From the dead villages' darkness

Metallurgical Fire Distant haze was arising is the reason I love this album. Favorite track: Distant haze was arising.

Obstacle of Affliction Excellent mix of styles. If you consider yourself a fan of black metal then you absolutely need this album. Favorite track: Distant haze was arising.

H.L. I got this album by chance when I became an "Avantgarde "supporter and immediately was impressed by the seamless mix of melodic black metal with slavic folk spirit and the discreet post metal influences. Music is a language of emotion and that is what you get here: Deep feelings, dreams of the past and melancholic thoughts of today. After listening to this fine album I instantly bought all other releases from SIVYJ YAR available on bandcamp. That says it all. Favorite track: Distant haze was arising.

taken from stereogum.com:
Rarely does a band come from seemingly nowhere to collectively blow us out of the water the way Sivyj Yar did this month. The one-man band was already on our radar but even so, we didn’t see this coming: one of the best songs, if not one of the best albums, of 2014. “Distant Haze Was Arising” — the centerpiece of Sivyj Yar’s forthcoming LP, From The Dead Villages’ Darkness — is just plain gorgeous. It’s an atmospheric black metal masterpiece built on sweeping, rock-solid riffs that seamlessly pull in heart-stopping acoustics, which, in other hands, often seem like a distracting afterthought. Some people hear a bowed instrument in metal and automatically bust out a thumbs down, but even the most cynical hesher would be lying if s/he denied that swelling feeling in the chest that grabs hold the moment “Distant Haze Was Arising” hits its stride. It’s just invigorating. It’s hard to believe Sivyj Yar aren’t a household name already, although you have to think the band’s home base, Russia, hasn’t helped in terms of getting the word out. Hopefully “Distant Haze Was Arising” fixes that. At the Sargeist show this past weekend at St. Vitus, Michael and I were talking about how we wished “Distant Haze” never ended. The outro riff is one for the ages, and when it fades to black, you’ll be ready to dive in all over again.

I love how bands like Windbruch are pushing the BM envelope. I call this BlackProg. It's wonderful, brutal and soothing. This is currently one of my favorite BM releases. Epic, Heartfelt, heavy and poignant. You don't want to miss out on this. This is the stuff that keeps me coming back to BM. It's at the top of it's class. knutepanhead
