Italian Atmospheric Black Metal. This is essentially a debut, from an experienced musician, but still... It involves the combination of all traditional BM instruments with harp. This works remarkably & unexpectedly well in my opinion... :) Can I have some more please?Highly recommended bmurator

Blackbraid is a spiritual force in the black metal scene, bringing a unique perspective and culture that was missing until the release of this album. 'Barefoot Ghost Dance on Bloodsoaked Soil' is immensely powerful, showing me that black metal is as strong as ever. 'The River of Time Flows Through Me' is excellent as well, with a crushing melody and unforgettable song title. Hail Sgah'gahsowáh, the new blood of black metal. Obsidian One
