Bureviy - Concealed Beyond the Space

What am I doing here?  It's a very warm day, the sun is shining and none of my neighbours are trying to annoy me with their lawnmowers, sawing machines or irritating laughs (seriously, one of those women sounds like a pig being slaughtered when she's having a good time).  I should be outside, enjoying the sound of the birds and bees but instead I'm sitting at my desk, listening to some intense and surprising music.  

Bureviy is the reason why I'm still inside.  This black metal band from Lviv, Ukraine, has bewildered me with their highly original blend of metal styles. I can't find a lot of information on the band, at least not in a language I understand.  So I'll try to guide you through this album based on what I hear in the music.

The album opens with sounds of nature, followed by a first array of raw black metal.  Bureviy has a female vocalist who furiously screams over the crushing riffs and intense blastbeats.  The voice is way different from what men in this genre do, giving it a bit of a punk or sludge-feel which is just brilliant.  It gives the album a strange, primitive atmosphere, escpecially combined with the music.

However, we're not done there, there's a lot more to come.  Besides the vintage Candlelight (label) sounding black metal, there's a lot of room for pagan metal with (male) clean, almost ritualistic singing and a very forcefull headbang-capacity.  This blend is surprising because it usually comes with a more modern approach but Bureviy clearly chose the 'ancient' path.

In a way, Bureviy incorporates the same level of variation as most pagan black metal bands do.  The continues alternation between slow, folky parts and blastbeats driven brutality makes 'Concealed Beyond The Space' a highly enjoyable album, at least if you're into primitive, harsh black metal.  I quite like this album, mainly because of this unqiue combination and I recommend checking it out.  This is sick stuff...
