Staghorn - Corvus IV (2020) EN

The American Staghorn undoubtedly made my greatest discovery during the last year's Dunk Festival. So I'm super happy they are back with a short album called Corvus IV.

The band decidedly bought me with their dark folk image both on the stage and the cover arts. But also in their ecological-apocalyptic worldview they preach. In their music, the abused nature seems to be the power people should not ignore. And they do that not only with a strong, brain-invading post-rock but also with their most characteristic trait - self-recorded samples containing spoken poetry or stirring tale filled with metaphors and picturesque phrases.

To illustrate the gravity of the situation, the band don't hesitate to use some post-metal elements like the poignant vocals in Rahula. Still, the most impressive track here has to be the epic and monumental finish in Samsara.
