[Beelzebubbbbles]

They've just released a new album, "Utu". It's excellent, you can get links to songs from it on their facebook page.

Anyway they play a very special style of music ,& like to cover any folk music adding bass,drums,guitar but they are perfect!

Sounds evil

[EneriGiilaan]

@gosgulu The piece is build around an ancient snake curse - so what else can you expect ;)

[gosgulu]

@EneriGiilaan no idea what they singing about,could be good or bad,but it exatly sounds like a witch`s messing around on the sabbath scine:))))LOL

[gosgulu]

@gosgulu Anyway they are very profi, special &a kinder spicy) in the evil way))))

[EneriGiilaan]

@gosgulu In case you have not seen it already, put this in your YouTube search box for their video of the same piece (a different arrangement):

watch?v=_keS5CgpBT0

Many (me included) consider that one the "best" version.

[gosgulu]

That is the better one,think Varttina Lumotar vid might been accepted as the best at all..

[EneriGiilaan]

@gosgulu Lumotar is definitely one of their very best.

They have so many exceptional songs that their "very best" category is quite bloated :)
