SYMON-MUZYKA
'Symon-Muzyka'
(Strong Music)
This
is the first full-length album of Symon-Muzyka,
a folk metal project of members of Dialectic
Soul
and the folk ensemble ‘Rechytskіya
muzykі’.
Inspired by the poetry of Yakub Kolas, this band mixes female clear
vocals with male growled vocals. With the use of excellent guitar
solos and folk instruments the band creates a coherent amalgam of
classic heavy metal music, black metal vocals and traditional
Belorussian sound, which keeps one’s interest throughout the whole
album. The final result is aggressive, due to the male vocals,
melodic due to the guitar solos, and folk, due to the female vocals
and the folk instruments. The language may be an obstacle, as the
knowledge of the language and hence the understanding of the lyrics
would lead in a more in-depth knowledge with the band. However, this
debut album is strongly recommended to those who listen to pagan folk
metal, as well as to those who want to hear a new and different sound
from the upcoming metal scene of Belarus.
