I have no idea what the title of this cassette is, it's all in French letters or something. The title above is probably the phoneticization of it provided by the distro from where I obtained it (Beverina). Munruthel is the drummer for Nokturnal Mortum. Here he presents 10 tracks of keyorchestrated NS ambient with the occasional bad, clean vocal - he calls it a "Slavonic Heathen Symphony." Whatever it is called, it is less-involved (if you know what I mean), yet still hauntingly atmospheric. Munruthel advertises that this was recorded live with no sequencers, so that is probably the reason it is less-involved compared to, say, Ihsahn's keyorchestral noodlings. I like my Slavonic Heathen Symphonies to be a little more bombastic, but the music contained herein is interesting enough.
