6th album by Arkona. One will find gloomy elegies, grim anthems, acoustic meditations, deafening headbangers, but above all more metal. Arkona borrow at different times elements from doom, symphonic, groove, nor do they forget their black metal roots. The whole atmosphere is strengthened by academical choir, chamber orchestra and excellent guest musicians from the folk/pagan metal scene.

Arkona - Stenka Na Stenku 'Ep

Genre: Folk/Pagan
Country: Russia
Year: 2011

1. Stenka Na Stenku
2. Valenki
3. Goi, Rode Goi! (acoustic version)
4. Skal
5. Duren' (Svarga cover)
6. Noviy Mir (Odda mailbmi) (Shaman cover)

The nearly 25-minute long 'Ep includes a new track from the upcoming album, as well as 5 exclusive non-album tracks. Its heavy on the accordion and some type of whistle, with a strong russian folk rhythm that’s practically polka. In track 'Skal' , Freki from Varg is lending his voice as a guest appearance. Overall the EP is cheesy and enjoyable.
