Utgivelsen bærer tittelen Холодне Мовчання Зірок, som oversatt betyr stjernenes kalde stillhet.

«This release is a chronicle of pain, the icy whisper of history and the agony of a people who have looked into the face of death and tyranny. Each song contains a fragment of a broken world: the icy wasteland over which dead horsemen rush; the black hole of Chernobyl; the suffocating silence of the Holodomor and Soviet terror.»

Låtforklaring:

Red Plague

«Red Plague is a concentrated hatred of the totalitarian system, embodied in extremely straightforward and painfully truthful lines. The text does not embellish or smooth out – it tears. From the first verse it becomes clear that this is not just an anti-system manifesto, but a fiery sermon against historical injustice: genocide under the guise of equality, propaganda is a means of mind washing – these are precise blows to the essence of Soviet terror.

Laconicism, harsh rhyme – everything works to create an atmosphere of fear and anger. The text fits perfectly with the music with aggressive riffs and angry, screaming vocals.»

Half-Life

«This song is rage and memory, engraved in verse. The author uncompromisingly describes the Chernobyl disaster as an apocalyptic phenomenon that not only destroys the physical, but also distorts the mental, ethical, and moral. The very first verse plunges into the night, where the second sun – a symbol of a nuclear explosion – burns all living things and leaves only pain, disorientation, and fear. All this is complemented by aggressive guitar riffs, a barrage of intense drums, and piercing vocals in the styles of scream and growl.

This song is a protest, a confession, a verdict. It is a monument to the tragedy that took the lives of thousands and the health of hundreds of thousands of people.»

In the Land of the Grave Dream

(Text – poem by Yakov Savchenko Ballad)

«The song immerses the listener in a cold, dead atmosphere. Masterfully created visual images of icy desolation, where two ghostly horsemen — symbols of death, eternal movement and hopelessness — rush through the silent wasteland. Verbal images amaze with the depth of the image of a frozen world in which there is no life, sound or hope left.

The rhythmic structure aptly conveys the monotonous but inevitable movement — like the hooves of horsemen in silence. The repetition of motifs of death, silence, ice and eternal cold creates a hypnotic effect, characteristic of the best representatives of atmospheric black metal.

In general, the song and text are distinguished by strong metaphors, gloomy aesthetics and apt combination of epicness with inner emptiness.»

Hunger

(Text – poem by Mykola Khvylovy Hunger)

«This song is a creepy, ominous landscape of an apocalyptic steppe, where nature no longer gives life, but only testifies to its degeneration. The atmosphere is oppressive and exhausting — the landscape is dry, burnt, crazy.

The language of the text is rough, almost bodily — the trees have been gnawed, the sun is knives, despair runs — everything living here is suffering or has already turned into fragments. This world is not just dying — it is rotting from the inside.

The vocals do not speak words, but gnaw them from the inside. The text does not simply depict fear — it itself is a manifestation of a painful reality, where hope died out yesterday.»
