KEKHT ARÄKH - Pale Swordsman LP Color:Metallic Silver Vinyl Organised Chaos

Organised Chaos

still clever

there's something strikingly Scandinavian about the eerie and icy cold compositions

It is an ambitious subject and thankfully (even more so for the album than for the play)

KEKHT ARÄKH - Pale Swordsman LP Color:Metallic Silver Vinyl Organised ChaosKkht Arkh is the Ukrainian project founded in 2018 by Dmitry Marchenko. Originally released on the Finnish label Livor Mortis in 2021, Pale Swordsman goes to even greater extents in building a bold and atmospheric sonic palette, and it's now seeing a worldwide reissue via Brooklyn label Sacred Bones. For the sound design of the album, Dmitry was inspired by The Stooges' Raw Power to deliver a more soft sounding album, decisively less "metal".
