Lascowiec: a Slavonic woodspirit who protects the animals of the forest, taking the form of a wolf riding atop another wolf.
Lascowiec: a band playing a style of cosmic black metal much indebted to the Russian Blazebirth Hall style (yet still maintaining its own identity). If you're familiar with Angkor Vat, the band Lascowiec evolved out of, this is much of the same. The drums are hollowed out and buried almost to the point of being subliminal. The two guitars interlock, spiraling ever upwards, through misty clouds of ethereal synth (which are, thankfully, not overdone), forming a mystical bridge between the astral realm of eternal forms, and our profane world in which we must prove our worth to the ancients through conflict and triumph of will. Only through the strife of battle can we achieve our spiritual ascension.
The band have put out a good number of releases on cassette and CD, of which this is probably the most solid. They possibly have some NS ties so if that bothers you, you might want to skip this one. (Or you could stop being such a prissy baby). Their sound is simultaneously romantic and hateful, raw and atmospheric. If you're into BBH, you'll want to check this out. Their stuff that is still available for purchase is not too hard to find. Not much else to say, really.
