'Black Pine Needles' by Irga is out now!
Scary tales to the soundtrack of avant-garde black: changing like smoke over a funeral pyre; unpredictable like snake movements between bones and eye sockets of skulls on a battlefield long ago; scary in its otherness, fierce in its unshakeable uncompromising. Irga tells a story on the album: a peaceful village was destroyed by the sorcerer Dust, killed the men and took the women and children into the camp. There was a boy named Yavul among the villagers, who was weak and sick from birth. He managed to survive because the bandits didn't even bother to dirty their axes on his puny body. Driven by a thirst for revenge, he crawled to the Black Forest, which sheltered him for a while. And there he began to change, to turn into a half-man, half-wolf. He was found by another wizard, a Whisperer from the village of Magovey... How will this story end? Listen to the legend of 'Black Pine Needles'!
