Harder than normal to find the right words for VERA MALETA. These are sounds and feelings and conjurings that come from a distant time and an unimaginable place. Truly meditative, with layers of vocals and assemblages that take you on an inward path. Recommended for night listening, and seasonally appropriate...I don't throw out the "witchy" descriptor lightly, but rarely have I encountered an artist more worthy.

Very cool post, thank you. It would be very easy for this stuff to sound contrived or melodramatic, but it doesn't. It's quite genuinely and carefully wrought. I have a directory for martial/ritual stuff (it includes artists like Derniere Volonte, Gae Balg and the Church of Fand, Rome, Death In June, you get the idea), and this slots in there.
