Our Take

There are few bands in the metal world as captivating and enigmatic as Arkona. With their latest album "Kobin," the Russian folk metallers continue to push the boundaries of both their genre and our expectations.

From the moment the haunting opening notes of "Mantra" hit, you know you're in for a wild ride. The combination of traditional folk instruments and blistering metal riffs creates a sonic tapestry that is as mesmerizing as it is powerful.

Vocalist Masha Scream's performance is nothing short of, well, scream-worthy. Her range is impressive, effortlessly shifting from guttural growls to haunting cleans with ease. It's no wonder she's considered one of the best in the business.

The standout track on the album has to be "Kupala i Kostroma." With its infectious melody and driving rhythm, it's impossible not to get swept up in the sheer energy of the song. It's a true highlight in an album filled with memorable moments.

Overall, "Kobin" is a testament to Arkona's skill and creativity. They have managed to blend the harshness of metal with the beauty of folk music in a way that feels fresh and exciting. If you're a fan of metal, folk, or just good music in general, do yourself a favor and give this album a listen. You won't be disappointed.
