YomaBarr Now this is a funny one
This is undoubtedly Wild West

Thanks!

*definitely unlike what Nergal makes now hahaha 😆

bmurator US Western Atmospheric Black Metal. This is a whole lot of fun! It should at the very least be a soundtrack to a film - just like the cover implies & as per the description! How about a soundtrack / song to "No Country for Old Men" next... :) Thanks BÁL! Highly recommended! Favorite track: Side A.

“That man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.”

The files you can find here are recorded from one of the master tapes so the audio you can hear here is pretty close to the actual sound of the cassette you'll order but obviously, all the tape cassettes and all the recordings are at least a little bit different especially because these are recorded in my witch hut home studio.

My words about this album:
This is an enigmatic album, a visionary metal band renowned for its atmospheric melodies and profound lyrics. Inspired by Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian," the album delves into the harrowing narrative of the infamous Glanton Gang, delving into themes of nihilism, brutality, and the relentless pursuit of power. Through its raw intensity, intricate guitar work, and haunting vocals, "The Ballad of John Joel Glanton" immerses listeners in a captivating auditory expedition, encapsulating the essence of this savage and mysterious chapter in history.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke
