Baradj are a band from Russia that plays an experimental form of post folk metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "Hunnar".
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album along with some death metal vocals which also use screams at times that also gives the music a touch of black metal a few seconds later as well as the solos and leads also adding in a decent amount of melody and folk instruments are also added into the heavier sections of the music at times.
Clear vocals are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while acoustic guitars are also utilized at times and also gives the music more of a progressive feeling. Elements of post rock are also added into certain sections of the recording as well as some clean playing also being utilized at times.
As the album progresses the music gets more experimental along with some songs also showing influences of shoegaze and ambient and some of the tracks are instrumentals, one track also introduces whispered vocals onto the recording and most of the music sticks to more of a mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional for being a s elf released recording while the lyrics are a concept album and cover Tengrism, Bulgarian Folklore, the history of centuries-long wars and the reign of great leaders who had an immense influence on the whole world.
In my opinion Baradj are a very great sounding post folk metal band and if you are looking for something very original sounding, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hunnar" "Attila" "Tengri" and "Khiyal - Boiek Bolgar". 8 out of 10.
