Wow, I'm listening to this now and am pretty blown away. I'd say it's black metal influenced neo-folk but whatever it is, it's very very good. They have their entire album on Youtube:

Dude this is an amazing find. Thank you. Totally made my day. On a side note, (and don't let me derail the thread) the below soundtrack felt very "symphonic black metal-ish", just missing the distortion, blasts and vocals...

Right on! The guy from Rotting Antichrist Webzine is going to be in China in a week and offered to grab me a copy of the CD then. Thomas, do you want me to see if he can snag another copy too? (He won't be back in the States til August so it'd be a little delayed.)

Yes please. Let me know how much it is. I tried to find digital but websites that feature them aren't in English!

He's charging me $14... so with my surcharge, let's call it an even $60? Haha how about $14 + whatever it costs to ship it from me to you? I'll shoot him a message now.

He said yes. I sent him the $$$. He just got to China today and will be there through August so who knows when he'll get the CDs. I'll keep you posted once he has them!

Daaaaaang, triple post! Someone ban me... ANYWAYS, Thomas, I checked with my friend and he's got our CDs. He'll mail 'em to us when he gets back to the US in August.

Awesome! Do you want me to PayPal you funds since you've already sent $$$? Umm, let's wait til you get it in hand to figure out that stuff. That could work, or maybe a trade or something. Blake, definitely check 'em out! I really like their sound.

It's definitely not black metal... though it does have some black metal atmosphere IMO. About 2/3 the way through the album or so there's some distorted guitars and pretty dark/heavy atmosphere. I've only listened to it quietly in the background and haven't been able to devote my full attention to it yet so take anything I say with a grain of salt haha. But from what I have heard, I really like a lot.

Well, the guy who went to China just got back to the US so he should be sending Thomas and I our CDs soon... I hope you are able to get ahold of this one too Kimmo!

If anyone has any contacts to this guy, PLEASE convince him to send some of his releases on sale to European or US distros as well! I do not know how to order from China as I cant even understand the page I saw of them

I sent the guy who's getting the CDs for Thomas and I a message letting him know. I don't know what sort of contact he has with the band but he can read Chinese so that's a plus haha.

My CD was waiting for me when I got home yesterday! I cranked it while cooking dinner (spicy pasta) and it is fantastic! I had only heard it on very low volume and sorta in the background but last night I cranked it and really listened to it and wow, it is good. Also, upon giving it a proper listen, I would say it's primarily post-rock, not neo-folk like I had originally labeled it as (hence the changed title). Really great stuff though! I hope they get some wider distribution so more people can get their hands on this. Also, the CD packaging is very simple but elegant. It's a bi-fold digi-pak. Cool stuff. Thomas, yours should be coming in the next few days.

I forgot to say this. I got the mail yesterday and got the CD! How do I compensate you Kerrick?

Post by Kerrick on Sept 8, 2015 10:52:46 GMT -6
Right on! Glad it finally arrived. I was cranking it just yesterday. Umm, I dunno. You can mail me a check or something I guess. Or just wait until the next Orationem album and send me that as payment?

Well this is awesome! I'm glad to be called "the guy" and I'm really glad you like this! I met her through her facebook. The website the album was sold through a website that only ships within China so I was lucky to have been there to get a few copies! Both of them are also in this band, Bloody Woods. They are not a christian band but Anna and Chenbiao are both fervent believers. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see them when I was last in the country or see them on tour. They are awesome! I am proud to be a supporter of the christian underground!

It's cool but not super feeling it -- could just be the mood I'm in.
