Only fair to do the recs first so here goes.
Title: “V pogonie za beloj ten'yu"
Artist: Arkona
Album: Khram
Genre: Folk/Black Metal
What I know about this artist: I think MicShaz recced me one of their tracks in one of my many other threads, and I think I loved it.
And now, to listen...
Great power, good atmosphere and I love the riffs. Time was when death vocals would turn me right off, nowadays, though I prefer my vocals to be listenable, I can stand them all right. There are also some clean vocals on here, which helps. It's in Russian (or whatever) which doesn't, but then folk metal is often not in English anyway so no big deal. Sounds like there's a female vocal in there somewhere too. It's quite long, at eight minutes and change, but I think a song like this needs to be that long. This allows for a great dark atmospheric instrumental that leads into a fine closing section.
One-word impression after listening: Excellent
