Cold and mesmerizing atmospheric black metal from the Siberian region of Yugra in the city of Nizhnevartovsk, Windbruch presents their second full-length album “No stars, only full dark” after releasing their debut “Collisions of the World” in late 2009 on Sun and Moon Records. With their new effort, Windbruch succeeds in creating a delicate and emotional soundtrack for the heart of winter with a genuine sound rooted firmly in the original aura and atmosphere of black metal but with a distinct Siberian twist. “No stars, only full dark” has a strong cinematic component to it turning the album into a journey. Dialogue from the Russian film “Stalker” is included in the track “Only Full Dark”, and “Neswa-Pawuk” is based on the novel “Nomads of the North” from the american writer James Oliver Curwood who wrote about two fugitives escaping to the Canadian tundra. An ode to all things cold, bleak, and distressing, “No stars, only full dark” is the perfect soundtrack for lonely cold winter nights.
“The whole album is something like a message from silent space or another reality. It is а sonic message to humanity to stop the exploitation of our home planet. Hundreds of years of war and over-consumption of the gifts of nature can not last forever. The future is coming. The dark future without stars. This concept finds reflection in the novel “Nomads of the North” by J. O. Curwood in some chapters and the cover itself refers to the same novel”
lyrics
Нет больше ни выхода, ни входа.
Стрелки часов разбитых,
Линии цифр размытых
Слились в крепких объятиях.
Косматые ветви стучались в окна,
В гости ко мне просились,
Обрывками фраз бросались,
Посылали проклятия.
Нет больше ни выхода, ни входа.
Звезды падали с неба
белыми хлопьями снега,
Огнем заливая поля.
Кто-то незваный стоит у порога.
Сердце отчаянно бьется.
За окном полыхает заря.
Нет больше ни выхода, ни входа.
Стрелки часов разбитых,
Линии цифр размытых
Слились в крепких объятиях.
Я слышу стоны протяжных ветров,
Шорох одежд, скрип половиц.
Легкая поступь тяжелых шагов.
Шелест измятых в ладони страниц.
Звезды повисли на потолке,
За горизонт уходит дорога.
Выключи свет, присядь в уголке.
Отсюда не выхода, сюда нету входа.

The Spotify algorithm blessed me with this one today. Had to come pay my dues, as it were. This is some immense, murky, horrifyingly beautiful stuff. adammcjohnson
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
