Velehentor however, deserves a separate theme, this Ural collective, possible to name one of the most interesting post-industrial collectives of Russia. Since the basis in 1998, by mastermind and the unique constant participant, 121 (CLOSING THE ETERNITY; VALHALLA), they have let out 11 albums. VELEHENTOR never had accurate stylistic frameworks, it Dark Ambient; Industrial; Harsh Noise; Power Electronics; Ritual; Drone Ambient; each album is unique and distinct from another, but VELEHENTOR, is always recognised, on unique sound and absolutely and precisely verified concept. Sounding gets out according to a theme of albums. Each album VELEHENTOR is devoted any defined, to event, a place or the phenomenon, with an ominous shade, poisonings with the Siberian ulcer; nuclear bombardments; terrorism; dead cities in zones of ecological disasters; cases of poisonings of one people by others; war; the cities-phantoms left by people; mass suicides and inexplicable, mysterious cases destruction of people - as on albums 'Dyatlov Pass' which we pride represent!

Now, the album is available for the first time in the full version, on 3CD:

CD 1 - Dyatlov Pass
CD 2 - Man-Pupy-Njer (Velehentor/Ad Lux Tenebrae)
CD 3 - Otorten

It's released in beautiful 6 panel digipak, limited to 493 copies only!

"Dyatlov Pass" has been recorded in 2002, it scale record consisting of 2È long, nearby-hour tracks one of which has been written down together with "Ad Lux Tenebrae", and 9 short compositions.
In 2003 without the permission of the authors, the first track has been published in a cd-r format, limited in 121 copy, by a piracy label 'fight music' and stood out for a high-grade album. The edition has been instantly sold-out, has received huge quantity great and enthusiastic responses, and till now it is considered one of the best drone ambient works from Russia...

It's a true monument and a masterpiece of drone ambient/ritual/north shamanic music.
The album is devoted, mysterious death of nine professional tourists, on a mountain Holat-Sjahl slope (that in transfer from Mansi language - "Mountain of dead") on February, 1st 1959Ç. Sixty years later this history continues dements researchers, but the solution probably will be already never found... The set of versions, hundreds research expeditions, and can explain nothing years of investigations that has occurred that night!?
Investigations of the deaths suggest that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow; while the corpses show no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue. According to sources, the victims' clothing contained high levels of radiation, but no one from group do't work with radioactive objects.
Soviet investigators determined only that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths. Entrance to the area after the incident was barred for three years. The chronology of the accident remains unclear due to the lack of survivors to the accident.

Velehentor, will spend you, to sound travel through time and space... In the infinite
Snow-covered Northern Ural Mountains (one of the most dangerous and remote areas on a planet), on 60 years ago, there, where it again occur!...

~Welcome to the Mystical Winter-land~

ORCHIS is an English Dark Folk band consisting of Tracy Jeffery (who also sings with Cunnan and J Greco's SQE), Amanda Prouten and Alan Trench (Cunnan, SQE, Twelve Thousand Days(with Martyn Bates), Temple Music). We have so far managed to release four albums to date starting in 1994 with The Dancing Sun (cryptanthus /World Serpent), which was more a collection of formative pieces than anything else, then in 1997 the concept album that was A Thousand Winters (cryptanthus / World Serpent). Mandragora (Trisol), an alchemical album based around the themes of life, death and the transmutation of the soul followed in 1999 and in 2001 Trait (a 'best of' released through the Russian Brudenia label). Relocation and various tedious problems put ORCHIS on the back burner for a while whilst we buried ourselves in other projects like the busy bunnies we are; we raised our heads out of the mire again in 2007 with the 'Other Days' download ep via the (now sadly defunct) Woven Wheat Whispers legal folk download service... There have been numerous compilation album appearances over the years, with some tracks turning up on the 'Trait' album. We like to think, as the Fairports had it, that we are Nicely Out Of Tune - there was the odd perfect take, but those were never the ones that went on the albums - rather it was the ones that kept to the True Spirit....

For now, we are happy, to inform you about the important, re-release of the second long-play, from this Esoteric Dark Folk band!.

A TOUSAND WINTERS it is improbable result of the deep mystical experiences embodied in studio work! It's a Óonceptual album, with Grand Theme: The story of one part of Europe is extraordinarily like every other part; a thriving pagan culture that at first laughs in derision at the priests of the desert messiah, and then is slowly submerged by the rising tide of christianity until all that remains is folk memory and old tales and songs. The cult of the Nazarene has built many truly awe-inspiring cathedrals from the blood of the people of Europe whilst incorporating and subverting their culture into that of the Blood of the Lamb.

We can to tell that on music, it is mystical dark folk with an impurity of a classical English psychedelia of the end 60th or "Psychic TV" pouring "Allegory and Self" / "Trip Reset", probably to draw parallels with early works In Gowan Ring, but these words and comparisons it will be final a little what to describe music of great group! This inexpressible travel one way...
Now this album also the important part of history Neo-Folk of music to which we again have possibility to touch...

So, ORCHIS again with us and returning begins with "A THOUSAND WINTERS" which we with pride represent in 6 pannel-digiCD with a bronze stamping.

IF-04: DigiCD - All My Faith Lost ... - In A Sea, In A Lake, In A River ... ... Or In A Teardrop - 02/08

Country: Italy

Style: Modern Classical/Dark Folk

Edition: Digislim CD limited to 1000 copies.

Track-list:

1)The Sky Of The Lake
2)The Fideal
3)Agane
4)Anja
5)Gwrageth - Anoon
6)Argea (The Faithful Faery)
7)The Mermaid Song

"In a sea, in a lake, in a river ... ... or in a teardrop"
was composed and recorded by "all my faith lost .." in its
original line-up (Francis, Federico, Viola and Raffaella) as
a first full album.
The songs included in this album are inspired by spirits and
fairies somehow releated to water. There is Grageth-Anoon,
a fairy that can be seen near small lakes, there is Argea,
that comes out from a river to tell your destiny and Anja, a
fairy hidden in a tear.
The sound of the album is just more acoustic than recent
releases of the band and almost all songs are following the
verse/chorus/verse rule. Acoustic and Classic guitars are
the main instruments at the base of the compositions,
flutes and delicate synths create, then, light arrangements
giving that ethereal mood that will be more present in the
following releases of the band. The vocal parts are equally
divided among the male one (Federico) and the
female ones (Viola and Raffaella) creating a perfect
balance between heavenly/frail and profound/dark
atmospheres.
"In a sea, in a lake, in a river ... ... or in a teardrop"
is a beatiful travel in the early steps of "all my faith
lost ..." music.
