Style: intense shamanic pagan black metal

the only band from Kyrgyzstan anyone has heard about firmly preserves peculiar Eastern tradition after relocation to Germany: third longplay [2008] sounds like a spiritual shamanic pre-historic journey, full of memorable, intricate melodies and traditional instrumentation, using pagan/black metal fundament in rather unique way, setting desert caravan-like atmosphere with harsh female shrieks and chants of frontwoman Kriegtalith, bringing this experience closer to early Opera IX catalogue than anyone could imagine!; first time gatefold sleeve double black vinyl edition is limited to 300 units, Canadian import
