Drudkh



Drudkh- Autumn Aurora [2004]

A pagan black metal band hailing from Ukraine has impressed many
with this album which takes the listener through a mood swing through the
variations of seasons; a bleak departure from the summer blaze moving to
the dry autumn and plunging into the dead cold of the harsh winter.

Wolves in The Throne Room

1.Dia Artio
2.Vastness And Sorrow
3.Cleansing
4.I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Rocks And Roots


In continuation of posts related to WITTR, this album is a combination of spirituality+nature+
black metal, creating a non-misanthropic approach to the usual black metal lyrical
themes and showing humble submission to the environment through dark but
energetic forces in its sound.

2.Inexorable Logic
3.Life Disintegraning
4.Sick Dishonourableness
5.Successive Substitution

10.Disappeared With Hermaphrodite Choirs
11.Disharmonisation
12.The Unequalled Visual Response Mechanism


I found a tape of this band at a music store and picked it up coz I liked the cover.
I have ever since never ceased to like this band's music, despite not having much
likeness towards the Grindcore/Technical Death metal genre.

Disharmonic Orchestra is from Austria and started off as a Death/Grindcore band
and lately has has explored avant garde genre in their music.
Expositionsprophylaxe is highly underrated, with excellent lyrical content and grinding guitar
sounds.
