Review: Túrin Turambar's latest album "Rzeczpospolita Czartowska"

Sadly only now Lachryma Christi had the chance to listen to the album Rzeczpospolita Czartowska by polish Experimental Black Metal band Túrin Turambar. It was released in the beginning of this year. It was self-released and reached Lachryma Christi inbox through Godz of War Productions.
This is actually a great album if you are in a mood for something different. It is quite dark and heavy and bassy, voice is not very Black Metalish and there a lot of Death Metal influences in the riffs and rhythms, but is a good album. Very different from anything we have been listening to, and it is a shame if it doesn't become known, because it is good.
Musicians are good and very creative, exploring the instruments the best way possible, it is really good and also entertaining if we can put it this way.
There are some calm doomish parts, really really heavy and full.
So if you are looking for something different, not very fast, not very screamy (but throaty anyway), not traditional at all, go for it. These guys deserve it.
