One of the best records of russian black metal. I've always loved Rye's approach into fusing nordic folk into some of the heaviest black metal you could hear, making an absolute behemoth of a record. This will definitely go down as one of the best metal records of this new year even though it's only been 2 days. I highly recommend you guys to check it out and see if I am exaggerating or not because this is some of the best music you will ever hear.

Never heard of this band before but I've been liking some atmospheric black metal stuff from Russian bands lately so I was a bit excited. Unfortunately this turns into a bit of a chore after awhile. I too hear some nordic folk moments which are nice but I'm not a fan of blast beats in faster parts which stand out too much. They're not the worst I've heard but still a slight turnoff. Overall still pretty good album. Навсегда was probably the best song in my opinion.

It's not a bad one man project this. It's unique in the sense that some parts deliver a soft ambience with fabulous build ups, whilst other parts are crushingly heavy, the soft echoing vocals are very pleasant to hear aswel. Very intriguing I have say, even if it requires your absolute full attention.

[Edit]: It is a grower

A very unexpected beautiful album. Best of the year so far.

Edit: Upon more listens, this is really good for a one-man black metal project, great vocals, great ambience, great faster parts. A magnificent start to the year.

What a joy it was listening to Навсегда (Forevermore) and Аминь (Amen)! 2nd and 3rd tracks were also amazing!

Crescendocore. Love the bombastic payoff to these buildups but you can telegraph these structures from the opening minutes of silence/ambience prefacing each song, like predicting the end of a murder mystery within the first act of the movie.

Beautiful till the end
