Soil 033: Haktkuligida (Chn) - "Demo MMXVIII - MMXXI" Pro Tape
HAKTKULIGIDA IS THE SHAMANIC BLACK REVENANT SLAUGHTER OF BONE HAMMER BARBARITY AND EVIL SPIRIT ENNUI
Ancestral black metal wreathed in tapestry of sacred whispers by the shadow shaman from the three river valleys of the great Chinese realm, and made potent by medium of cruellest cassette tape upon the fifth month in the age of 2022.
Piercing the veil of reality with black lance, by great power of the bear and the tiger, in worship to those great serpents who gouged with fangs the mighty river valleys, comes that funerary shaman known only by herald of Haktkuligida. Given life by the great mother of nature in the age of 2018, this arch scion of the Nanai people has ensorcelled a litany of grand spells to further invigorate and celebrate those folk with the river water in their blood, the bastion of ancestral spirits in their heart. Thus it would be that Haktkuligida’s debut incantation, Demo (2018-2021), should be planted as tree of pagan life into the earth of Under the Dark Soil, who brings this masterful expression of raw black metal, with tinges of tribal Nanai folk elements, upon the cruellest of cassette tape – reanimated here to evoke a bonus spell unavailable by any other means.
Demo (2018-2021) is an unrelenting force of orthodox raw black metal, one that perfectly evokes the spirit of the Nanai pagan people, especially when combined with those traditional folk instrumentation elements that are evoked so powerfully through the dissonant medium of blackest sorcery. A truly unfaltering expression of dissonant power, Haktkuligida rarely lets up on the blistering blast beat foundations laid with each spell, only giving space to the choral chants of the shaman, the sinister melodies of a lone piano lost in a storm upon bleakest river of lost spirits. Those seeking a powerful incantation of cut throat black metal, one that relishes in punishing speed of percussion and entropy of atmosphere, need scry the flowing water of the river no longer. The black lance has risen from the underworld. The vengeance of the three rivers empowered within.
