bcb723 I'll admit... I'm kind of a secret ambient geek. Like from the old school of Eno & T. Dream to 90's Aphex Twin and The Orb... the right ambient music can take the pain away. I love that Ikotka can turn their musical themes inward to produce beauty from the harrowing melodies of the funeral triptych. If you are new to the band's music, you can definitely buy this first but I would suggest buying Ikotka's entire discography and listen in order to get the full impact of this album. Nice. Favorite track: От Бессонницы Младенца.

bmurator I have not yet listened to it. I had promised myself not to spend any more money until next year ... But who can resist the great Икотка ? What would this year 2020 have been without them ? I am looking forward to listening to it !!!
edit: Very different but still as nice as always :)

Ben Z. It's only on the second listen that I'm realizing the first track is a rework of Плач круглой сироты, from the first and my personal favorite of the funeral EPs, and somehow no less eerie in its new, more subdued state. Икотка are top-tier black metal, and I can already tell this newest ambient take is going to reward repeated listens Favorite track: При Пробуждении Ото Сна.

YomaBarr The guys probably sit there laughing their heads off at our reactions :) But seriously, I own two ✌ ambient albums. Both by metal artists I trust and love and support.
And you know what? Those both do the job.
This is one of them.
These whispers.

edit: spent half a night figuring out which melody is which. Nice amusement 😁

This time, to celebrate the end of the gloomy but productive 2020, three obsessed with Ikotka performed some Russian spells with the accompaniment of ambient/dungeon synth versions of some musical themes from the previous funeral triptych.
