Shataan was always an outlier in the BTC, so it wasn?t very surprising when they struck out on their own a few years ago, branching away from Crepsculo Negro and black metal altogether. Their latest, Earth, still has some remnants of that era, but is moreso a cultivation of the previously sidelined psychedelic, freak folk, and rock elements that were present in their music. For me, Shataan was one of the most exciting Black Twilight bands because these influences were lurking in the background and on Earth, where they?re finally in the limelight, they are definitely done with justice.
