Insane black metal from the wilds of Russia. Unlike the vast majority of Eastern European BM, this is bestial, ritualistic BM in the vein of VON and Havohej, rather than Burzum-indebted or folk-influenced. The production is a bass-heavy chthonic rumble, but everything is fairly audible. The vocals are heavily VON-influenced, but the liberal amounts of reverb make them sound even more inhuman. Programmed drums don't sound overly artificial, and keep a steady hypnotic grind (these short songs feel much longer than they are). This came out in 2004 in an appropriately obscurist edition of 66 copies, so I hope they don't mind me making it more widely available.
