OPRICH - Winds' Heady Mead LP (single sided)
On heavy pages of annalistic manuscripts these ancient letters keep
the warrior line evenly. And they speak. The Past speaks in the battle
steel of restrained and discreet words, the capacious ones as a
messenger’s report from a frontier squadron.
Yeah, at that time the
sky was brighter and higher, the winds of the Volga expanses were
fresher, and people forged their fortune in a braver manner. The
manuscript letters say that. And the people are the most important for
them. Those who ran up the shaky gangways on steep boards of Novgorod
boats, whose hands used to the oar weight long ago, and whose eyes were
ready for unceasing gazing into the blinding distance of the stream way –
towards the Fate!
The Ushkuiniks. We open a new page and ready to
tell you about these fearless daredevils of the Russian North – warriors
and pioneers, robbers and avengers, those who steer their fast boats to
the Unknown.
Our first tale is a mini-album “Winds’ Heady Mead” including three brand new songs of OPRICH, and an original remake of TEMNOZOR’s heritage – the song “Folkstorm of the Azure Nights”.
The album is released as a one-side 12’’LP limited to 100 hand-numbered copies. The cover art is created by a painter Igor “Dartgarry” Burlakov
(FRIGHT NIGHT, HAGL, GREY HEAVEN FALL, HATEISM, NORTH DIAMOND etc.).
The LP envelope includes lyrics and their poetical translation into
English by a translator Sergey AR Pavlov (ARKONA, ALKONOST, MUNRUTHEL, HAGL, MASTER (USA/Czech)).
