A fucking brilliant band (and I'm not just saying that).
They come from Kyrgyzstan, a mostly Muslim country in Central Asia, and have been around for around 8 years now.
It's taken a bit of time for them to develop and mature but since their third release "Sary Oy" they have done just that, and excelled every release since, now becoming a unique band in their own right.
The music is mid-paced to fast Black Metal, with female vocals (and she's fucking great at it too, not to mention writes most of the lyrics), using non-Western scales and occasional cellos, indigenous instruments and subtle keys.
Ideologically, they are somewhat anti-semitic, but only lightly so. They are not necessarily a political band, but this does not deter from their extremity. Predominantly, their music is centered around the Pagan culture of their roots via lyrics, scales, instruments and artworks used.
Unlike many bands, Darkestrah's line-up has remained stable in their career, which imo benefits greatly towards musical maturation - it definitely shows.
Like Drudkh do to some extents, Darkestrah have a dry, almost arid sense to their music (this reflect their geographical origins strongly imo), with occasional warmth and beautiful texture throughout their execution.
Like Drudkh and Negura Bunget, I find Darkestrah is a great example of "ethnic" Black Metal of a non-Norsk origin (which I personally feel is the future anyway), their culture comes through their art with subtlety, yet perfectly.
Very underrated, but VERY highly recommended. I will upload a song from the previous album "Embrace of Memory" (an amazing album) shortly.
Official site.
For those of you who like what I upload soon, support this band and buy their albums! They deserve MUCH more recognition than they currently have.
EDIT:
This is the second song from the previous album Embrace of Memory. While this song doesn't deviate too much from the standard Black Metal characteristics, it is nevertheless outstanding. Other songs and works by the band show more of their subtle musical cultural influences.
Darkestrah: Black Cathedral. Enjoy - it will be only available for a few days!

With Wolfnacht? Heidentum is their best, but it doesn't sound like Abrusrd, as it's pure raw (but very good) bm. In terms of their two Absurd clone albums, Töten für W.O.T.A.N. is superior ot Night of the Werewolf.

Anytime... I want people to know how much this band kicks serious ass 
The new album Epos is stunning, I'm still hammering it (review will be written for Metal Archives soon).

Hmmm, how mysterious. I am "cookiecutter" and I've written a few crappy reviews for records you probably wouldn't like

I really should spend more time at Metal Archives ie the forum, but I dont. I use the site as a reference, but for some reason I feel good about writing reviews for the place.

I'm Spawnhorde on M-A and some of you may have seen my reviews. They range from horrible to great.
Anyway yeah Epos rocks.

^ That it does. It's a much more layered and intricate release than anything they have done so far. Quite a directional change, but also a massive step in maturity. Darkestrah is developing into a very prominent band imo.

Yes, good call. Facta Loquuntur is one of the most spirited, genuine albums I've come across. Absolutely no silly attempts at appearing "true" or "grim"; the music speaks for itself. As Life Sucks said, it's quite amateurish and very sloppy, but it all adds to the atmosphere. Without a doubt, the best NSBM I've heard.
