Vallendusk is a black metal band from Indonesia, founded in 2011. The band cites the mid '90s wave of black metal, melodic death metal and doom as their major source of inspirations, both musically and aesthetically. Nevertheless they also draw influences from classical, ambient, martial hymns, and folk music of all sorts. With their fourth album 'Heralds Of Strife', Vallendusk created a triumphant and uplifting album that is more optimistic in approach and delivery than an average black metal release.
