Istari is a cacophony of horrorpunk, blackmetal, emo, and indie rock. While the genre skipping is eclectic and sometimes abrupt, it all seems to make a strange kind of sense to the listener. The band's songs combine powerful, beautifully sung vocals atop a wall of crushing, layered guitars and frantic beats that take will you on a ride from the black metal underground, through carefully anthemic post-hardcore, to the most fragile moments of human introspection - making you wonder how you got there, but never leaving you feeling lost in between.
These are photos from concerts where Istari played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
