Digging Up Graves ~ Haljōrūna
Maybe I'm just a sucker for folk/Nordic inspired black metal, but when it's done as well as what Haljōrūna is offering who can argue with it. An interesting mix of clean and black metal vocals with a slow driving beat to the music really sets the mood for their entire Midvinterblot album. Midtvinterblot by Haljōrūna By far my favorite track on the album is Urds Kjelde but the rest of the album isn't lacking in any regard. The marching beat of this track blended with the keyboards and drums is a perfect merger of folk and metal that few bands nail as successfully as Haljōrūna. Head over to their Bandcamp page and give them a listen... The entire digital download is only around $6.00 (50 Sek) so be sure to Follow Haljōrūna and support them in any way you can! www.haljoruna.bandcamp.com
