I've been meaning to check these guys out. Thanks for the reminder.
If they decide to put out a rarities album, I can't wait to see what they'll call it.

That sounds cool! I've seen you mention them before. I've put their two albums, as well as their upcoming one, on my wishlist, but, as you say, there is only so much you can do with the amount of dough you've got between your fingers, which in my case, as a kindergarten teacher assistent, isn't much either, so I don't know when I can get my hands on them. Hopefully before the end of the year.

Anyway, before:

Now:

Starting to really get into these guys! Surprised to see they've got no reviews. Really a hidden avant-garde black metal gem this band! Love how they mix violin in with their black metal sound, and switch between growls and lovely female vocals.

Yeah...these guys should be right down your alley, if only for the sweet name play.

If you dig that off kilter insanity, yet still incredibly melodic and tight interplay of Amon Düül ll ca Wolf City, then you're going to love this. I guess it's the combo of the guitar that does these wonderful swirling spiralling ornamentations on the riffing, and the zany shouty female vocals that does it. The guitars are actually very close to what you hear in the North African music style of Tishoumaren or Tuareg Blues. It's the same sort of "twinkles" you get from the guitar.

It would be interesting to hear whether John Weinzierl had heard of this music before doing an album like Wolf City. It'd be even cooler if he hadn't, and what he played just came from himself - even if he did arrive at a culture far far away.
