Vorvaň was formed by guitarist Eugene Cherevkov who had left his previous band Tombstone Piledriver and started the new project in 2009 in Moscow with an idea of playing fast mix of metal and punk. After a long process of trying different musicians, Eugene’s old mate Igor Butz joined him as a bassist in early 2011. Later that year drummer, Aleksandr Fursov and vocalist Eli Mavrychev completed the band’s line up. In February 2012 Vorvaň released their debut EP "Sailing the Vastness of Oceans" via Gorgona Records limited to only 500 CD copies. As expected, it was influenced by Converge, Disfear and Mastodon. After the "Sailing the Vastness of Oceans" release Aleksandr left the band and new drummer Alexey Merganov joined Vorvaň. Fresh line up went on in November 2012 and went on the CIS tour by the end of year. During 2013 Vorvaň were actively playing local shows, sharing stage with such bands as Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror. In October, the band releases a digital EP “In Gloom” consisting of four new songs where they presented much more aggressive and solid sound. Their music became even more experimental and chaotic. 2014, Vorvaň opened their new recording studio and went on their first headlining European tour. Later, Zakk Hemma replaced Alexey Merganov as a drummer and Vorvaň focused on writing a material for the new full-length album, playing shows with Converge, Kylesa, Architects. Whole of 2015 was spent on new material and experiments with recording and finally, Vorvaň finished working on their first longplay album “Once Love Was Lost” which was mixed and mastered by American producers Kurt Ballou (Converge) and Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise). In September 2016, Vorvaň premiered the new song “The Black Kaleidoscope” featuring guest vocals of Armin Schweiger (Afgrund/Distaste) and quickly followed by their new official music video release on the song “When Serpent Strikes First”. On October 5, new song “Sirens” became exclusively available for digital streaming that made the upcoming album highly anticipated worldwide. This song features guest appearance of Meghan O’Neil known as a vocalist for San Francisco-based Punch and Super Unison. “Once Love Was Lost” was officially released via German labels Wooaaargh and Darkened Days Records on double coloured vinyls. This press includes a 32-page booklet with the lyrics plus artwork done by Rotting Graphics and exclusively features Vorvaň’s cover on the song “Struck a Nerve” originally performed by Machine Head. By the end of year, the band went on short Russian tour. In an interview to Metal Hammer, vocalist Eli Mavrychev has revealed Vorvaň’s plans to tour Europe and the UK in 2017.
