Snøgg "Qivitoq" Review

 Hailing from Slovenia Snøgg offer a very unique and experimental approach to Black Metal, featuring two members Ulv(Guitar & Vocals) & Mørke(Drums), the band have released a tour demo & two EP's including this one entitled Qivitoq.

 Combining an atmosphere & rawness similar to the likes of Burzum,Urfaust &  Xasthur there's an uneasiness & torturous element running throughout the EP, Opening track Alien Nation has some sort of radio frequency noise at the start of the track then suddenly the vocals kick in creating a rawness & nastiness i've not heard the like of before.  I've noticed that sometimes the vocals are less prominent then the music/noise effects on most of the tracks on offer, but when there is it adds a somewhat atmospheric element to proceedings.This is a very unique release which may well need numerous listen before it really sinks in, whats on offer is really good,it may well be very experimental but it sure as hell doesn't deter from the fact that there is some quality Black Metal on offer for the listener.

Qivitoq have a really underground ethos and they will surely have a mass cult following for years to come,what they offer is not going to be polished production, generic sounding Black Metal, they are meant to be raw,filthy and a very uneasy sounding band.
 BLACK F***ING METAL!!!!!

Yurt "Yurt III - Molluskkepokk" Review

 Hailing from Dublin, Irelands Yurt rose from the ashes of existence in 2006, spawning with them a brand of Progressive Space Rock that is here to bring you on an audio sonic assault of the senses. The Sonic Elders of Yurt have spoken and you will take heed.

 From the moment you hear that space infused intro of A Lesion in The Chrysalis you know you're about to listen to something truly special & unique,despite the epic length of the songs there's a basic structure to the musicianship which is extremely effective without having the unwanted trait of been over indulgent usually associated with Progressive music,the band also add a very aggressive twin vocal attack that i've never heard in most Progressive music i've listened to over the years. every song on offer is brilliantly executed making the album as a whole almost flawless.

 In ending i for one love this album and highly recommend people give it numerous listens,you're not likely to hear one that has originality, fantstic production & stellar musicianship, Yurt are an absolute breath of fresh air and deserve all the adulation & recognition they get.
