Sary Oy Lyrically Brings The Ancient Kyrgyz Tales About Three Sisters Of Nature In Three Songs.

This Time The Band Recorded At The The "Kick The Flame Studio'' Studio Of The Members Of The Band Disillusion . This Album Included One Magic Long Mid-Tempo Black Metal With Some Acoustic Tunes And An Atmospheric Feel. Epos Is Completely Dedicated To The Band's Beloved Lake Issyk-Kul' Which Is Located In Central Asia. There Are More Than Ten Legends Histories Myths And Fairy Tales About This Lake. Every Aspect Of Epos Signifies A Spiritual Almost Pre-Historic Journey. The Album Is Thick With Pagan Themes But It Is Not Done In A Way Which Seems Almost Cliche In Black Metal These Days. Darkestrah’s Approach To Pagan Expression This Time Has Been One Of Using Subtlety To Convey Power Of Expression. In March 2007 Darkestrah Ended Their Relationship With NCR And Signed To U.S. Label Paragon Records In April 2007. In March 2008 Darkestrah Finished The Recordings For The New Studio Album The Great Silk Road And The Final Work Was Released On August 31 2008 Through Paragon Records. The CD Comes With A Darkestrah Logo Metal Embroided Patch And The Entire Packaging Is Wrapped In Black Silk And Stamped In Wax. The Great Silk Road Is Described As A Spiritual Almost Prehistoric Journey Using Pagan Themes In A Very Unique Way Often Paying Homage To The Band's Shaman Roots. Great Melodic Parts Were Paired With Traditional Instruments Like Kyl-Kyjak Komuz Or Sygyt. Female Black Metal Vocals And Singing Created The Atmosphere Of The Spiritual Shamanic People.
