Kroda - Fimbulvinter (2007)

Coping with my weltschmerz by listening to Ukrainian black metal, including this slice of excellence from a solo project of Yulian Mytsyk, better known as a principle founding member of Kroda. Like so much great Ukrainian black metal, Fra Myrer Taake simultaneously embodies both the majestic beauty and the icy brutality of nature, never letting the listener get too comfortable with either one.

Track listing:

1. Intro

2. Inhaling the Distant Open Far...

3. Nightwings

4. Fra Myrer Taake...

5. Blazes of Starlit Firmament
