<p>I just discovered Iskandr&#39;s latest single, which consists of the three last singles to be released from their coming album, <em><a href="https://iskandr.bandcamp.com/album/sacraal">Sacraal</a></em>. The band are on <a href="https://store.eisenton.de/en/search?query=ISKANDR">Eisenwald</a>, a weird and wondrous record label.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.qobuz.com/se-en/interpreter/iskandr/1346020">Qobuz</a> calls the single &#39;alternative &amp; indie&#39;. <a href="https://record.club/releases/albums/iskandr-sacraal">Record Club</a> call them a black-metal band. The second song on the latest single off the album combines old-school acoustic instruments with reverbed-the-hell-out vocals, goth elements, gloom shit, and...techno?</p>

<p>That&#39;s it. The single is <em>great</em>. I&#39;m buying <em>Sacraal</em>.</p>
