I have a small few additions to this weeks playlist. I have been trying to keep these lists to a very select few songs in the hopes maybe one person perusing them will find a few spare minutes to lend an ear. However, earlier this evening, two songs came on shuffle back to back, both of which really struck a chord in me. I realize metal is not exactly the most aurally accessible form of music for most listeners, and I can entirely understand the majority of hesitation surrounding it. Black Metal especially not being by any means tied to a lesser form of skepticism. This being said, these two songs have really carried the last hour for me:
Далекий Крик Журавлів (Distant Cries of Cranes) - Drudkh (A beautiful cross-section of Drudkh's expansive musical career, following so well the hopes envisioned when first hearing an album entitled Microcosmos)
Sömnlösa Nätter - Apati (To recycle the words of a great music reviewer, autothrall, "with a guitar sequence so emotional that I can listen to it for hours on end and never stop feeling sad". The final two minutes of this song are two of the hardest hitting musical moments I have yet laid ears to.)
Goodnight folks.
