DIES IRAE / SHANNONDOA'S TRAUM

This weird, proggy doom krautrock collective only released two singles in their entire career but believe me this cult, long time lost musical artefact is pretty great. Shanandoa delivers a mysterious, gothic-like fuzzy spaced out trip, including plaintive funeral chorals, narratives and psych-rockin' guitars in a really good vibe. I reveals the dark side of krautrock with reminiscence to garage, ritualistic dark voyages from Sand, Paternoster, Vinegar...Shannondoa is a suprisingly trip out mix of lugubrious fuzzy-kraut pieces, ultimately haunting and definitely recommened to all kraut-heads. I would like to hear more from them but apparently the band have passed from life to death too rapidly.
