Mistur “In Memoriam”
Dark Essence Records
Again Norway, but this time more typical, according to binding superstition, music. And it’s easy to guess it after looking at cover-art, don’t you?!? MISTUR is a quite experienced band found in 2003. But “In memoriam” is only their second full-length. Well, better to record something less often, but with musical quality and so no, or what?!?
Anyway, these five guys have a little complicated name for their music: Viking/Folk/Black Metal. Frankly speaking I can’t hear anything what could be connected in any way with Folk! The only thing which can explain away using this word is topic of texts (Norse mythology). Besides as for me using words “folk” and “viking” is in this case a pleonasm, tautology or how you want to call it. Weren’t it Vikings who created Norse mythology, so also everything (with music and traditions in the lead) what we can call “folk”?!?
OK, let’s leave these linguistic intricacies! The most important thing here was, is and always will be music. At least I think that this is a Well, it doesn’t matter with how epithets we’ll call this music. What does matter is that I like this stuff more and more with every listening.
