Svartby is a folk metal band from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The band sings about wild magical creatures living in fictional place "Svartby" (Black Village) - witches, goblins, dwarfs - definitely unkind to human folk, but at the same time merry, nature-loving and nice living beings with a good sense of humor. The lyrics are in Swedish. The lyrics of the debut album were heavily criticized by Swedish listeners (even the name "Kom I Min Kittel" became "cum in my cauldron" in Swedish ears, not "come into my cauldron"as the band meant).
