Sivyj Yar - A Scarlet Sunset Over The Horrid Abyss (Digi-CD)

Release: 04.04.2025
Sivyj Yar is a post-black metal band that was founded almost twenty years ago in the countryside south of St. Petersburg. It is aimed at all those who are ready to take a step forward and not stop at the music itself, but are open to learning the story. - Since 2014, multi-instrumentalist and composer Vladimir Vishniakov has been working closely with Avantgarde Music to release his music. A Scarlet Sunset Over The Horrid Abyss marks a new milestone in the artist's journey and features poems by Andrei Bely, a symbolist Russian poet from the early XX century, as well as archival photographs taken in the Kolyma camps - one of the most horrific places in Russia's modern history, a remote area in the east of the country where dozens of gulags held Soviet prisoners of war and political prisoners in extreme conditions until the 1970s. - Sivyj Yar has always dealt with the history and darkest times of the Russian people, and this new album is no exception. In Vladimir's words, this work is about the innocent, the tortured, the murdered, the broken and the forgotten. About those who were destined to unbearable suffering. - About the sacrifices they made. The wheel of terror turns faster. The darkest pages of history repeat them selves.
