Huda Luknja by Snøgg

Huda Luknja is the ninth release from slovenian freeride black metal band Snøgg. Ulv and Mørke again invited their most loyal collaborators to the studio. They are Anino Üfø Leatherbee on viola and Vrag on Vocals. For the first time the band worked with Nace Sredinšek from Nacetone studios, Šoštanj who also recorded the bass guitar. The album is released by Kvlt und Kaos Productions based in Graz, Austria.

Lyrically the album touches local folklore about a gorge of Huda Luknja, which is located 10km from bands hometown of Velenje. First one, mentioned in the song “Huda”, talks about a ghost of a young girl, dressed in white, who is hitchhiking on the road that drives through the gorge. If you stop to her, you will have an accident, if you don’t, she will manifestate in your car, so you can’t escape form her.
The second song “Luknja” is based on a true story about a poet and a hermit Valentin Eremit, who lived in a cave located at the gorge bearing the same name. When he was young, his father-in-law-to-be opposed his daughters love for Valentin and tried to shoot him. But he missed and killed his daughter instead, resulting in Valentin leaving normal life of a peasant and becoming a hermit who then lived in the ruins of the old castle Vodriž and in the cave of Huda Luknja.

Snøgg is an experimental black metal band from Velenje, Slovenia formed in late 2013.
They call their music freeride black metal, as they take no boundries in discovering the vast soundscapes of black metal and other surrounding extreme and alternative genres.
''There is beauty in darkness, and Snøgg really makes that fact evident,'' says Devin Joseph Meaney
