Adjagas is fronting for the devil!

Haunting Nordic Folk.

That's how a record label describes Scandinavian band Adjágas. Ever hear of them? That's good because they want to eat your soul.

Need proof? Here's the cover to their album.

I know that image was in the videotape from The Ring. If you pop this cd in your player, don't be surprised if Samara pops out of your speakers.

Still not convinced? How about this little nugget.

Combining the strange beauty of Scandinavian music with the sounds of American folk, Adjágas are exposing yoik music to an international audience. Yoik is characterized by hypnotic, repetitive chanting, and has seen little mainstream production or distribution. For their self-titled debut, Adjágas enlisted the help of Jaga Jazzist producer Andreas Mjøs, who adds subtle texture and emphasizes their hauntingly melodic voices. Critics have drawn breathless comparisons to an acoustic Sigur Rós, calling the album "a thing of rare beauty... [with] a naked intimacy that stays with the listener long after the last chord has rung out" (Music Week).

That's the PR release for the band. In case you didn't notice, that release contains the words "hauntingly", "naked", "hypnotic", and "chanting." Those are the main ingredients for demonic possession. They are also being compared to Sigur Rós. Isn't that the killer in No Country For Old Men? Don't be surprised if you go to one of their shows and the singer flips a coin and asks you to call it. Should you call "heads" or "tails"? My suggestion- run like a Kenyan on crack! Run for the emergency exit before a wormhole of eternal damnation opens up and sucks you to Hell!


If you still want to be skeptical you can listen to the album for yourself. Please let me know if you're going to listen to more than one track. I'll be sure to make arrangements for Stanley Steemer to come by your place to clean up your skull fragments and gray matter from the walls and carpet.

Enjoy!
