ESNS: 2024
Vocalist and Marketing Manager, IGNEA
Helle Bohdanova is the vocalist and marketing manager of IGNEA, the Ukrainian band signed to one of the biggest metal labels — Napalm Records. In late 2018, she started a successful Patreon page for IGNEA, making it one of the first metal bands to use the platform, connect with their fans all over the world, and raise funds for album releases prior to signing with the label. Despite the full-scale war, the band managed to release a full-length album in 2023 dedicated to the Ukrainian travel writer and photographer Sofia Yablonska, play multiple charity shows in Ukraine, and even complete a 2-month EU/UK tour with Fear Factory. In 2024, the band is about to play one of the biggest European festivals like Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze.
