I
like and respect Myrath a lot. There may be tons of bands in their part of the world that
sound like that, but along with Orphaned Land, they are the only band I know to
become somewhat big using such a huge influence from a culture that isn't
exactly prevalent, neither in Europe, nor in metal. And you know how I feel
about band with folk elements, especially when they're not playing folk-metal per
se. So naturally, I was curious to hear their new album, especially since it's
been some time since the previous one.
