Arkona’s follow-up to the amazing Khram from 2018, where they made a U-turn music-wise into something truly unexpected, has been a long time in the making. Their new album does not disappoint, and it makes me happy to know good things can still come out of Russia.

Still pagan vibes, but its different, its shamanistic rituals here, read a Netzach reviev he perfectly explains this album.

I never cared much about their older stuff, they have some good songs but that was it for me.

THIS on the other hand, is a very good album. Love the blend with black metal.

Yeah I always thought they were a little bit cheesey pagan metal until the more serious atmosphere of this and the last album.

In the beginning I was made of clay. Then I bit the apple and they changed me to metal 🤘

I feel the difference between Andrey Ischchenko and the new drummer and it is that the new drummer is missing to show up pathos that Andrey has when he plays the drums. Give a caring listening up to the drumming parts to check if my feeling is yours too.
