Nadja - Radiance of Shadows (2007)


Nadja is a drone doom band based in Toronto, Canada featuring Aidan Baker (vocals/guitars/electronics) and Leah Buckareff (bass/vocals). They are often compared with Sunn O))) and Earth but their sound is similar to ambient artists such as Fennesz and Tim Hecker, but with more of a metal sensibility. Radiance of Shadows is my personal favourite Nadja record. At times, the music is violent, conjuring an image of an intense snowfall similar to the one on the album art. Suddenly, the music dies down, halting the snowfall for a few moments before it begins again.

Track Listing:
  1. Now I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds - 23:27
  2. I Have Tasted the Fire Inside Your Mouth - 27:26
  3. Radiance of Shadows - 28:59
