lyrics

Mi-Ke No Kuwom
(When We Are Dead)

Mi-ke no kuwom, duńńe kil'oz,
mi vywe bad'-pu džužawos.
So bad'-pu d'ywad kikijed śil'oz,
köt džožo murtjos bördozy

A short Udmurt poem/song about death. The text
says that once we are dead the world will remain
but a tree will grow over us and on top of the tree
there's a cuckoo (a symbol for grief but also
a "soul-bird" in Udmurt traditions) calling. At the end
of the text it mentions heavy hearts cry out their sorrows.

Udmurts are people from the Udmurtia republic in Russia.
The name Udmurt means "Meadow People". They have a pretty
eventful history with the Volga Bulgars, the Golden Horde
and every iteration of Russia but despite all of this, the Udmurt
population is still almost 400 000.

The symbol in the flag (and the cover of this album) represents
a Sun/(morning-)star/full moon. In Udmurtia it represents the Moon.

Lyrics trad., recorded from an anonymous person by Y. Wichmann in 1891-92
Source: The Great Bear, Lauri Honko, 1993.

Frostbitten
by Grima

supported by 94 fans who also own “Mi-Ke No Kuwom (When We Are Dead)”

Atmospheric Black Metal from the heart of Siberia. Grima is a band that paints one hell of a picture with their music. Intense shrieking vocals echo behind such awesome instrumentals. Leaves you feeling the bitter cold winds of a desolate snowscape. Abyssius Murkraken

This album is incredible. A perfect embodiment of those northern winds piercing you to the heart. I'm convinced these riffs could move glaciers. 𝔅𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔰 ॐ 𝔄𝔟𝔶𝔰𝔰

In the Land of Ghosts
by Olde Throne

supported by 77 fans who also own “Mi-Ke No Kuwom (When We Are Dead)”

I've recently spent a lot of time looking for new black metal that would be moving without sacrificing to cheesy tropes. Olde Throne is by far my best find. The sound is perfect, raw and brutal, epic and gripping. This album is filled with memorable moments of glory (that powerful transition to the riff at the beginning of Cliffs of Culzean, the guitars in Greyfriars Kirkyard...). In the Land of Ghosts definitely possesses the eternal beauty of classics. A must have for all BM fans, trust me! Seb

This record hits that sweet spot of atmospheric, melodic black metal with flourishes of folk instrumentation that I just can't get enough of. gebs
