Weekends are usually a slow day for news. How could it be otherwise, after all, promoters have earned their deserved, weekly break from everyday work. But at a time when people here at home are slowly heading into dreamland or throwing another post-work bullet into the maze, there’s still a lot going on on the North American continental plate.
So it happens that news of small bands like ARTACH from St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada comes to my service. The duo has released a new music video for the song “Shimmer”, which is on the album.oath of revenge“Can be found. This music video is definitely very entertaining and not pretentious (ha!). I can’t exactly judge whether this is a serious clip from the “Trave” brand or the most for an old school black metal music video. One of the self-confident, humorous tributes. I really don’t want to give spoilers at this point, but I think the train went with the article’s title.

A spoke in this song Gone is the part that comes from part of a poem by David Vedder (1790–1854) written about the Northern Lights. Musically, the number is one of the more black metal-heavy tracks with lots of blast beats. but as always, paired with melody and ‘hand-banging refrains’.”
