As a room's confining embrace, Kamra grabs and plunges you in a world of allegories, ruminations and imagery on their debut album Cerebral Alchemy. There is no shortage of uneasiness intertwined with familiarity here. You will hear nods to those who came before and left their mark, only for this five-piece to interpret their legacy in a disturbing, brutal, unnerving, beautiful, even caring way. Their music is permeated by a black metal atmosphere, with a kick of old school death metal, while the vocals leave one questioning genre theory. In this ambiguity and with anonymous band members, Kamra continues to be veiled in mystery.

Katalena trace their beginnings to a music workshop organised in summer 2001 in Črmošnjice, a village on the edge of Bela Krajina (White Carniola). Although devised as a one-off project, the workshop soon developed into a full-time band. Katalena draw inspiration from Slovenian folk music heritage but instead of seeing it merely as a resource seek to establish a dialogue with the past through music and lyrics and thus reflect on their own embeddedness in time, space and community, as well as its history and present-day reality. Katalena are one of those bands that resonate with all generations and have garnered great critical acclaim both at home and abroad.
