Aleister Crowley's poems translated into Russian were first published in 2017 – the same year we release the album on which musicians inspired by his works create their sonic dedication. This album was created by Russian dark scene musicians who have never met before but have been following each other's activities for a long time – Majdanek Waltz and Denis Tretyakov.
The latter professes his own religion which implies faith in a mole as an underground deity. Being the leader of two bands – "Tserkov' Detstva (Church of Childhood)" and "Bratya Tuluzovy (The Tuluzov Brothers)" – for the first time he acted as a reciter of poems. Majdanek Waltz from Ryazan' remembered their early musical experiments and primary sources of inspiration. Priceless support was granted by the secret musical project The Noktulians. The final black balance was masterfully adjusted by the member of Reutoff and Otzepenevshiye – ArSch aka Myrrman.
Apart from all other obvious jubilees and important round dates, 2017 marks the 70-year anniversary of Aleister Crowley's death. This recording should close the gap of the jubilee list of the year. Instead of the always fashionable red stars better use this black digipak. Put it in windows, nail it to the front door, take it with you wherever you go. "Every man and every woman is a star".

Стихи Алистера Кроули на русском языке впервые опубликованы в 2017 году. В этом же году выходит первый альбом, где музыканты, ценители творчества поэта, записали звуковое посвящение ему. Опять же впервые над одной записью работали российские музыканты тёмной сцены, которые до этого никогда не пересекались, но с интересом следили за творчеством друг друга – Majdanek Waltz и Денис Третьяков.
Лидер кроторианских ансамблей «Церковь Детства» и «Братья Тузловы» впервые выступил в амплуа чтеца стихов. Рязанцы вспомнили свои изначальные музыкальные эксперименты и первоисточники вдохновения. Бесценную поддержку оказал секретный музыкальный проект The Noktulians. Финальный баланс чёрного традиционно мастерски выставил участник Reutoff и Оцепеневшие ArSch aka Myrrman.
Помимо всех прочих очевидных юбилеев и круглых важных дат, 2017 год – это год 70-летия со дня кончины Алистера Кроули. Этой пластинкой мы ликвидируем пробел в списке юбилеев года. Вместо вечно модных красных звёздочек-пентаграм, смело используйте этот чёрный конверт. Вешайте на окна, прибивайте на входную дверь, носите с собой. «Каждая женщина, каждый мужчина – звезда».
