TURIA – DEDE KONDRE LP (Altare Productions)

With its jangling, uplifting, almost triumphant tones complemented by pained shrieks and forlorn lamentations, Turia’s second full-length, ‘Dede Kondre’, is every bit as captivating and refreshing as ‘Dor’ was. This is ambient, atmospheric, spirited Black Metal very much of the underground.

Reminiscent of those well-known Cascadian trailblazers but still quite unique and original to my battered ear. Great stuff again.

Evilometer: 666/666
