Haze of Summer - Stuzha (2019) EN

Hipster black metal band from Russia is back! Their album Znoi from before one and half year was my 2017's number one from the heavier sounds, the new album called, Stuzha, is about to copy its success.

The band known for their pastel cover arts and absolutely catchy face of black metal adds to their music some not very metal but at the same time very Russian instruments. As apart from heavy guitars and the sea of synth sounds, you can hear accordion and balalaika, not to mention saxophone, violins or trombone. There's no doubt that the Russians continue their unique sound reached on Znoi as they confirm saying that they started to compose the new tracks right after the last album was released.

Still, they can surprise. Like with the very complex trumpet section in October (Old Mornings Dawn). Or by cooperating with Alexandrą Sidorovą, the vocalist of the band Zmey Gorynich, in September. Or with the amazing duet with the project usually coping with Witch House music called... Summer of Haze in December with the lyrics by Alexander Pushkin. And, as tradition has it, with a cameo by Brian Molko. Can you think of a crazier thing?

Stuzha costs 5 EUR.
