewin was assembled in october 2007 and a month later gave their first performance at Port club. After that the band continued playing gigs at famous stages of its city. Firstly covering Nightwish and Epica the band started composing songs of their own and recorded the single "Essence of War" which was well received.

In winter 2009 the band announced that they would begin recording an album. AUTUUA, the debut album, was released in February of 2010

After the release the band was overload with questions about album name. What is Autuua? This word was used in ancient low-diavian dialect but due to lack of written sources the exact meaning of the word was lost. Approximate translation of this concept can be described in this way: "Ripples in the water that go after dropping a stone into crystal clear water surface", but the meaning of the word still hides a lot of mysterious secrets
