Narbo Dacal – Narbo Dacal

 

 

Narbo Dacal – Narbo Dacal
Self released / Piranha Music – 2022
Metal, Doom, Prog, Sludge
Rated: ****

There’s definitely a touch of black here, a frosty finger of evil. Offset or better yet, complemented by some natural folk elements and a female voice that can bewitch your soul, enchant your heart and freeze your balls off. We’re talking about the four-track self-titled release Narbo Dacal from the three that hail from wonderful Krakow. Out through Piranha Music, the four tracks do all this on a foundation of progressive metal and sludge thundering. There’s considerable ambition at play here, with the sprawling third track DCCXXXVII, scored by passages of massive guitarwork and savage drums, the vocals once again see-saws brilliantly between tender and shattering. There is a new star in the firmament of all those that seek to bring us folk-inflected prog-infused sludge and doom metal. And this star shines brightly dark and shimmering cold and is named Narbo Dacal. And that’s only the start of it…
