About Dordeduh
To start understanding the essence of the band is to first delineate the two Romanian words that its name is composed of: “dor” and “duh”. Having a deep, unique meaning in Romanian, “dor” is thought to be untranslatable in any other language using only one word, its sense being of “longing/yearning for something”, “missing something”. It can be something palpable, well-known and familiar (a place, a person, a taste) but it can also be a nostalgic feeling brought up by something vaguely known, dwelling in an old chamber of one’s soul. It is this vague and everlasting longing of the human being that this word is most associated with. It can be a personal life experience or a vague remembrance of the primordial and archetypal state of the human psyche, the origin of the human soul, as “dor” reminds of the human ability to sense the ethereal sphere.
The word “duh” could be translated as “spirit” and it defines the immaterial part or state of every living being. It also represents an attribute for all types of supernatural beings, forces, events and often can describe a ghost’s or a phantom’s immaterial form. The word’s etymological roots are related with the air as an element and it suggests an aerie vibration; it characterizes lightness and insubstantiality, an impalpable or intangible state. It also suggests the subtle and spiritual part of every living consciousness and it can be taken as a synonym of the esoteric word of “consciousness”.

I don't care much about the Dordeduh VS Negura-stuff, but if you'd ask me individually which one is better... Older Negura is just as good as Dordeduh, as OM is impeccable, just like Maiastru Sfetnic/Maiestrit and N'Crugu Bradului.. The post-Sol Faur/Hupogrammos material however.. Only Virstele had some good moments(Dacia Hiperboreana), but the rest of it is pretty soul-less... At least Dordeduh remain with their essence.

Valea Omului was pretty boring. Didn't they say they'd release their full-length in November (2011)? I'm hopeful, but I don't understand why people are hating on Negura and Vîrstele Pămîntului. It took a while to sink in, but I think it was a great album.

Tabucky, I know it's a silly statement, I even said so myself. But think about it this way: music like this coming from some guys no-one's ever heard of: absolutely mindblowing. Music like this coming from Hupogrammos, Sol Faur & friends: pretty much what you'd expect. I don't know if it makes any more sense from that perspective, but that's how I see it. And no, I'm not Negru :D

Differer, what's wrong with the members of Dordeduh? What a silly statement. If anything, you should be referring to the current incarnation of Negura Bunget

Now that I've seen them live a couple of weeks ago on Aurora Infernalis, I am even more stoked about a full length.

As of right now, I'm using this band as a real-life example of and proof for the notion "context is everything". Why? Because to me, the music started to seem significantly less impressive after I learned who these guys are. Ridiculous but true, I'm afraid. This of course doesn't mean I now think the music is bad, far from it.

After Brutal Assault they wrote: "About the album...it should come soon, but we are still working at some details, and now since we have to prepare the show for Alba Iulia, also with Sunset in the 12th House...it may be prolonged. We held you all waiting for quite a while. We hope that the result would just compensate for the long wait. Să fie într-un ceas bun!"

Any recent news on the full-length? If I remember correctly they announced an October release date months ago, but I haven't seen anything since them. (Today is October first)
