O Saala Sakraal are a band from Sweden that plays an improv and percussion orientated form of experimental music and this is a review of their 2018 album "Etmaal" which will be released on December 21st by Cyclic Law.
Atmospheric sounding drones start off the album while a couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with some ambient style synths also being utilized at times as well as the music also having its avant garde moments and all of the music is done in an instrumental direction.
At times the music gets very experimental along with the use of 5 different percussion players which also gives the songs more of an improved ritualistic and tribal atmosphere along with some chants also being added into certain sections of the recording as well as a brief use of power electronics and industrial elements and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly on the closing track.
O Saala Sakraal plays a musical style that takes experimental, ambient, improv and percussion music and mixes them together to create a sound of their own and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion O Saala Sakraal are a very great sounding improv and percussion orientated experimental band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Lilit". 8 out of 10.
