This project was founded as a result of fascination with history and culture of ancient Slavs. Percival is known as the co-author of the “Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” game soundtrack – awarded, world-wide famous music. The band is also the co-composer of “Równonoc” album, which was the mix of Slavic sounds with hip-hop and which became a Diamond Record. Percival released five official albums, including “Slava” albums triptych, but their music can be found on various records, like audiobooks: “Vikingaasaga” and “Borek and the god of Slavs”. The band gave shows all accross the Europe, but not only – they also visited such distant places like Canada. Percival’s music can be heard in many documentaries related to history and old times of Slavs and Vikings. The band is known worldwide as promotours and lovers of Slavic culture and history.
PERCIVAL WILD HUNT LIVE:
It’s the amazing musical show performed by Percival group – co-authors of the “Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” game soundtrack, multiple award winners (i.a. MocArt 2015 together with Marcin Przybyłowicz and Mikołaj Stroiński), who performed all over the Europe and world. During the Wild Hunt Live show the group presents music that is perfectly known to any Witcher game fan – songs that became a part of the soundtrack, mostly in their original, initial versions.
The video projection was created specifically for the show from game fragments and video materials that hasn’t been published before. Beautiful lights, stunning dance plus aerial acrobatics, wonderful costumes and scenography altogether create magical atmosphere. Wild Hunt Live got lots of positive reviews – both from journalists and from the audience. It’s a treat not only for fans of computer games, but for all those who love beautiful music, amazing voices, interesting instruments, folk and fantasy world.

Oj Tam Na Mori
Percival Schuttenbach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oj tam jalyna potopala.
Oj tam jalyna potopala,
Sobi dubochka prihukala.
Oj ty dubochku siv-holube,
Oj ne daj meni zahinuty,
Na mori vitok pokinuty.
Oj tam na mori
Oj tam na mori, na sinomu
Oj tam na mori na sinomu,
Oj tam jalyna potopala.
Oj nehaj tobi jalin daje,
Bo nam z toboju shumit w haju.
The lyrics of Percival Schuttenbach's song Oj Tam Na Mori describe a melancholic scene of a willow tree leaning over and swaying in the breeze while overlooking the blue sea. The willow tree is personified, as it seemingly mourns the loss of someone or something. It is accompanied by sounds of the sea and the wind blowing through the nearby woods. The singer addresses the tree, calling it a gray dove. The singer implores the tree not to let them perish and to stay by the sea where they belong. In the last lines, the singer refers to the willow as "jalin," and requests that it continue to sway and rustle its leaves for comfort.
The lyrics evoke emotions of longing, sorrow, and despair, likely inspired by the landscape of the Baltic Sea region where the band is from. The mournful willow tree serves as a symbol for the widespread melancholy and loss experienced by the peoples of that region throughout their tumultuous history of conflict, domination, and displacement. The beautiful and haunting melody of the song, combined with the lyrical imagery, creates a longing for connection to a place that is rooted in both pain and beauty.
