Two new releases from
ZHELEZOBETON:
EXIT IN GREY "Hysterics of the Eternal" CD
https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com/album/hysterics-of-the-eternalRadiowaves 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 in March 2011 and mastered by
Oleg Hurvatov (Interior Disposition) in 2016. The disc is released in cooperation with the
Frozen Light label in an edition of 300 numbered copies in a standard jewel-case with an 8-page booklet. Digital version is available at bandcamp.
SIYANIE "Mystery of Life" CD
https://zhbd.bandcamp.com/album/mystery-of-lifeThe third full-length album by the project of
Sergey Ilchuk (ex-
Vresnit, ex-
Vetvei) and
Dmitriy Shilov (
Neznamo, Peal Grim, Magickal Things) has gathered materials recorded at three live gigs in 2012-2013 and completed in the studio in 2012-2015.
This album is for lovers of live textured ambient. Almost 80 minutes of powerful yet tender sound submerging the listener into bright dreaming and at the same time awakening crystal clarity within. An experience of the mystery of life expressed in artistic form. The call, the revelation, the transformation, living through your own self. These canvases are woven from a manifold of acoustic and electronic threads: droning and vibrating guitars, flutes, voices, a sitar, electronic sequences, field recordings and found sounds - all this is interlaced into multidimensional structures, the depths of which can be endlessly explored with every new listening.
The CD is packed in a matte 6-panel digisleeve with artwork by
Sergey Ilchuk. Sound mastering performed by
Sergey Bulychov (
Kshatriy). The edition is limited to 300 copies. Digital copy can be purchased at bandcamp.
Special collector edition - 24 copies in envelopes with 17 cards of A5 size printed on silver cardboard featuring reproductions of
Sergey Ilchuk's artwork made in 2012-2016 - available for ordering directly from the author by e-mail:
