Style: dark painful misanthropic doom metal
after the dolorous demise of Sentenced, guitarist Sami Lopakka along the vocalist Erkki Seppänen who studied in St.Petersburg and famous producer Hiili Hiilesmaa had another brilliant idea to run a Russian sung and Soviet tragedy oriented doom metal project with a unique appeal, drastically opening the eyes and ears of all descendants within empire of Evil - with a certain language accent and remarkably northern vibe in sorrowful structures, it might sound and look a bit superficial at first, but it is a grower of a longplay debut, certainly offering something different, progressive and outright misanthropic, where simplistic structures create an intense brooding atmosphere; first press German digipak version comes with 1917 promotional video
