Pereplut ist eine achtköpfige Pagan Metal-Band aus Russland, die ihre Musik mit Instrumenten wie Drehleier, Harfe, Blockflöte, Tin Whistle, Violine und Cello ergänzen.
Adorned in cartoonish imagery and with a photo that makes the band look like they wish to eke out their existence in the heart of a medieval forest, Pereplut are a Pagan metal band hailing from Russia. An eight-piece band, the core metal instruments are augmented with hurdy-gurdy, harp, block flute, tin whistle, violin and cello, which makes for a compellingly organic listen free from the synth backdrop that can plague such releases. With lyrics and even song titles in the band’s native tongue, the release can appear impenetrable to Western eyes at first glance, but move beyond that and allow the music to wash over you and you’ll find a dark, detailed folk metal album that easily competes (and often outdistances) its Western equivalents.
