Ūkanose are a band from Lithuania that plays a pagan form of folk metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Šiaurum Vėjum" which was released by Art Of The Night Productions.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while also adding in a lot of flutes and folk music elements. Clear pagan male and female vocals are also a very huge part of the recording along with the faster sections of t he songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and black metal style tremolo picking.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while some the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Back up shouts can also be heard briefly along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and most of the tracks stick to a mid tempo direction.
Ūkanose plays a style of pagan folk metal that is very melodic sounding as well as adding in some touches of black metal without having to revert to the use of harsh vocals. The production sounds very profesisonal while the lyrics are written in Lithuanian and cover folklore themes.
In my opinion Ūkanose are a very great sounding pagan folk metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ten už marių" "Iš prūsų žemės" "Samagonas " and "Plėšikėliai ". 8 out of 10.
