Arkona-Vozrozhdenie (2004)

Absolutely stunning debut LP from Russia's Arkona. Really, overall, Arkona plays some of the most solid metal coming out of Russia these days...extremely high quality. Almost all music is written by Masha "Scream", and it is very obvious she has some incredible talent, crafting wonderful, catchy, yet at times, brutal riffs, and infusing them with huge amounts of pagan folk atmosphere. I cannot recommend all of Arkona's material enough. Sound Age Productions.
