After old BM days seems you need to be Romanian to get this band

Surely not only the inhabitants of a particular country can come to enjoy the traditional sounds and instrumentation of that country

I am from Romania and I am telling the absolute truth: after the main vocalist along with the guitar players (bass + guitar), sincer they've left the band, Negura Bunget is a dead.

I would say that they rather feel like a different band.

I have to agree, I saw old Negura live once, the new Negura twice and the difference is huge. Dordeduh and Transceatla is way better nowadays than this...

Of course the difference is going to be huge, you only have one founding member of the band left. Restructuring a band after so many leave though takes a lot of work, and whether people say that he just should've given up and called it quits or not, I at least respect the commitment to keeping things alive, and the results that've come forth I guess I'm just liking a little more so than others. By the way, I would also listen to things like Dordeduh, Transceatla, and Sunset In The 12th House over this, not to say new Negura isn't still enjoyable though

I think Negura's attempt to compose music that could stand up to the classics is commendable. But lets face it, they've failed. Varstele Pamantului has been the last notable effort. Negru comes of as an easy-going guy, but I suspect some shrewdness behind him since not one but two line-ups imploded with only him as main survivor. Dordeduh does much better music since the guitarist was the heart of the band and the main composer. Whether in Dordeduh, Sunset in the 12th House or Transceatl, he has proven to be the real musician. And the most efficient one.

I don't think that's exactly the point, or at least I don't see that as being what the band is trying to do right now. It's just a matter of creating a new sound, not one that can live up to classics like N Crugu Bradului and OM. That's not going to happen, and I think Negru knows it. What can happen though is the creation of a new sound that, sure, might not be as amazing as some of the older material, but can still stand on its own two feet and get the job done. That's what I think is going on here

What would rather be commendable is the decision to keep the Negura Bunget name. As far as I understand, the band was supposed to break up in 2010, with the two going into Dordeduh and Negru going into Din Brad, but Negru decided to keep the name and some of the live musicians. That lineup also imploded. It seems that this one is a lot more stable. Beeing somewhat close to the band, Negru does come of as very band-oriented and is a lot less salty about the breakup than Dordeduh are, which is understandable. What NB has released since 2010 is quite good, but it doesn't do the name justice.

It's a little strange to hear you say that about how each party took the breakup, as the impression I've gotten (augmented by fan comments) is that the Dordeduh guys are the chill ones and that it's Negru who was salty about not calling it quits, wanting to continue the band when it was really dead, etc. But I'll take your word for it, most of those comments are probably just peoples' interpretations anyway, not reflecting any direct comments from the musicians themselves

Dordeduh guys are people who are really chill in general and give this intellectual and professional vibe around them. But they pretty much refuse to play (with some exceptions) old Negura Bunget songs.

Maybe Negru is better at hiding his saltiness. After all, most Negura fans seem to agree that the band's driving force was not him, but the guys that left in 2010. This usually inflates egos. Also, 2 line-ups imploding in a couple of years means that something is definitely wrong with the band. I remember Stefan Zaharescu (Chakravartin) saying that the band is directionless and has no future when he decided to leave it in 2013 alongside all the other members except Negru. Something is really amiss. Negru gives the impression of an easy-going guy. Way too easy-going if you ask me. However he may be a rather shrewd character behind the easy-going facade. I'm sure he decided to continue with the band as it was since OM pretty much established a name on the international scene for Negura. It gave it the impulse necessary to be recognized internationally, allowing it to not stay cooped up in the local scene like so many of the Romanian metal bands. Think about it, how many Romanian metal bands made a name for thenselves on the international scene before Negura did in 2007? None. Only since then some others got some more exposure, but very limited.
