I stumbled on Piyakdu two days ago and had purchased both LPs within a day. That album art. The chirping birds. Believe all the hype and then some.

When the dragons grow too mighty
To slay with pen or sword
I grow weary of the battle
And the storm I walk toward
When all around is madness
And there's no safe port in view
I long to turn my path homeward
To stop a while with you
When life becomes as barren
And as cold as winter skies
There's a beacon in the darkness
In a distant pair of eyes
In vain to search for honor
And in vain to search for truth
But these things can still be given
Your love has shown me proof

Madrigal by Rush

Oh, just how much l like this! The sheer quality of this work is just unreal. I am just grateful I get to hear it all.

Damn! So good! Love Piyakdu

Only Baba Mithrandir is real 🗡️

Knew I'd love this the first minute in. Some really cool Kveldssanger vibes in some of these tracks. Need more Himalayan BM. This slaps!
