Paganshikoff: NORD'N'COMMANDER "Maps Of The Shadow' Travelling / Karty Puteshestvija Teni" [2003/2008] Heathen Harvest, August 01 2009 Two men compose Nord’n’commander, a mysterious band from Russia formed in 2001 and which has released six albums previously. They play a strange mix of pagan folk structurally constructed over a rather strange set of electro sequences and synthetic formations, this particular aspect gives to their sound a rather indefinable character where some hectic and often cryptic mix of styles converge. Their lyrics and compositional ideas are a blend of Pagan folk and philosophical wanderings on multiple levels, the tracks present a vigorous accent that often results emblematically martial and patriotic, contrasting with mystic perspectives that ranges from very emotive and almost happy pieces to more transcendental positions. One of the members has had an extensive journey in the Black metal-Experimental scene from Russia, that is: Mr Vadim Proskuryakov at charge of all the compositions from Nord’n’commander, he has been active as early as 1998 in a band named Death Triumphant, which curiously was typically intoxicated of the particular nihilism and misanthropy proceeding from this genre. The other member Alexander Ishutin is at charge of the vocal section and lyrics. Previously to the creation of this project the members incarnated a project called Wantit, a Techno-Gothic outfit that released two demos where many ideas and concepts were consolidated for the later formation. As a bonus the CD comes with a video showing the two members wandering through very desolated and wasted suburbs, additionally for all those non Russian speakers the lyrics are included both in Russian and English, a distinction that allows additional comprehension on their ideological context. It is clear that Nord’n’commander presents a romantic character in their conceptual procedure and at least on some part of their compositional structures. They present a musical miscegenation that ranges from folk passages to neoclassical arrangements to typical darkwave subterfuges consolidating a singular and very rare cocktail of influences that finally defies categorization with its form. The instrumental set used is rather simple, keyboards being the main element accompanied by an electric guitar; additionally there comes the vocals which are rather bleak in their display. As result from the exclusivity given to the keyboard as main instrumental formation, the tracks present a very synthetic feel into it that may be tagged as electro sound in some way. Lyrics are evidently philosophic, well conceived and playing with metaphors. Tracks like “Центр Креста” which means “Centre of cross” reveals for example the spiritual desire for truth and understanding of the principles from nature, the finding of elements and the notions of empirical paganism. While “Нарцисс” or “Narcissus” is about a reflection of the presence of beauty as an external manifestation from our own, a psychological perspective and romantic plot at the same time as you see. “Из Лифта” or “Elevator” comes as a clear philosophical formula that remits to the Platonic myth of the cavern, only with a modern twist and very particular perspective on it. So we have in here a very versatile and intelligent set of lyrics with a level of profundity and poetic spirit, more likely absent from ideologies or dogmas that will certainly attract the listener’s curiosity. The purely based keyboard command has a flaw and that is it’s over synthetic texture given to the work, this comes as a special downer when they try to bring the inflexions from neoclassical music to the tracks. This flat and bleak synthetic sound appears as result evidenced in an inert set of sequences that try to reproduce the beauty that only real instruments could bring, same happens with some bass lines at times. Their vocals are not really studied but they bring some passion and handle well the musical variants and the rhythms. The general sound of the album is full of feeling, charged with some electric passion filled with inspiration and naturalness that guarantees its fresh appeal. They present a very modern romantic aesthetic, with longing for valuable ideals and musical styles and they fight with all the mediums at their disposition to acquire this goal and that is definitively admirable and really gives their music an original touch through their musical syncretism created. Their knowledge in philosophy and folk tradition certainly favours them as well as their songs maintain this spirit giving solidity to the work. Finally, although the implementation of keyboard gives an odd sonority to the work it does instils distance from the common norm from typical folk or neo-folk rigidity, giving to it a rather post modern perspective in a way and a lot to meditate about such inclusion. Nice effort I must say, I am sure they will improve their qualities and will bring future inspirations to implement within their very particular musical syncretism.

Paganshikoff: http://www.heathenharvest.com/article.php?story=2009092921174163 NordnCommander - Akkortheon Thursday, October 01 2009 @ 02:00 AM PDT Contributed by: Jack The Ripper When you see two ruskys inside a regular house room, one of them with his face covered in corpse paint, grabbing a microphone with his eyes popping out of his head while the other holds an accordion with his face hidden behind a veil of hair, and besides they call theirselves purposely “Quasi Funeral Doom” music you’ll may eventually think the pic doesn’t fit quite well. So it’s time to explore a bit what this is all about. Previously reviewed here at Heathen Harvest these Russian duo made by Vadim Proskuryakov and Alexander Ishutin now presents some kind of Folk adaptation into a Doom structure, only that the “metal” additive lacks its form as there is no guitar, bass or drum set, it is as if the author were dedicated to extract just the very essence and then to emancipate through an accordion, combining the characteristic deadly dirge from Doom with the melancholic accent of the instrument. As usual for Nord’n’commander, they result intrepid and vanguards in their conceptions and generally results atypical in their creativity. Limited to 500 copies this is an album that deserves some attention from the Neo-folkers with an open view on experimentation. “Akkortheon” it’s a sort of tribute album for this instrument, where accordion logically comes as the most representative play figure and completely engulfs the album atmosphere. In a way this could be called medieval electronica as the music presents this folkloric tone and rhythm that gets obliterated by the gloomy and melancholic melodies generally associated with Doom. As an almighty figure, the accordion delivers all the riffs, dirges and arpeggios in an elegant cadence, taking the role from guitars and basses at in his own disposition. This is a character that probably represents the ace and the curse from this album as its sui-generis appearance may lead some people off but undoubtedly represents an intention to fuse the folk aesthetic with the modern turn from this metal subgenre. Anchored in this minimalist approach just a few additional elements finish up the album structure. A demented vocal set, harsh and rutilant, full of despair and darkness and probably proceeded by a Black Metal past that gets violently contrasted with the accordion harmonies and brings a obfuscating sensation all over the tracks. Additionally we have a programmed drum set an aspect that I continue to detest from Nord’n’commander as it certainly takes off a lot of its power and vitalism out, replacing it with this soulless mechanized drum programming and finally there is a keyboard based chorus and that’s all about the instrumentation. The album presents two phases, the first one is the more folkloric-doom focused one, which constitutes the very core from the album and additionally there is eight bonus tracks that steps into a whole different territory. The first part, presents this obscure atmosphere and somber notation, marked by a slow tempo and dense transition, a syncretism from folk passages and metal arrangements for the accordion and a well conceived finale presented with the amazing choral sacrality, overly mystic and transcendental. While the second half catapults everything into a bunch of tributes executed to the most diverse bands. It sounds as a total different world and comes as an aural shock for the listener. Transiting from happy edulcorated pop structures (Walking Alone, My Secret Garden, Paris) with even a colourful remake from Death “Crystal Mountain” to electronically redesigned version on Burzum and My Dying Bride presents a section that results irremediably chaotic and unstable in comparison with the first half, as it comes as a totally different scenario that doesn’t match the logic from the previous experimentation and direction from the album. Nord’n’commander establishes as a band that steps in uncharted territory, experimenting with variations and instrumental diversifications that definitively grants them an original touch. Folk and Doom joined by electronica and Black metal vocals results an interesting mix but their saccharine formula as a tribute for pop music results more humorous than entertaining.
