VELEHENTOR - 'Dyatlov Pass' 3 x CD (Infinite Fog Productions)
Originally released in 2003 by Fight Muzik. This reissued album is available for the first time in the full 3CD version. A true monument and a masterpiece of ritual-shamanic drone ambient music. The album is devoted to the mysterious death of nine professional hikers on the Holat-Sjahl slope (Mansi for "Mountain of dead") on 1st February 1959. Investigations into the deaths suggest that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow; while the corpses show no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue. According to sources, the victims' clothing contained high levels of radiation, but no one from group worked with radioactive objects. Soviet investigators determined only that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths. Velehentor will take you on a sonic journey through the infinite, dangerous and remote Snow-covered Northern Ural Mountains. The 2nd disc is a collaboration with Ad Lux Tenebrae. Ltd x 493 copies in 6-panel digipak.
