The first full-length album of Ukrainian band. High-quality material performed by young musicians has its roots in Draconian and Tristania representing their development in the conceptual album. The ideas of our ancestors about human fate and fragility of human being lie in the base of the album. As if untangling the ties of human destinies the musicians unfold the canvas featuring atmospheric keyboards, melodic guitars, female soprano and male growl. Another brilliant album for mournful contemplation of the approaching autumn.

The third band album conceptually based on antiutopian literature of 20th century gives a new look at Letargy Dream. Being broadened to four members the band gets across the frontiers of their style featuring female hysterical screaming and male clean two- and three-part singing. Music-wise the album represents a compilation of such genres as progressive metal and neo progressive rock, stoner and traditional doom metal. Solid and leisured distorted guitar sound, technical drum passages breaking to blastbits, acoustic guitars and atmospheric keyboards create the masterpiece called “Heliopolis”.

Tracklist:

1. Saturn
2. We’ll Die Smiling Broadly

4. Prominences

The long-awaited debut album from Ukrainian stoner doom metal band. After recording several demos and performing a number of gigs appreciated by the audience Stoned Jesus summarized all their experience in “First Communion”. Besides the influences by such masters of the genre as Sleep, Electric Wizard and Saint Vitus the band features a powerful load of psychedelic rock and old good blues rock. Groovy guitar riffs, suspension lasting until the last minute of the record and professionalism bring the band to the leaders of Ukrainian stoner scene. Guest appearance of members of The Grand Astoria, X-box Murder and Without God evidently approve this position.

Tracklist:

1. Occult
2. Red Wine
3. Black Woods
4. Falling Apart
