Estonian Heavy / Folk metal incorporating traditional instruments (flutes, bagpipes and kantele).
CURSE UPON IRON is undoubtedly one of the better known works in Estonian choral music. Already in its original form, it contains all the primary characteristics of this particular project: shamanic chants, rhymes borrowed from Kalevala, the primeval power of runo-singing. To this we add some increasingly popular ethno-rock and the 54 trained voices of the only full-time professional male choir in the world. The works of the world-renowned composer emeritus Veljo Tormis and those of Metsatöll are manipulated without prejudice by Tauno Aints, whose background is revealed by the names of his bands - Speculative Rokenroll Band and Genialistid. However, the young man also has a cum laude in the field of composition, so both sides of the music are treated equally and are fused into a whole. Metsatöll becomes grand choral music, Veljo Tormis turns into rock. One summer night in 2006, history was made in Estonia, and with this disc you can enjoy it all again.
