Slovo

by Arkona

supported by

Jordan Vauvert Stenka Na Stenku annonçait Slovo dans un festival de couleurs et c'est un vrai plaisir d'entendre à quel point Arkona a encore amplifié dans cet album son univers folklorique sans pour autant tomber dans la facilité ou le cliché. Si les accordéons sont plus présents que par le passé ("Leshiy" ou "Stenka Na Stenku", de retour, sont de véritables bombes pleines de ryhtme), les chœurs, la cornemuse etc. ne sont pas en reste. Arkona, groupe de virtuoses, impressionne par sa technique ("Nikogda"). Favorite track: Leshiy.

about

6th Full-Lenght Album from the Russian Pagan Folk Metal Force. The members of Arkona have already managed to make a name for themselves within the pagan metal scene that extends way beyond the borders of their native Russia. Their new album "Slovo" acknowledges their well-earned reputation with outstanding tracks. The band revolving around lead warrior Masha Scream has managed to outshine all past efforts. "Slovo" bundles Arkona's strengths and catapults the band to new musical heights. The foundation of blast beats, double bass attacks, and heavy riffs remain, yet it is the attention to detail that rounds off Arkona's multi-faceted sound. Folk melodies, complex vocal lines and choruses, clean vocals and growls, orchestral passages, and authentic instruments (violins, flutes, etc.) serve to embellish "Slovo". The diversified end result features epic ballads and heavy folk-oriented tracks bound for certain glory at upcoming live performances. Masha's solely Russian lyrics add a hardened, yet melancholic touch to this latest work. Once again, Arkona has chosen master illustrator Kris Verwimp (Vintersorg, Månegarm, Thyrfing,.) to design the album's artwork. "Slovo" is an album full of highlights destined for yet another impressive victory on the pagan metal battlefield.

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo

I love to listen to this during work, it fills me with calmness and I can almost smell the scents of the forest. Beautiful & serene from start to finish. SilverFolfy
