Pajaanch and Midnight Swimmers – Czech Republic Song Features


     While we missed both until recently, two Rock-heavy songs were released by Czech Republic bands in the final months of 2025. In the final few days of the year, Pajaanch shared "The Night that Loved Us Back." The strength of the song lies in the dynamic vocals. But the darkness in the “World” and “Tribal” aspects of the instrumentation is another strong draw.
 
       Pajaanch is a project driven by Pavel Bublík, who openly discloses that "The Night that Loved Us Back" is AI assisted. His lyrics describe finding solace in the darkness of the night (the lyrics are included in this post). The track resides as the final song on the album “Veins of Eternal Night,” which is a “dark cinematic fantasy album inspired by vampiric mythology, ancient rituals, and eternal love — blending tribal drums, medieval echoes, and haunting voices into a timeless nightbound saga.”
 
     Pajaanch is a Czechia-based Ritual Mythic Folk project blending medieval dark folk, Nordic and pagan atmospheres with cinematic ritual soundscapes. Rooted in ancient myths, forgotten gods and sacred rites, the music draws inspiration from Viking, medieval and dark folk traditions, with touches of folk metal and acoustic storytelling. Music for moonlit nights, sacred fires and listeners drawn to myth, darkness and timeless worlds.

Lyrics of "The Night that Loved Us Back" by Pajaanch
When all the world had turned away
The night remained, the night still stayed
In blood and shadow, oath and scar
We became the dark, the final star
 
No dawn could reach, no sun could burn
The lessons death could never learn
 
Hands entwined through endless fears
Whispers echoing through years
We carved our name in stone and bone
The night replied, we were not alone
 
Through hunger, fire, and endless storm
We found a place, our souls reborn
 
The night that loved us back
Held us through every crack
Through shadow, blood, and pain we went
Through time itself, we were unbent
 
The night
Loved us back
Forever

The members are Tomáš Galek (drums), Jan Srostlík (bass), Albert Pazdera (guitar), and Stanislav Chyzhman (vocals). The band released “Storm” in November 2025. The song is politically charged with themes of societal decay and profiting over others.
