Oekrainse folk metal.
Vergelijkbaar met Oprich, Krynitza en zelf een beetje Otyg.

Ik heb de split cd met Oprich recentelijk gekocht en kreeg daar gratis de nieuwe full length "Lykho" bij.
Geweldige cd. Liefhebbers van folk metal kunnen deze zonder nadenken aanschaffen.

The term "CHUR" (pronounced as "tchoor") denotes an ancestor-keeper in Slavic mythology. He is a patron of tribal territories and properties, who protect borders of a kin and its lands from intrusions of malicious spirits and foes. In modern Slavic languages his name still designates a wooden idol, an admissible limit and protection against malicious forces. Primary meanings of the word "CHUR" are “keeper”, “ancestor” and “wooden idol”.

Wat een hoes.

Ze weten zelf in ieder geval ook dat de hoes reacties oproept.

quote:

---

The album’s decorative design is created by Chur himself and it is a conceptual one. It represents several pictures painted in gouache in a traditional Ukrainian manner with a sort of modern naive art. Stylized design in imitation of naive popular prints with brightly-coloured pictures express feelings and ideas of songs perfectly. Someone will find such kind of art rather provocative, someone will be concerned with a lack of glamour, someone will find it just funny, and someone will interpret a form of this art message in the author’s way. Irrespective of any category you attribute
yourself; our message has already attained the aim, if you fail to remain indifferent after acquaintance with CHUR’s album “Lykho”.

Op het debuut staan een aantal mindere en een aantal prima nummers, maar die split met Oprich is echt matig. De nieuwe ga ik nog wel even checken.

Dit album is stukken beter dan het debuut! De split met Oprich was idd erg slecht. Het Oprich gedeelte was overigens wel prima.
