Memoria Vetusta II/Dialogue with the Stars

There is no denying the uniqueness of France's Blut Aus Nord. Their five recordings have pushed normal barriers for metal since their inception now nearly ten years ago. With album number six, the trio continue their sonic experimentation and surely confirms their musical curiosity is far from tapped. Conceptually the album revisits subjects initially presented on their 2005 album of similar name (European release several years earlier). It is another masterpiece from a band that is unafraid to challenge themselves and their listeners/fans.
