Culto winter

This was a sensible move by SOLAR. The Nocturno Culto signature model (GC1.6NC) gets a single pickup treatment (Duncan's Black WInter!) & given a canibalismo finish with a matching headstock. Simple features for an instrument that is arguably conceived for a single mission - manifesting black metal.

Nocturno solar

Very happy to see Darkthrone's Noctuno Culto on Solar guitar's artist roster just days ago. This guy, he is one of those who has next to zero preferences when it comes to recording / performing instruments. The nature of his music actually allows him to get away with an anything-goes application. So it's another formidable name on the list for Solar.

Sarke: Vorunah

Sarke, is the drummer of TULUS/ KHOLD. Tulus, especially, is the forerunner of mid-paced black metal; no rushing necessary. Of late, the latter bands have been rather inactive & as it is with musicians in general, they possess this reservoir of ideas waiting to over-flow should the containment be unchecked. With the assistance of Dark Throne's Nocturno Culto, Vorunah was incarnated.

What can you expect from two of the most formidable minds in black metal? Nothing that refreshing, really, it's another serving of grizzly guitar-laden music with lots of doom overtones. This, to the BM purists, is essential listening. To the rest of us, we are glad this filler is there

as proof of the purist BM blood still flowing thick.
