ZÎRNINDU-Să

The second release of Negura Bunget Zîrnindu-Să is a tipical raw black metal album, following the musical ideas of their first release From Transilvanian Forest. Is recommended only for the die hard raw black metal fans. Their is no progressive ideas on their music, the vocal are horrible, the drums are monotone and the guitar is just noise with some technical stuf (in the wrong way). The only nice thing on this album is the keyboards who sometimes create a more enjoyable sound. But there are and some good stuff on thins album, firs of all is the lyrics. Hupogrammos has become more interesting in romanian history and folklore and he abandon the Dracula and Vampires commercial story, focused on some more poetical lyrics. Also the lyrics are in old romanian language, full with archaic words and ancient incantation. For those who understand the lyrics this music really make sense, their fit so much so that gives you the impression that raw black metal is an ancient romanian music. From progressive perspective this album deserve in my opinion just 2 stars and from a extreme metal perspective it deserve 3 stars. The lyrics instead deserve 4 stars.
