Many bands have tried to create a sense of longing in their art, but none have so effortlessly crafted that consentrated feeling so much as Alda. Blending folk and atmospheric black metal together with long passages of lengthy riffs creates the two polar entities that cause the listener to drift away into their story. From cleans to yells and raspy screams, the vocals deliver on every front, capturing various emotions on every side of the spectrum. Just like the most beautiful hiking spots, you have to actively search for them, and thus is the case with this often overlooked band. Tahoma, their quintessential album beautifully encompasses a genuine love for nature and a sense to return to the wild that no one can tell as well as Alda.
For Fans of: Agalloch, Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon
