Russia. God damn you guys know your black metal. I mean just about every single thing I’ve heard from that country that is within the black metal genre is just insanely good. The brilliance, the atmosphere and the majesty coming from that country over the past couple of years just blows me away every single time. Here is another grand example of this phenomenon and it’s by the band called Sivyj Yar, a Pagan black metal band whose pride in their heritage just bleeds out from the speakers. This isn’t just your normal black metal act too….the music found on this release, Burial Shrouds, is incredibly deep. Sure it has it’s typical black metal sound at times but the compositions and craftsmanship of the song writing is out of this world.
Musically this is some of the more divine samples of black metal to be released this year, as the tone and composition are ripe with emotion and fantastic atmosphere. Everything you could possibly want is here: from heavy blackened riffing to calm subtle clean channeled arpeggios, it’s all here and all wonderfully done. Vocals are a distant shriek that are very similar to depressive black metal yet they do not overpower the music at all. It’s all so….lovely.
Burial Shrouds is a wonderful combination of a wide variety of sounds with the black metal genre, giving this Sivyj Yar release a very diverse sound. From depressive post-rock playing to melodic driven black metal atmosphere, this is just simply amazing black metal. Very rich in production, sounds great on a nice set of cans, music is well thought out and the composition is to die for. This is top notch atmospheric black metal here ladies and gentlemen. If you’ve never heard of Sivyj Yar before, be sure to bookmark them now and buy this album. Thank me later.
