TOK YATHRAA "Chapter: Toyol" [CD, A5 Size, Digibook]
2021 - Death/Doom from Philippines
Detailed Description
Second album of Southeast Asian ghost story inspired black/heavy metal from Singapore. Obscure, exotic and horrifying as ever. Eight brand new tracks about the green child goblin Toyol, used as a thief by those who know their black magic: listen and learn. Musically influenced all the way from Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Death SS and Judas Priest to black metal to traditional South-East Asian folk music. This is a very well constructed, thematic album with the catchiness of the songs reaching the very highest level of classic heavy metal perfection, all with a strongly exotic Asian touch. Big "dvd sized" digipak and a 12 page booklet with absolutely striking artwork and layout. Definitely the kind of metal magic you need to hear and see to believe!
