Kyrgyzstan-based mystic black metallers Darkestrah stream their seventh album, Nomad, due on 29 March via Osmose Productions.
On its seventh full-length, Nomad, Darkestrah ventures further on its chosen path of epic shamanic black metal. Sharp black metal riffing and traditional Central Asian melodies, verses from Kyrgyz epic poetry, and visions of spiritual quests are all woven into the fabric of this new opus.
With a new lineup consisting of long-term veterans and fresh blood, Darkestrah has never been in better shape. Link
