Emerging from Lithuania, a country steeped in pagan history, Ūkanose fuses its profound folklore with the vigor of metal, presenting a distinct Folk Metal resonance. Voiced in an ancient language, their music encapsulates Lithuania's deep ties to its pagan origins. The album "Šiaurum vėjum" unfolds with nine tracks, each echoing the tales and traditions of Lithuania. Delivered in the archaic Lithuanian tongue, the songs stand as pillars to the nation's enduring cultural legacy. While Ūkanose's decade-long presence is often associated with their vibrant live shows, this album is quickly catching the eyes and ears of the international community, beckoning both dedicated Folk Metal fans and those eager to traverse new musical terrains.
