Kurgal / Annorkoth - "Through the Woods And Mountains" [2011]

Artist: Kurgal / Annorkoth
Title: Through the Woods And Mountains
Genre: Ambient / Neoclassical
Country: Iraq / Russia
Release date: 2011

Track List:
  1. Kurgal - Sada Emedu
  2. Kurgal - Līlīṯu (ki-sikil-lil-la-ke)
  3. Kurgal - The Hanging Gardens
  4. Kurgal - End
  5. Annorkoth - Memories I
  6. Annorkoth - Memories II
  7. Annorkoth - The Last Day
  8. Annorkoth - Grey Skies (piano version)
Two piano-based ambient/neoclassical projects, one from Iraq and another one from Russia. Kurgal is a side project of Lord Erragal, who also has a dark ambient/DSBM side project called Almenakru. Unlike Janaza, whose authenticity is very dubious, Erragal is a legitimate black metal/ambient/neofolk musician from Baghdad, whose primary sources of inspiration are classical music and Mesopotamian (Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian) history and folklore. Annorkoth's side of the split is also good, but not quite as good as Kurgal's.

    1. Thanks a lot! I'm updating my blog only occasionally, though, as I don't have much time for it...
