Et factum est vespere et mane
We had the idea of shooting one bullet with all troops of the label quite for a long time, but not of loading our weapons with the ‘best of” tracks or tracks that are to appear on the new albums of the bands. We suggested that the bands we cooperate/were going to cooperate in future record one song exclusively for this compilation, so that our first harvest comprises of previously unreleased and not-to-be-released-somewhere-else tracks.
On the one hand, the bands experiment with sound or embody some unrealized visions and on the other, we look at them closely, as often one short song speaks louder than a full-length album. And this approach on compilation absolutely justified itself as we refused further cooperation with the bands doubts and suspicions about which turned out to be reasoned. You ask why? We answer, musical absurd brightly labeled as progressive, modern, neo and so on is absolutely alien to us. We do not share the decadent opinions of our ex. Amat victoria curam.
Two friendly bands joined this compilation instead of several rejected tracks. They are not from the label but fit perfectly, both musically and ideologically.

01/ KARNA - 01-01-95
The project from the South of Russia history of which counts about 10 years and 11 releases. They never rehearse and don’t have a permanent line-up, they unite their efforts only to record new albums and to unleash the visions of bare darkness and chaos. Having the brutal industrial style as the basis, KARNA do not keep to any strict frames and constantly experiment with their sound and palettes of dark ambience and guitars.

02/ DEATHTRAP - Nova
NOVA KILL NOVA
|
03/ SECT - Novus Ordo Seclorum
A new birth is a new Death as Death is mightier, as Death is what shall overtake mankind. It is what shall devour with flame the vain Creation, invented by people only to justify their pitiable aims. May sulphur rain down from Heaven and NONBEING will be the cradle of ashes of human race. Amen.
The new annihilation was anti-created by SECT: D. - guitars/bass/vocals; W. - guitars/bass; T. - drums; P. - vocals/proclamations.
The new force arose and fell into the abyss. Amen.

04/ SOLI DIABOLI GLORIA - Beyond Life
The renewed image of the Karelian duo that started their way nearly 4 years ago. It’s early to speak about originality but late about copying. The band gets stronger and wiser and its nihilistic path becomes clearer. The reflection of the horror of existence and unavoidable end of the way which is fragile when being crushed with fallen dogmas and stereotypes. It’s all simple… Destroy everything…
f.- vocals;
k. – guitar, bass, drums.
|
05/ KLANDESTYN - Abomination
The new stronghold of the traditional Black Metal of the 90-ies. Severe brutal style charged with real physical pain and declaring the triumph of genocide, annihilation, holy war and total eradication of human being as species. Sociopaths, misanthropes and their new ode which is followed by the ruthless debut attack! And a great many of attacks that will change the planet Earth for the better. For sure.
The band was formed in Vladimir in ’06, the line-up: Natten – vocal, Heristahk – guitar/bass, K.S. – drums.
|
06/ POGOST – HumanSheep
The new composition recorded for this compilation brings nothing new and progressive. Vice versa, regressive and pragmatic approach makes the aim an easy reach. Again and again at the gun-point are the despicable sheep in human skin. The traditional and definite approach of POGOST is permanent: profane lyrics and old school Black/Death Metal.
POGOST was formed in the Urals in ’02, the line-up: Sarmat (bass/vocal), Askold (guitar) and Apostol (drums). The band has a split and a full-length album, and soon they are planning another split.
|
07/ PENTSIGN – Fear of Being Free
Recently formed band turned out to be one of the most solid and the only brutal Death/Black Metal band from Murmansk division. The band belongs to savage and heavy style and crushes everything on the way of this Ancient Evil unleashed from the secret citadels of Chaos. Darkness marches!
After the debut album the band is ready to attack the scene with the new opus in their fast and brutal style.
Zleh - vocal
Rom - guitar
Naitsirhc - guitar
Adol - drums

08/ LIHOLESIE – From the Very Depths…
The project from Siberia, with four full-length albums and concerts programs, attention of the underground and its own activity. Starting from direct and atmospheric ambient folk with simple tunes, the project has transformed into a more complicated one, where folk traditions are still heard. It’s time to go forth, to break the past skylines. The influences of European traditions, industrial and ritual music painted in the canvases of LIHOLESIE, filled the atmosphere of endless wanderings and quests. Each halt and idea is another canvas. The quest continues…
All instruments, music and sound engineering - Sever

09/ KOSCHUNI – The power of 9 words
Our brothers from St. Petersburg. The band exists for a long time but is more known for its powerful shows than recorded albums. This is a real storm! The hurricane of music and words merging into loud hymns, mesmerasing and destructive. To start anew… Once again… Some time..
|
10/ METI BHUVAH – Without god
Karelian wetlands, impassable, black, unsteady and fatal swamps… Lots of pious beings and pure souls passed away there only because they were too dumb and primitive. The traps placed here and there. Simple and primitive tools of capture and torture. The gulf of oblivion… Dirt. Before death you’ll get fed with it for sure. The black slush of Karelian bogs.
|
11/ STIELAS STORHETT - SKD I
Solitude and aloofness… The paths of mighty forests lead to the secluded nooks where the triumphant glance meets fatality and inevitable death… The triumph of doom, dying breath and coldness… You are to start a captivating journey to those places soon… Get ready.
|
12/ SICK ROOM 7 - Vicky Got Spooked
Sickening hallucinations of Sick Room 7 are suddenly dissolved in the morning dusk of Kingdom of Denmark. Fresh breeze scatters the clouds only for a moment and a beautiful tune sounds… Only a short prelude before a dark curtain of hypocrisy and lies… Mankind, it has a proud sound but tastes rotten. Infection – hail intolerance but not this time. Enjoy. Worms.
|
13/ MOR – Season of Rains
The continuation of cooperation with Damien T.G. (guitars) started on the split album DEATH COMES FROM THE NORTH with invaluable support of War-M (guitars) and Trapped (drums). The song from that period. Wanderings in the autumn dusk and eternal quest for it… Rise and Fall…

Consummatum est.
The work is accomplished and we are pleased. Let it be not the best compilation on the Earth, not the most conceptual one, but the part of the way is behind and now we can draw the bloody line. Troubled were these years, and troubled was the first harvesting. Nevertheless we reap the crop and we hail it!
About the ideas and concepts… No ideas and concepts as many of you could expect. This is a destructive musical compilation of those bands close to us (nearly all of them are still close) by their views and approach. We do not make a party or church out of label, but a certain attitude towards life and the darkest approach to music is what unites us. That is why we’ve been together all these years and we’ve beaten mankind deservedly.
Many things have changed during this time, as the time has changed itself. The battle goes on and soon it will represent to us its new and old heroes!
