Volkurah

about

Founded, and currently based in Ontario, Canada Volkurah was initially conceived during the spring of 2001. The concept was to create a form of minimal black metal with the intent on creating an atmosphere within the music. At first guitar riffs were toyed, but the actual recordings took place in October of that year. Writing and recoding continued into the spring of 2002, which saw the self-released CD-R demo, "The Pagan Ritual". This was made at 30 copies and mostly given out to contacts at the time, as well as sold by two distributions, one in the USA, the other in Sweden. The demo contained five songs with an Introduction as well as an Outro. The latter displayed a more ambient side of Volkurah. The response was surprisingly positive which led to a signing for an official CD release by Autistiartili Records, Québec. This was released to 500 numbered copies with new artwork. This was sold out in just under a year and distributed to various locations on the planet. In January of 2003, songs were written and recorded then released as a cassette tape to 100 copies via Oisin Productions. This was entitled, "Sorrow and Hate" which contained one new song, one Intro, a re-recorded version of, "On Frozen Lands" as well as a rehearsal track. The rest of that year was rather slow for Volkurah, but two other songs were written and recorded for an intended 7" release. These two songs were recorded on better equipment and had more time spent on developing them, whereas, "The Pagan Rit
