Këkht Aräkh

is a Ukrainian black metal project founded in 2018 by Dmitry Marchenko in Mykolaiv. Shaped by a desire to reimagine the genre, it blends raw black metal with melancholic ballads and romantic, gothic undertones. Evolving from earlier work under Yokai, the project developed a distinctive contrast between aggression and tenderness, combining lo-fi aesthetics with emotional depth and introspective songwriting.
