Duir<\/strong>, from Verona, have completely revamped their lineup once since 2013. Guitarist MK also plays in four other black metal bands. On their new album, \u201cCatarsi,\u201d Duir blend <\/strong>atmospheric black metal with folk elements, giving them a sound that\u2019s more Scandinavian than Southern European. The blend of heavy riffs and bagpipe melodies works surprisingly well, and the Italian lyrics\u2014which deal with the fate of a single soldier in World War I\u2014fit perfectly into the overall picture. Find out more in our July\/August issue! <\/p>\n\n
