The Great Silk Road, by Darkestrah

The Great Silk Road

by Darkestrah

supported by

bmurator Epic Black Metal from Kyrgyzstan. This is grand & majestic - much like the silk road itself must have been in its time! I love the Folk & Eastern influences here! Plus they have a new album out in March 24 so... :) Recommended!

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) La route de la soie : un immense réseau de cinq mille kilomètres reliant la façade pacifique de la Chine à l'Europe en passant par les steppes mongoles pour transporter des matériaux aussi délicats que précieux — et ce qui caractérise le black metal pagan de Darkestrah dans The Great Silk Road. Cet album est grandiose, périlleux, hostile, il porte la mélancolie de l'immensité ; et en son sein, il contient des trésors d'ambiances folkloriques. Le magnum opus de Darkestrah et une perle du genre ! Favorite track: Inner Voice.

Steven Dunmore I have a record by these guys called Turan and it's kick ass black metal with a shamanic feel. so am really looking forward to getting my copy of this

Tovaritch_boubou94 One of the first black metal album i've heard and get me into the genre. A chamanic journey trhough the great plains of the nomadic tribes of Kazakhstan. If you like atmospheric/ritualist/chamanic stuffs, this record is a must have. Favorite track: Cult Tengri.

Svartnjord Beautiful, epic, wild this truly a master piece of folk black metal Favorite track: The Silk Road.

Simón González Luengo Perhaps this is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard, only surpassed by Epos.

Really love it, highly recommended. Favorite track: Kara Oy.

what can I say? This one is an absolute banger and really hit my sweet spots. Thanks to Ricky for the recommendation. Hope there'll be more where this comes from. I'll make sure my neighbors will love it as much as I do. thyrador

Ter encontrado a segunda formação do Batushka ao vivo ano passado em São Paulo foi, sem sombra de dúvidas, uma das maiores experiências de catarse envolvendo apresentações ao vivo em toda minha vida. Excepcional em todos sentidos, a ritualística e ortodoxismo fundido ao black metal atmosférico abraça uma gama de vertentes que mentalidades engessadas colapsariam ao tentar conceber tal realização.

Blackbraid I

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
