Russian metal

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Russian metal bands. Plenty of thrash, black metal, and old school metal.
Excellent stuff, especially when the bands sing in Russian. Here they are in case you're curious: Both Russian and English as well as genre:

Д.И.В.- D.I.V. - thrash
Коррозия Металла - Korroziya Metalla - thrash
Shah - thrash
Чёрный Обелиск - Black Obelisk - thrash
Железный Поток - Iron Thread - thrash
Аспид - Aspid - thrash
ДАЙ - D.A.I. - thrash
Hellraiser - thrash
Мастер - Master - thrash/speed
Branikald - black
Raven Dark - black
Forest - black
Nitberg - black
Vargleide - black
Walknut - black
Kruger - death
Холостой Выстрел - Blank Shot - death/thrash
Graveside - death
Электро-Судорожная Терапия - Electro Cramping Therapy - speed/heavy
Ария - Aria - heavy
Круиз - Cruise - heavy

Yeah, Walknut is great! I'd also add Station Dysthymia, Below The Sun and Grey Heaven Fall to this list. The first two play some top notch doom metal with a bit of post-metal (Envoy) and psychodelia (Overhead, Without Any Fuss, The Stars Were Going Out). GHF is known for playing an amazing black metal.

Scald Scald Scald Scaaaaaald

Necrocannibal, Graveside, Death Vomit

SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL HURRRRA

Just found out about them :
Ulfdallir
sounds good to me.

A great Doom metal from Ukraine

I wonder if anybody else has had this weird problem I had some time ago.

I tried to listen to some Russian metal with my phone but the player just kept crashing. I tried multiple phones and different media players and the result was always the same. Then I tried some decade old mp3 player and it was all fine, same with my old laptop and its ancient open source media player. I even got my hands on a brand new Chinese player and it worked normally. It's just the current day Western Android software that refuse to play them. As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with the files themselves.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I wonder if this has something to do with the ongoing war and the sanctions against Russia. Like they're doing stuff like this on purpose.
