Moirai are an international duo with embers from Switzerland and U.S.A that plays a very experimental form of medieval music and this is a review of their 2022 album "Blood Treasure, Woven Fates" which was released by Kunsthall.
Folk instruments start off the album along with some female vocals and chants a few seconds later which also gives the music more of a medieval feeling. Flutes and fiddles are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
At times the music also gets very experimental sounding while some of the songs are also instrumentals. Stringed instruments can also be heard at times along with one track also introducing spoken word parts onto the album and some of the tracks also bring in more of a middle ages atmosphere.
Morirai plays a musical style that takes medieval music and mixes it with experimental to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Old Icelandic, Nordic and German Paganism and Mythology.
In my opinion Morrai are a very great sounding 3experimental medieval music duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Voluspa I" "Gudrun" and "Atli". 8 out of 10.
