Gyibaaw were a death/black metal band from Prince George, British Columba, Canada; active from 2006-2012. Their name translates to "wolf" in S'malygax, and the band incorporates their Tsimshian heritage into their lyrics and aesthetic. The band considers their style "Tsimshian/Gitskan War Metal", a fitting name as this album is a fury of savage black/death that will have you ready to whoops some colonizers ass. The band also incorporates indigenous flutes into their songs and the album ends with an instrumental ritual. It's a shame Gyibaaw was not active longer because this album is a milestone not only in indigenous metal but war metal as well.
