Urso X Spanish atmo post-black to die for. To those who still insist there are no good leftist bands, 1) get an f’n clue, and 2) give this gem a spin.

“Nerthus” and “Freyja” are absolute mind-blowers, the former being an early contender for SOTY. Favorite track: Nerthus.

Der Brecher This really is right up my alley: Beautiful melodies, harsh and tender moments, a variety of tempos - all masterfully arranged. Not a dull moment on here. The Ulmus songs work really well in this style too. I’m a fan. Don’t miss out on this.

mickbass Nine Treasures have yet to release a bad album but this recording is on another level. The song writing, the arrangements, every aspect of this album is a level above anything they've released previously. Nice and heavy without ever going over the top. A very mature sounding album. In my opinion, with this release, Nine Treasures take their place among the very best folk metal bands on the planet. Easily their best album yet. This is something of a masterpiece. Album of the year so far.

americanscotsman I was introduced to Mongolian music by The HU, when they toured Indiana. This music led me to the Nine Treasures band. Now, I enjoy Mongolian culture and music both ancient and modern. Favorite track: Real Dream.
