#483. Striborg - Southwest Passage

http://www.metal-archives.com/images/2/4/6/6/246612.jpg

Genre: Black Metal
Origin: Tasmania
Release Date: 2009
Label: Displeased Records

The word "haunting" is thrown around a lot in relation to describing black metal bands these days. Lots of bands attempt to achieve that sound, but most of them fail. Striborg, on the other hand, win in every aspect of the word.

This album is a journey through the Southwest Passage, a long forgotten trail through a dense forest. You walk through the passage, encountering lost spirits and fantastic auroras of beauty and despair. Emotions inside of you change throughout the journey, when you're happy and peaceful at some points yet frightened at others. Every secret that the forest holds is intriguing, but only if you pay close attention (no driving through this forest!).

Thanks to Lord Kur from Hatred Nation for showing me the passage.
