Ukranian band Odradek Room just released a new album called Bardo. Relative Reality. through Hypnotic Dirge Records. It is not Black Metal, they are actually labeled as Progressive Melodic Death/Doom Metal, but they are actually very Post-Metalish and good, that's why Lachryma Christi decided to include them on the reviews. This is a very busy time, but this record is so good that couldn't just be ignored.So, basically this i...

Kafka must have affected not just the trio of Ukraine in question as Odradek Room is the name of a story by the brilliant writer. However these three shady characters unexpectedly come from the East offering something that without a doubt I can recommend to lovers of the French project Alcest, type of music that is having serious repercussions throughout the duration of this "Bardo. Relative Real...

Taking their name from a Kafka story, Ukrainian quartet Odradek Room greets us suspiciously with their debut album, ‘Bardo. Relative Reality’. 7 sweeping tracks of undulating emotion and anguish ooze from the stereo for just under an hour, putting the average song at around 8 minutes…welcome to an album where ‘epic’ is commonplace and ‘average’ is nonexistent! It is quite some time into ‘Bardo…’ before the vocal...

The last band in this assembly of underground gems is from Ukraine. Named after one of Franz Kafka’s short stories, Odradek Room have produced a debut album Bardo. Relative Reality that was released earlier this month by Hypnotic Dirge Records. Once again, I haven’t yet listened to all of it, but I’m really impressed with what I’ve heard so far, especially the extended opening track “Theatre of Forms” and the hypn...

I’ll tell you right now, my Ukranian is not so good, in fact it’s non-existent. I only tell you this as Odradek Room is a band that hails from the Ukraine, and as such I really do not know what they are singing about.
