COLDSTRAIN - 'I' CD (Spectral Halls Productions)
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.

MAJDANEK WALTZ & SAL SOLARIS - 'Tenebrae' CD (Zhelezobeton / Shadowplay Release)
A collaboration album by two prominent Russian post-industrial projects. The conceptual core of the record is the poetry of Paul Celan, one of the major German-language poets of the post-World War II era. His cryptic fractured lyrics spoken in a specific estranged way by Pavel Blumkin is enchased by a weird fusion of avant-garde neoclassic and dark ambient music. Decadent sounds of violin, cello, clarinet, piano and bayan from Majdanek Waltz blend with shimmering electronic drones and uneasy soundscapes of Sal Solaris in paradoxical unity making your heart throb painfully. The last track features the haunting voice of Rada Anchevskaya (Rada & Ternovnik). The depth of this dream lures and makes you return and experience it again and again.
This compilation features the most outstanding artists from the Russian Experimental-Electronic Scene. The music shows you the typical Russian mood and understanding of sounds in a very spectacular and ritual way. Features: Bardoseneticcube, Hum, Linija Mass, Lucisferrato, Lunar Abyss Quartet, Reutoff, Sal Solaris and Stalnoy Pakt. Ltd x 500 hand-numbered copies!
