    Exit In Grey ‎– Истерика Вечного


    Exit In Grey ‎– Истерика Вечного
    Label: Frozen Light ‎– FZL 044, Zhelezobeton ‎– ZHB-LXIV
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Remastered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 26 Aug 2016
    Style: Drone, Dark Ambient

    Radiowaves rustle, layers of ether interference whisper and an electric guitar carefully draws gentle tonal vibrations… The new album by Exit In Grey is indeed largely based on sounds of radio noises, so close to our heart. Although of course this is not a noisy work but rather oneiric, contemplative, shimmering… In two multilayered 20-min long collages we can hear the elements of nature and man-made objects, fragments of random radio interceptions and melancholic guitar parts piercing dark space with its bright emotionality.

    The material was recorded by Sergey [S] in March 2011 and mastered by Oleg Hurvatov (Interior Disposition) in 2016. Co-release with Zhelezobeton (St. Petersburg, Russia) – zhb.radionoise.ru.

    English title: «Hysterics Of The Eternal».

    Visions Of Darkness (In Iranian Contemporary Music)


    Visions Of Darkness (In Iranian Contemporary Music)
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR242CD
    Format: 2 × CD, Album, Compilation
    Country: UK
    Released: 25 Sep 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental, Noise

    The simurgh is depicted in Iranian art as a winged creature in the shape of a bird, gigantic enough to carry off an elephant or a whale. It appears as a peacock with the head of a dog and the claws of a lion, sometimes however, also with a human face. Iranian legends consider the bird so old that it had seen the destruction of the world three times over. The simurgh learned so much by living so long that it is thought to possess the knowledge of all the ages. We hope this mythological benevolent creature could be a hope and a a guide in our dark times.
