Wisdoms End What an awesome find by Tobi!

Old Believers sounds like you are sitting at your porch, having a smoke and stare into the woods while the light of the day fades. Your demons are crawling out of their bleak corners and ask if they could have a smoke too.
You tell them that they work way too much lately and smoking is an unhealthy coping mechanism.
Also toiletpaper is empty.
The urge to discuss the event of the missing of the last taco comes to your mind.
Tuesday again.

jiristepan Heavy without guitars. Brass and strings at the limits of construction and material. Dark and captivating music that comes back like an endless echo and with its heaviness beats most of the metal I've heard lately into the ground.

tr_🇺🇦 A project of Espen Lund. Fascinating instrumental drone doom featuring drums, amplified trumpet, cello. A unique and vibrant sound. Much relax. Favorite track: The Ringing Reverberation Of Psalms.

a Jazz Noise "...doomy, eerie, anxious, defiant, joyous and ultimately spiritual... conjured via the screams and howls of tortured instruments, propelled beyond their commonly-accepted sounds..."

gnihilo Wonderful piece of noisy drone doom with just the right amount of variation to keep things interesting over the whole runtime. One of my favourite works of the entire genre! Favorite track: The Sound Of Holy Numbers.

Album cover by Kristoffer Lundberg

"Old Believers make music that evokes a house burning down. It’s charred black, buckles and warps in your ears, but bathed in a violent glow that’s as transfixing as it is unsettling."
- The Quietus

"While 45 mins of track #1 would have been blissful, this album has more ambition. Without losing the droning dark worship mood, each theme takes a different approach to driving you through the next door of perception"
- a Jazz Noise
