Iskra (band)

Iskra is a Canadian blackened crust band founded in Victoria, British Columbia in 2002. Their name means "spark" in Slovakian (iskra), Czech (iskra), Croatian (iskra), Polish (iskra), Serbian (искра/iskra), Russian (искра), and Bulgarian (искра). Iskra performs and contributes to the anarchist underground musical tradition, which emerged via anarcho-punk in the late 1970s and 1980s with bands like Crass, Amebix, Antisect, and Conflict. By blending elements of crust punk and black metal, Iskra say they have created their own subgenre: "blackened crust".
