VETCHE - 'Vetche' MCD (Nihilward Productions)
Debut album from the cult project of two Black metal Ukrainian hordes: Nokturnal Mortum and Lucifugum. "... midtempo black metal, thick downtuned riffs, tons of atmosphere, droney and trancelike and mesmerizing... The second track is where it gets really strange, whooshing swaths of synth, mournful minor key guitars, acoustic guitars and electronic pulse, making it sound almost like a black metal Goblin... a dizzying chunk of electronic blackness... dirgey, electronic doom-ed blackness, deep rumbling synths and folky melodies, before finally we get to the 11 minute closer with its click bleep electronic rhythm, big slow burning distorted guitars, drone-y electronic black folk, to swirling space-y krautrock-y drift. Wow. Even with the pedigree, this might be a bit too far out for the troo grim hordes, but we're digging Vetche's twisted and unique swirling new age black gypsy doom folk weirdness." (Aquarius). 29 minutes of music.
