Taking their name from characters in William Gibson’s cyperpunk masterpiece ‘Pattern Recognition’, the London-based VOLKOVA SISTERS was formed in Budapest in 2009. The ‘sisters’ (Gergely Kovacs, Daniel Sandor and Dalma Berger) found each other through a shared passion for dark and melancholic 80’s New Wave music.

Terra Profonda formed in Budapest in September, 2012.

The songs portray downtrodden sailors, swearing and rambling lovers, startled horses, scarred, berserk wayfarers, and mad, edgy Eastern-European family men among others, all spread out in the night like moths strung up on sheets, swarming in the world of Terra Profonda.
Krisztián Kiss - koboz, tenorszaxofon, ír buzuki / koboz, tenor sax, irish bouzouki
Mátyás Szabó - gitár, basszusgitár / guitar, bass guitar
Vincenzo Lo Buglio - ének / vocals
