KLABAUTAMANN - MERKUR (2009)

genre : avant-garde, post-black
similar bands : Enslaved, Opeth, Ihsahn
origin : Germany
strong spot: originality, cult
weak spot : sometimes parts don't blend together and can be tiring

This album is very interesting. The band uses strange chords that are reminiscent of Ihsahn and Enslaved and has a lot of clean guitar parts that bring Opeth to my mind. The brutal guitar parts sound raw but not tiring while the vocalist and the drummer give a very convincing performance that enhances the cult atmosphere of the album. Overall, it's worth the shot.

9,5 out of 10 goatheads
