Heart of Akamon

by Nechochwen

supported by

Album_Hunters Not sure how they got the intro sample with the war-cry/screams on Lost on the Trail, but damn does it go hard! Great folky/black metal! Favorite track: Lost on the Trail of the Setting Sun.

porcelainheart- I had no clue Native American-influenced black metal was a thing, but I'm not surprised it exists. The furious energy of black metal channels the spirituality of Native American history and culture brilliantly. FFO Pan-Amerikan Native Front and Alda. Favorite track: The Serpent Tradition.

𝔅𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔰 ॐ 𝔄𝔟𝔶𝔰𝔰 This is an album that captivated me from the outset. I don't believe you can make it through the first guitar solo without your spirit being moved to march into battle and even die defending your tribe. Favorite track: The Serpent Tradition.

It's rare that an album hits me so personally. I come from a family of multiple generations of coal miners, and some of which were involved in the Coal Wars and the protests. Also, as a folk and blackmetal fan, the album feels almost as if it was made for me personally, as a love letter to my family before me, and everyone who lived and struggled in the Appalachian mines. Incredible, beautiful, and special record like none other. calibercross
