Sound Of The Day : Echtra

I would say that for every twenty bands that I listen to, only one will impress and leave me wanting more. I was getting to the end of my tether yesterday, after scoring through the names of dozens of bands. Echtra was the last band on that list, and hell was I glad that I hadn’t ripped up the paper in frustration, because they were really worth the wait. Based in Olympia, this atmospheric black metal project have left a lasting impression. Their ritualistic sound haunted me long after I had finished listening.
