.
COMATOSE VIGIL „Not a Gleam of Hope”
Here we have another solid doom band from Russia bearing the mark of Stygian Crypt. Not a Gleam of Hope is a most-fitting album title for the type of funeral doom this group creates.
AMBER TEARS „Revelations of Renounced”
Russian group AMBER TEARS prefers to be described as pagan doom metal. The group proves this claim to be true right from the opening intro, which features a menagerie of natural sounds such as bird calls and the sound of angry winds. What sounds like a synthetic bag pipe cuts into the call of the wild.

TACIT FURY „The Invented Pain”
TACIT FURY exist from 2001 year and comes from Russia as well as 2 demo materials. I have to admit the music of the band moved me deeply from the beginning of my listening.
GRENOUER „Try”
“Try” is a three song demo from Russia's, Grenouer, who have been bringing brutal Death to the Russian front for over a decade. This, their fifth release, brings a more Tech approach, and although it's groovy, it holds it's brutality.
AUTUMN „Black Wings”
A beginning which is not most likely, but I have to start with it. Too bad this band is split up.
LITTLE DEAD BERTHA „Way Of Blind”
Little Dead Bertha is a Russian band that has been around in various forms since the mid-90's. They seem to have changed musical styles as much as they've changed band members and “Way Of Blind” is their latest release and finds them in an awesome mix of Black Metal and Thrash.
