As with all things, metal is done differently in Soviet Russia. While Kypck formed in 2008, well after the fall of Communism, the members are old enough to have lived during the years of the U.S.S.R. Their music seems driven by the forlorn search for personal and national identity faced by many Russians in the '90s, and perhaps this explains why Kypck is a doom metal band (or, as they call it, "Fast Russian Doomsday Metal"). It isn't fast at all, but the other three parts are correct, and the dark, droning chords full of suppressed rage certainly paint a picture to match the album artwork. What we have here seems to be Russia's post-traumatic stress disorder manifesting itself in musical form, and it sounds like the dying voices of a million massacred Red Soldiers have provided the inspiration.

This is some absolutely phenomenal, crushing doom metal!!!

When I listen to this, I picture myself trudging through a snowstorm, scaling a craggy mountain range. Every once in a while, I reach the crest of icy rock; I look upon the cloud-shrouded world below and relish the feeling of immensity as the soundwaves roll across the ridge....

On second thought, this sounds like how it would feel to stand on the surface of a star as it gets torn apart by a black hole

This is indeed a great album. I saw them live back in the 2009 when this was still relatively new, I remember the guitarist having a customized guitar made from frigging AK-47.

Love the sinister vibes in this song, there's something throughout that sounds simply wrong in the best sense of the word. Probably the highlight of the album for me

Whenever I write something funny, weird, or pretentious... I learned English by playing Baldur's Gate, okay?
