Taarkus is a new band from Los Angeles, California. I have
never heard them before but they are a five piece band with female vocal, flute
and organ, so a comparison to Blood Ceremony is quite obvious. The A side
starts with Stones, a slow moody piece with the organ leading the sound. Vocal
is quite cool and laid back. After the first vocal section there is a flute
solo and then the vocals return for an organ solo, but no guitar solo. At
Midnight, again is pretty organ and flute lead in it’s sound and another slow
moody piece. Not funeral doom. Emma who also plays the organ adds a sort of
haunting backing vocal and also on the chorus. Cool songs but it did not really
knock me out and I miss more guitar. Check out the video below and see what you
think?
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
