As a tradition, I start a series of posts about female-fronted bands on 8th of March, and let's start from an "international" metal band based out of Beijing, China, but featuring American and Slovenian musicians (no idea where's their vocalist comes from, though). Not much else is known about them except that they like to drink (well, a lot of metal musicians do, and in
some cases - way too much) and overthink life and music. Also, "Anti-Burzum action" (by which they most likely mean opposing Varg Vikernes aka Louis Cachet's ideas and actions rather than music, which is totally understandable). The music is quite unorthodox black metal in the vein of Norwegian prog black scene (think how
Urarv whould sound if Trish was singing instead of drumming). To quote a comment from Bandcamp:
A thrashy, raw, honest, and surprisingly creative progressive black
metal gem from the depths of the underground. Don't be fooled: the
production is clear and balanced, despite its rawness. The riffs are
thoughtful, inspired, and refreshingly unorthodox, the bass plays far
more than a supporting role, and the drummer uses his blasts creatively
to great effect. I'm quite impressed, and want moooore!
