Stop what you are doing and immerse yourself in this new Kaatayra album. – crudely translated to “Only Those Who Saw the Lightning on Your Right Know”, this will indeed send electricity down your spine.
Another progressive experiment with his sound, this album is made from all acoustic guitars, played in a traditional black metal style along with drums, electronics and native instruments, combining to create a psychedelic experience that is far beyond any traditional norms of the genre, yet feels resolutely black metal.
Mixing influences from naturalistic black metal Cascadian bands Alda, Satus, Wolves in the Throne Room, Skagos with psych-folk and electronic oddities such as Animal Collective, Black Dice, this is a wholly unique release, and the third in a row from this remarkable artist.
