VIDEO: Phurpa live at Extreme Rituals

Yet another live recording of Russian Bon ritual chanter ensemble Phurpa. Missed them once in London (because of the book event that got canceled at the last moment) and once at the Extreme Rituals festival - here's a reminder for me and for every pathfinder reading this why we need to partake in more live events like this. This is shining gateway-opening darkness at its best.
