I am really wondering where they are from? Because the language seems to be russian, definitely. Or something similar like ukrainian, belarussian or bulgarian. And it's definitely not polish.

Every page I found of them says they are indeed from Poland

It's weird how bands can write songs in languages that are not their native languages. Can you imagine what it would be like if most Scandinavian metal bands wrote their songs in English? That would be so weird.

I see what you're getting at but English is kind of an exception being that it's the "common tongue" of the world (or as close to it as we have).

Is there a similar "coolness" factor in writing lyrics in English when your native language isn't English, as there is when native English-speakers write in, say, Latin? I feel like writing in a different language (even the most-spoken) can give the music a more 'foreign' or 'exotic' feel, especially to the artist(s), which could make it seem cooler in a way.

No it isn't coolness you're looking for there

I listen to so many bands that speak all sorts of languages I don't really see a coolness to it at all anymore.

And of a band used their second language and butchered it and I happened to understand it (like French), it would do the exact opposite

To come from a different angle, a lot of J-Pop uses 'English' in tracks, dotted here and there. Most of said English is horrible however. I can only assume there is a certain 'something' that makes that happen so frequently, be it 'coolness' or pure and simple marketing.

I was hoping these guys were genuinely religious, but it's probably not the case. It would've made them conformistic in catholic Poland but quite taunting in the bm scene.
