Vietah - Zorny Maroz (2008)

Woah - what I want to know is, how did this band escape my attention for the past 2 years? This is SUPERB depressive black metal. This Belarussian black metal act does not fail to impress. Reminds very much of Burzum, but also has its own sound. Slow droning black metal riffs with atmospheric keyboards sets the mood well. The beginnings of these songs are very long...but it's completely worth the wait once the vocals come in, which are sung in Belorussian. So don't bother trying to understand it. Just revel in their glory. Recommended to all fans of depressive black metal - this is the best band in this genre that I have heard since Burzum's early albums. Enjoy.
