Coldstrain arose from the ashes of Karna, following the interior call flickered in the dark chasms of the minds of Horth (Karna, Goatpsalm, Sick Rites) and Asterius (Sal Solaris). Coldstrain have no parallels nor connections with Karna nor Sal Solaris, except their provenance from distinguished authors proving their abilities. Coldstrain is a fusion of sorrowful tectonics within entangled circuits of the creators' thoughtways. A long monolithic yet polymophic dedication to solitude and its innermost origins, expressed in one half-of-an-hour tapestry woven by guitar drone, noise, dark ambient and a lot of intimate reminicscenses can be nothing except a great experience. "I" is another hall we advise you to enter, but don't forget that these corridors are not built for you to walk through and around. Ltd x 300 copies in a gatefold digifile.

KARNA - 'Nekronautica: Chronicles Of Lost Souls' CD (Spectral Halls Productions)
Blackest Ambient from this Russian act. Karna is dead, and there are no doubts or vain regrets. However, as a perfect creature of Pure primordial Darkness, even after death it continues to paroxysmally emit spawns of its heritage, whose prehensile tentacles are woven deeply into the fabric of our Cosmos. "Nekronautica" is a compilation of different, shattered, sharpened splints of Karna's inanimate legacy. Unlike other compilations, "Nekronautica" doesn't sum up any terms, or provide any conclusion or essence, it is just a door to those Darkness of which was told so much, but which become fearfully real only after death, and there is no matter whose.

KARNA - 'The Haunted (Age Of Destruction)' CD (Eternal Pride Productions / Possession Productions)
"Not everyone follows the Blood Path... not everyone returns from the Coma... almost nobody comes out alive from the Industrial Zones of the Darkness... to the portal, leading to the Temple of the Dead God... whose altars are for the cultivating of Flesh... ...and the Harvest will approach for everyone...". Cold, post-industrial pulsations, freezing black ambient passages and explosive military rhythms from this Russian act. "Musical shapes mimic and hide in secret spheres, their power destroying the illusion of reality, moving the listener out of their boundaries, as it befits the true Black Art."

KARNA / VELEHENTOR - 'Era Of Cold Hearts / The Asha Blaze - 7 Minutes Later' CD (Nomos Dei)
Split album from two great Dark Ambient / Black Ambient Russian formations. Karna presents 4 ominous ambient post-industrial tracks, in the spirit of Melek-Tha and early MZ.412 experiments. Rough textures of noise, ambient viscous substrates, persuasive voice loops and barely perceptible rhythmic structures. "The Asha Blaze - 7 Minutes Later" is a half-hour dedication of the Ural act Velehentor to the major railway accident that occurred near the town of Asha in 1989. Relaxing soundscapes with a foundation or synthetic percussion and spooky atmospherics. The track draws the listener to a depth of sound soft wonder, quietly bringing it to a head in a clear, otherworldly drone. Cleverly composed and appropriately designed material is not for everyday listening. Ltd x 666 copies in a super jewelbox.

Brilliant ritual dark ambient from this cult Russian act. Resounding, enveloping sounds for rituals and meditation... corrosive mechanical echoes of human misery.
