about

Sol Mortuus is the project of the Yekaterinburg-based musician named Kein, who played in the 90-ies in a well-known underground Russian atmospheric black metal band Thy Repentance and later got carried away by experimental ambient sound. Under this name he has already released the album "Black In The Green Wreath" on a split with Zinc Room (2014, Evil Dead Productions, EDP 014) and a couple of tracks on compilations. Kein is also the author of such projects as Scratching Soil, Carved Image Of Emptiness, Church Of Howling Dog and is a member of Prognostic Zero and Zinc Room.

"Extinction" was recorded in 2014-2015 and dedicated to a life in decay, under a dying Sun, or possibly Three Suns? This is slow, thick and viscous rhythmic ritual ambient evoking spacious desert images (although everyone has their own visions). Aside from the essential synthesizers which play a background droning role here, a lot of acoustic instruments were used in this recording: cello, mandolin, blockflute, kaluka, vargan, buben and various percussion. The album sounds whole, it seems the tracks bleed one from another but at the same time each of them carries its own story built on the interpretations of the ancient Ural legends and tales of the northern peoples.

Sol Mortuus - один из проектов екатеринбургского музыканта по имени Kein, в своё время игравшего в известной atmospheric black metal банде Thy Repentance, а позже всецело увлёкшегося эспериментально-эмбиентным звучанием. Под этим именем он уже выпустил запись "Black In The Green Wreath" в сплите с Zinc Room (2014, Evil Dead Productions, EDP 014), а также пару треков на компиляциях. Авторству Kein также принадлежат проекты Scratching Soil, Carved Image Of Emptiness, Church Of Howling Dog, кроме того, он является участником Prognostic Zero и Zinc Room.

Диск "Extinction" был записан в 2014-2015 гг. и посвящён жизни в состоянии угасания, умирания Солнца, а, может быть, и Трёх Солнц? Это медленный, густой и тягучий ритмичный ритуальный эмбиент, вызывающий пространные пустынные ассоциации (впрочем, у каждого они свои). Кроме непременных синтезаторов, которые в данном случае выполняют скорее фоновую роль, в записи альбома использована масса акустических инструментов: виолончель, мандолина, блок-флейта, калюка, варган, бубен и разнообразная перкуссия. Альбом звучит очень цельно, треки как будто перетекают один в другой, и в то же время в каждом из них рассказывается своя история, построенная в основном на интерпретациях древних уральских легенд и сказаний северных народов.
