Addaura - Burning For The Ancient Fans of Cascadian Black Metal bands such as Alda, Fauna, Wolves In The Throne Room, Skagos - take note. This is probably your cup of tea. I know it's mine. I enjoyed this band's 2010 demo, and have eagerly been waiting for more ever since. This was well worth the wait. Melodic, hypnotic, haunting, this record is repetitive in a mesmerizing way, rather than a boring way. The recording does the songs justice. Not to muddy, or underproduced. The vocals are a majestic mix of screaming and growling that accent the epic nature of the music perfectly. This is supposed to be available on vinyl, but I cannot figure out where. The band apparently self released this little gem. I'd recommend getting it into your grubby little hands, and on to your turntable as soon as possible.
I love this album so much. It's inspiring to me. Beautiful and driving in all the right ways. This may be one of the most agreeable albums I've heard in awhile.
