Arbulubra are a Swiss avant-garde black metal collective whose discography — spanning "MMXIX," "II," "III," "Of Blackness and Calm," and "Overgrown" — moves fluidly between blistering raw black metal and striking atmospheric passages incorporating banjo, mandolin, and synthesizer. Released through Anthrazit Records and affiliated with the Unda Obskura project, the band stands among the most adventurous acts in the Swiss underground.
