No idea why this album wasn't posted anywhere yet (except on the Shaytankutak's vk.com page). In comparison with their 2011 release, this album sounds much more "post-rock"-ish, much less BM-influenced. Anyway, Shaytankutak remain to be an unique musical phenomenon in Kazakhstan, and one of the best post-metal bands in ex-USSR. Although not black metal, this album sounds more gloomy and depressing than many so-called "depressive BM" releases. Despair and futility are the main lyrical topics; however, the album also contains some political commentary (mentions of Zhanaozen events in the track #3). The quality of production isn't great, but good enough; it's fascinating to see how their sound has progressed from noisegrind to artcore/post-metal within a few years. Would definitely recommend this album if you're into post-metal/sludge, especially if you liked their previous one.
