Cult of Bathory
Yidhra
I'll try to put the origin of the word
Yidhra in simplest terms. It is tentacled goddess derived from HP
Lovecraft's Cthulu Mythos. It's a fine name for a band that branches out
in various strange and exquisite directions.The Cult of Bathory EP is a breath of fresh air in a dank, stoner environment littered with sabbathy retreads. Lead by a vocalist who's tone reminds me of a cross between Pepper Keenan and a lo fi Danzig, Yidhra really mix up rhythm and timing to lay down some catchy stoner doom jams. First off, I love how the drums are really layered thick in the mix so that you can clearly hear all of the fine nuiances. The songwriting is strong and the occult themes of each track are genuinely enhanced by high quality musicianship. The warm fuzzy riffs, well timed percussion and the subtle bass textures all add up to a band who are serious about their witchcraft.
