Debut A Cold Dead Body’s album “Harvest Years” is a trail through 9 steps, from the "Semen" to the "Divinity". There is a story inside the album, not just music and words. Music and words create the atmosphere, but the written story has the sense of the whole album. It's a concept about a journey, about human ambition, about the conflict between humanity and nature, it's a concept based on the sense of life, technology and the meaning of death. Recorded and mixed at: Mushroom Studio, by Enrico Berto. Mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, Sunn O))), Isis, Pelican, Earth). One of the best acts around. Must have!! CD released in Cardboard (Mini LP) Sleeve pack.
With their fifth album, the Moscow-based band EndName continues the instrumental journey, further and further venturing into open space. The EVA album is saturated with atmospheric electronic arrangements designed to enrich and complement the guitar sound. Paying tribute to the past and looking into the future, a sound explorer is invited to sink into the EVA album, to be here and now, in the middle of colossal cosmos, to surrender to the powerful stream of sound, space and time.
A solid release from a remarkably variegated band from St. Petersburg whose music, being so diverse, lets you feel the influence of different genres and epochs. Prehistoric avant-garde. The attempt to combine heaviness and folkish fairytaleness ended up successfully. The guys avoided the shallowness that so often accompanies such attempts.
Ypres is a St.Petersburg band named after the Belgian locale famous for being the place of first ever effective use of chemical weaponry in a war setting. Over the last 4 years the band has released a debut self-titled full-length, followed by the EP Genus Vitiosum, showcasing a firm affinity for the legacy post metal sound. On the latest release, the Umwelt single/EP, the band displayed a strong leaning toward a spacier, country- and Americana-tinged sonic landscape with some layered rhythmic concepts while engulfed in doom and sludge metal spirit.
