Miasma, the debut full-length from the Warsaw-based sextet ROSK is a prime example of post-black metal done right. We get a decent dose of emotions with excellent centering between clean & harsh vocals. Of course, there is no lack of heavier parts and tremolo picking guitars. Everybody will find something to enjoy. This is just another proof that Polish metal is currently at the top.

Less black then in Anomalie or Harakiri etcetc... or not?! Loading...

I found in more post sound then black. Less black then in Anomalie or Harakiri etcetc... or not?! You're right. The bands you've mentioned are more black metal oriented and also very melodic. Post-metal is just a small touch of their sound. That's why I prefer this band, where those two genres are way better balanced. Loading...

I mean what the fuck? I've never been a first pressing Patriot or something, but I must say - this is a "typical Poland's specificity" - small and provincial "3rd world" country without knowledge of how to make anything good.
