Nonsun / Blood And Spirit is a slightly unnerving and powerfully compelling listen

Drone/Doom/Sludge Metal quartet Nonsun, from Lviv in Ukraine, return with the follow up to their 2018 debut album Black Snow Desert. They have certainly become more ambitious and, in many respects, heavier with this release. @nonsun_band @dunkrecords

Idol Of Fear hold that wonderful air of unnerving strangeness
