LORD BAKARTIA "Uhrikivi" cassette tape

Maleficent raw dungeon black metal from the Biscay Province. Sanctified solitude and fierce vehemence work in unison on this emotional lo-fi full length, that melds caustic riffing with strident vocals and archaic synth atmospheres.

Lord Bakartia has been making an impact in the dungeons under a few different names in the last five years, always exploring the darker levels with fervour and tenacity. Recent releases include the epic 3-way split with Criptadel and Khüll on Forsaken Relics, and an emphatic cover version on the recent reissue of Gothmog's Medieval Journeys on Gondolin Records. 'Uhrikivi' is Finnish for a standing stone used for pagan rituals, and was inspired in part by recent travels in Finland.
