I’ve given it about 10 listens, and it is fantastic. It has a similar style to their previous album, Храм.

I can't believe I had no idea this was even released until today... so ashamed. Just barely got done listening to it for the first time

I think its pretty clear they are veering away from the folk aspect of their music, especially with this album. I don't recall hearing any folk in it at all actually. Doesn't mean their new stuff doesn't kick ass though! This album was absolutely excellent, at least for my first listen. I'll 100% be listening to this again, likely many times
