Wind blasted melodic black metal from the fields of Ukraine. The production is raw and gritty and the performance is aggressive. The additional acoustic guitar passage give some room to breath. Another solid release. 7/10 RJ

Poet and essayist, Yevhen Malaniuk, is remembered as one of Ukrainian nationalism's pre-eminent myth-makers. Exiled after the fall of the short-lived People's Republic to the Soviets, he produced his odes to Ukrainian self-sufficiency as an émigré. Is one nationalism better than another? Maybe in war time… His words here invoke (flatteringly) Nestor as an exiled hero recounting tales of the sibyls of the West and their hollow words. Not a man I'd want to emulate, but an understandable ally now. Luke
