What would happen if Genghis Khan traveled in time to our current era, stole Fredrik Thordendal's guitar, and then played an electronic symphony for himself back in the 1200s with it and his own little folk instruments while his hordes swept across the steppes of Russia? Why, Senmuth's Dakhmas would happen, of course.

I have to say that the industrial and electronic components combined with the Asian-influence also doesn't appeal to me either. It's like industrial folk music. Yech. And I agree I think I would really like this album if it was just folk-oriented, but then again I don't listen to much of that myself.

I've been getting more into it, particularly the Eastern European/Asian folk kind of stuff, especially after listening to a lot of Negura Bunget and Wardruna in the past year.


I'd appreciate anymore recommendations if you have them. I've heard Arkona, Kauan, Tengger Cavalry, and Helengard.

This album is about the Tower of Silence, the Zoroastrian funerary structures in the religious cult. At the top of the tower (Dakhma) lattice-laid dead bodies, which birds peck-scavengers (vultures). The bones are collected in a deep well in the center of the tower, where they continue to smolder and break until the decay products will not be washed away by rain water.Construction Dahm related to the position in Zoroastrianism, according to which "unclean" dead body should not indulge in the earth or fire.


Thanks for coming here and sharing. That's really great!

Tengger Cavalry are great, I prefer their earlier work though, Ancient Call was good, but I prefer the rawer approach on stuff like Blood Sacrifice Shaman. I can't say I can think of many others that come to mind other than the two I threw out, Negura Bunget and Wardruna (not metal, just dark neofolk, but still epic as hell). Sawlegen come to mind, I checked them out years ago and just came back to that album the other day... worth investigating. Sand Aura are also really great, reviewed that album on here a while ago.
