If you were gonna give Lord of the Rings a prog metal soundtrack, you’d pick Finsterforst.
Review: Kostnatění – Úpal

Centered around a deep appreciation of the natural world, this album is both beautiful and vicious improvised black metal by none other than Caio Lemos–the man behind Bríi and Kaatayra.

Review: Bríi – Corpos Transparentes
“Rhythm is everything” states Caio Lemos: He provides on Corpos Transparentes, one of the most unique and well composed albums you will hear this year.
