This really made me laugh. Thanks for pointing that out. |

| Really interesting. Listened to a couple of tracks on youtube, but I feel like a whole album of this would bore me. It seems that just like alcoohol, Pure Folk is good only in moderation. (to my ears) |

Legit? I was turned off by the mention of pure folk, but if these guys are similar to Drudkh then maybe I should check 'em out.
Post YouTube video to help a lazy brother out? |

I heard NO Drudkh on this album AT ALL. I'm honestly thinking this guy is making you a trap. |

I don't read other people's mistakes, I make my own mistakes like a boss.
Therefore I shall ignore history and start killing people from a certain race only to prove that I was wrong. |

Yeah, or a communist coat of arms
Actually the band name is written as a Ukrainian coat of arms, so I could not believe these guys were from Russia. Also the cover: wheat field and the blue skye --> Ukrainian symbols reflected on our flag... what a coincidence!

The point was about the wheat branches, Romanian, Yugoslavian, USSR, DPR Korea, all used or still use some sort of grain on their coats of arms. And good job on seeing the Ukrainian connection  |

Why not rating this release?
Mostly because when you rate a review, 90% of the comments are set on debating said score.
N/A means users comment on the content of the review and respond to what the reviewer had to say. |

|
| To be honest: I kinda like it....both the music and the review. It doesn't always have to be doom and gloom and those guys (and gails) seem to be having fun and it reflects on their music. |

A magical journey into the heart of Folk. Folk metal is the genre I love the most but I don't even recall the last time I chanced upon something this pure, this authentic, this true. What can I say, I kind of envy you because I have always wanted to review something in the vein of Grai and except for Skiltron I never got the chance to.
Thank you for introducing them to me |

Thank you for your comments!
During the discussion of opinion that the group is not from Russia! I want to assure you that this command from the heart of Russia! And no relation to Ukraine, the Communists and all that was listed above.
This is a group that makes music from the soul, and with all heart! |

Great review, Lyrinan!
I should check out this album. After all I try not to miss any good metal albums released in my country. Not to mention that I haven't been able to listen to some pure and authentic folk metal for some years now. |
