As my first post on this glorious haven of music elitism, I shall introduce IgnimDigs. IgnimDigs is a feature than does not really count as a feature because it's basically an excuse for me to post any song, band, or album that I happen to be digging at a whim.

The first IgnimDig is an album called Signals From the Void by a little-known band called Huldra. Digging through Bandcamp pages certainly can be tedious, and you will without a doubt find a ton of abysmal music, but every now and then you make a find that really sticks out and Huldra is one of those finds. At this point (this is their debut album), they are basically a carbon copy of Isis with the pleasant flourish of some extremely pretty added piano accompaniments. It's post-metal (I'm a major sucker for the genre), and it comes with all of the genre's tenets: shimmering leads, massive builds, monstrous climaxes, ambient interludes, beautiful atmospheres, and the like. Huldra also manages to pull off this formula better than 95% of similar bands, and for this reason (and the fact that they've posted the album for free on their Bandcamp) I highly recommend Signals From the Void to both fans of the genre and those looking to explore it for the first time. Enjoy, and welcome to the blog.
