Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stripping away their trademark black metal elements entirely, the Ukrainian collective delivers a purely acoustic, instrumental folk album. The compositions rely on traditional acoustic guitars and woodwinds to evoke the melancholic beauty of Eastern European landscapes and mythology. It serves as a quiet, atmospheric interlude in their otherwise aggressive discography.
