'Stepson of the Forest' is the first single from the upcoming album 'Black Pine Needles' by Irga

The composition is the black soul of an unloved son, whom even Leshi shuns. The black stranger of the gray pack, whose howl makes everything around freeze. Fierce black metal of animal heartlessness and hunger. An atmosphere of horror stories that frighten the shivers and are passed down from generation to generation. The legend of Yavula must be told... and it will be told! -

The Black Forest knows about pain, the Black Forest feeds on fear and anger, the Black Forest gives strength to those who suffer, but always takes something in return. And the Black Forest sheltered Yavul, who hid in its shadow after the destruction of his native village. Years passed, and the boy’s appearance was no longer human, his teeth learned to gnaw carrion, his feet became rough, and his fathers’ tongue was replaced by a growl. But this exhausted half-wolf remembered the anger, and remembered the one who made him like this.
On June 21, Irga's album "Black Pine Needles" will be released on the Swanrenne Music. Four-lane digipacks with glossy lamination and a 16-page booklet, which will illustrate the legend of Magoway in vivid design, are already waiting for their owners.
