    i listened to half of this,  and thought...
                ------------  Wait,  is this really Russian?

    is there a way i can tell a song like this
                           would be in Czech, Polish, Ukrainian?

    Well, learn at least one of those languages and you’ll find it easier to work out.

    Pragmatically pitch, cadence, frequency of certain sounds are what I use to narrow down spoken languages that I can recognise but can’t speak; but getting
    to the recognition point requires a certain amount of experience.

    Finally got curious enough to look at the video.

    It's title is
    "Deloraine - Samhain (Loreena McKennitt
    All Souls Night cover)"

    "Deloraine" is

    https://www.deloraine.cz/
    "Deloraine is a pagan fantasy folk band
    from the Czech Republic whose live
    performances are full of pagan dances,
    mysterious rituals, and endless energy."

    The links in the description are mostly
    ".cz" domain

    So I vote Czech!
