Naakhum is a one-man band or project
from Catalonia in Spain, currently based in Serbia. My Catalan is a bit rusty,
but I do think they support the independence of Catalonia. Naakhum's music is
described as a combination of Ambient, Ethnic Music and Metal. It frequently
touches on themes mined from “alternative history”, such as ancient aliens.
National romanticism is another strong influence, although in this case it
seems to be a Stone Age variant. “Ecofascism” strikes me as positive towards
the concept, with the Naakhum's symbol being a swastika within a recycling
symbol! This album is a solo project, but Naakhum sometimes collaborates with
similar bands, such as Senmuth from Serbia and Oblivious (I'm oblivious as to
their exact origins). This is frankly not my cup of herb tea, but in contrast
to Laibach, Naakhum doesn't seem to be ironic. If that's good or bad is perhaps
another matter entirely…
