DARKESTRAH are one of my favourite pagan black metal bands, so I was really looking forward to the new album "Turan". The band plays a quite unique style with folkloristic elements and atmospheric strings. Some parts appear even shamanistic and although the overall set up of the epic hymns is very melodic, they keep a rough edge.
The album is rich with pagan themes, but they are not represented in a way that seems to be almost a cliché in Black Metal these days. DARKESTRAH’s approach to expression of pagan feeling is based on the use of subtle yet powerful musical accents. In March 2007 DARKESTRAH have discontinued their collaboration with NCR and one month later have signed a deal with US label Paragon Records. In March 2008 DARKESTRAH have finished the recording session for the new studio album The Great Silk Road and the work was released on August 31st 2008 through Paragon Records
