Заговор

by Икотка

atmospheric_drugs Икотка — темная сущность из древних поверий севера России, которая живет в человеке и терзает его годами... Однажды ночью несколько лет назад трое одержимых Икоткой устроили джем-сейшн в заброшенном храме на Урале. Они исполняли древние традиционные русские заговоры и заклинания под аккомпанемент сырого и атмосферного black metal-а.

FalconPilot While many artists tire of comparisons to their contemporaries (and rightfully so), I can't help but think of early Blut Aus Nord played in a distinctly "Ikotka" style while listening to this album. If this sounds like your cup of tea, waste no time in reveling in Zagovor's dense, murky, and mystical charms. This is a powerful work and, while short, packs an emotional punch well beyond the ominous cover art...

Заговор от Змеи На море-океане, на остром кургане Стоит дуб, под дубом – куст Под кустом - черная руна Под той руной - черная змея Скоропея С малыми скоропятами. Змея Скоропея, вынимай своих скоропят Лютых, летучих, норовых, полевых Щелевых, желтохвостых, зеленых, краснопузых Болотных, земляных, водяных А не вынешь свое жало Пойду к лихому архангелу Зажгу гнилую колоду во ваш род И племя выжгу и выгоню И, змея Скоропея, вынимай Свое жало поскорей Не я тебя выкликаю Мать выкликает, Пресвятая Богородица Словами своими святыми вызывала И духом выдувала. Аминь Charm Against Snakes On the sea-ocean, on a sharp mound There is an oak, under an oak - a bush Under the bush - the black rune Under that rune is Scoropeya the black snake with little snakes. Scoropeya the snake, take out your little snakes Fierce, volatile, burrowing, field Slotted, yellow-tailed, green, red-bellied Marsh, earthen, water If you don't take out your sting I will go to the dashing archangel I will light a rotten deck to your kind And I will burn and expel your tribe Scoropea the snake, take out Your sting quickly I’m not calling you out Mother calls out, Holy Mother of God With her holy words And blew it out with the spirit. Amen * A peculiar hierarchy of snakes can be traced in charms. The eldest one over the snakes is often called Scarapeya (Scoropeya, Shkuropeya, Praskoveya, etc.), she and her sisters obey the "smaller" reptiles.

Заговор От тоски. Чур, чур, думы Чур, чур, мысли Чур, чур чужие слова Чур, чур быть не укор раб Божий Венедикт Слава отцу и сыну и святому Духу. !Аминь! Мать река, ключева вода Как умывала она круты берега Как уносила желтые песка Так омой-ополощи печаль и тоску с раба Божьего с ясных очей Со кровавых печеней Из ретивого сердца Из буйной головы Во имя отца, сына и святого духа Аминь! Тьфу! Charm Against Longing Chur, chur, minds Chur, chur, thoughts Chur, chur other people's words Chur, chur not to be a reproach servant of God Venedict Glory to the father and son and the Holy Spirit! Amen! Mother river, spring water As she washed the steep banks As I carried away the yellow sands So wash and rinse the sorrow and longing from the servant of God From clear eyes From bloody livers From a zealous heart From a riotous head In the name of the father, son and holy spirit Amen! Ugh! * Chur is an interjection in East Slavic languages, the word goes back to the name of the Slavic god of the family hearth. An exclamation (usually in children's games), which are forbidden to touch something, to go beyond any limit [initially in spells, where the word "chur" means a border, a border].

Заговор от Покойника Вот тебе, Иван, хлеб и соль, у стола не стой, В окошко не гляди и домой не ходи На тебе хлеба край, только нас не задевай Вот тебе хлеб и лес, чтоб домой не лез Солнышко никогда в другу сторону не воротится И ты уж не воротишься Горе да беда, плыви с водой радость да веселье, пойдем со мной Я за рекой, ты за другой не видаться нам с тобой. Будь свят, лежи на своем месте Ты за город и я за другой не видаться нам с тобой. Я приду, а ты не ходи Charm Against the Dead Here are bread and salt for you, Ivan. Don't stand at the table Don't look out the window and don't go home Here's a piece of bread for you, just don't hurt us Here are bread and wood for you so that you don't go home The sun will never turn the other way And you won't come back Grief and trouble, swim with water Joy and fun, come with me I'm beyond the river, you're beyond the other one I will not meet you. Be holy, lie in your place You're out of town, I'm out of other one I will not meet you. I will come and you don't go

about

Legend

One night a few years ago three men obsessed with Ikotka held a jam session in an abandoned temple in the Urals. They performed ancient traditional Russian charmes and spells with the accompaniment of raw and atmospheric black metal.
Some fragments from these sessions were recorded on tape and saved. These records formed the basis of the album "Zagovor' ("Charm") that was not published previously.

English track list:
01) Evil Eye
02) Charm Against Snakes
03) Charm Against Longing
04) Absolution
05) Charm Against the Dead
06) Farewell

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode
