The Russian folk/doom post-rock formation Kauan have announced the release of their 9th studio album, entitled Ice Fleet. The new music effort, which follows 2017's Kaiho, will be set free on April 9th, 2021.

The band has issued the following statement on their Facebook profile: "The day has come, it's time to reveal the name, cover art and release date for Kauan's new record! The new album entitled Ice Fleet is going to be released on April 9th, 2021. The album comprises a 43 minute long opus dedicated to the terrific story from the 1930's northern shore of the USSR where a flotilla of frozen ships were suddenly found by geologists. The story is based on real letters, articles and events. The album is separated into seven narrative chapters carefully described with an included libretto.

"Together with the album, we wrote a 40 page tabletop RPG adventure to interact with the story. It will be available in print together with limited LP and CD versions of the album - more on this early next year. Happy holidays. Stay warm."
