Dzö-nga streams 2nd album

2017-06-16 by Sevengill | 34 Comments
Avantgarde Music has made available for streaming and purchase the new album by USA black metal band Dzö-nga. With seven tracks and a run time of 43 minutes, The Sachem's Tales is the band's second LP (and first through the Italian label), following last year's Five Treasures of Snow.

The Sachem's Tales sees the band adding a second vocalist in Grushenka Ødegård, with session appearances by drummer Aaron Maloney (ex-This or the Apocalypse) and singer Lilith Astaroth (Sorrowseed). The album draws inspiration from Algonquin mythology and folklore, as well as H. W. Longfellow's epic poem The Song of Hiawatha.

Track list:

1. Midewiwin Lodge 2:34
2. To the Great Salt Water 8:48
3. The Wolves Fell Quiet 7:22
4. Halle Ravine 4:04 (ft. Lilith Astaroth)
5. Against the Northern Wind 7:16
6. A Seventh Age of Fire 9:22
7. The Witching Meadow 3:25

Dude, this is so good. Did you record, mix, master all this yourself? I know you do a lot of self-production. This album sounds great, you should be proud of this one

Yeah, except for the drums (which were recorded at Andover Studio in Maryland). I spent all winter mixing this thing, so I'm glad it turned out well.

Yes, digipaks are being printed now. Initial interest will determine if there's a vinyl run.

"At what point did you decide to become an Arcturus cover band"

funny, that was my first thought with the vocals as well. They are very similar to Garm's on Aspera Hiems, especially the remaster.
