The second full-length album from Kshatriy (aka Sergey Bulychyov from Vsevolozhsk, Russia) is an imprint of direct experience of the Universe. The album is dedicated to the end of Kali-Yuga - the age of technocratic lack of spirituality and moral decay - and to the attainment of human awareness of the Unity. Eight hasteless compositions of psychedelic drone ambient combine a light atmosphere with deep layers, crystal clear sound transparency with mild and sometimes uneasy melodies. Soft organic tracks full of plangent drones, noises and natural recordings neighbor with dense and saturated hymns to Hindu goddess Kali. The disk is closed by a beautiful lyrical composition reminding us that the best way to overcome ignorance and realize unity is Love. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak.
NOISES OF RUSSIA - 'Humility' 2 x CD Enhanced (Zhelezobeton)
Under the cover of the 3rd studio album of Noises Of Russia - a project which has chosen Tanatos to be their perpetual muse - there are two post-modern mysteries at once, two doors to the viscous and twilight space over-saturated with the symbols of death of various traditions. The final countdown turns into a long immersion in a cold cerebral-sonic abyss where it's impossible to find out for sure if you are calmed or frightened, comforted or sneered at... if they mourn for you, a mortal, or are they glad for you, an immortal. The album also contains a ritual video for the track "Spirit", not however making the issue more clear. Ltd x 500 copies in a very nice gatefold digisleeve.
SCHLOSS TEGAL - 'The Myth Of Meat' CD (Tegal Records)
Reissue of the 2006 Schloss Tegal album, originally issued on Waystyx, Russia.

This is Schloss Tegal's testament to the "Meat Generation" and the long war to come. Songs of torture for the new century. Ltd x 1000.
