Stridulum

Shedding the noisy, lo-fi haze of her earlier recordings, Nika Roza Danilova pushes her booming, classically trained operatic voice to the forefront of this icy collection. The tracks are heavily propelled by booming electronic percussion and grand, gothic synthesizer sweeps that perfectly match her dramatic emotional delivery. The release earned immense critical praise, firmly establishing her as a vital, powerful force within modern darkwave.
