Comment: this issue originates by Echthros (Bartosz Frąckowiak) from Poland who provides 6 long-running progressions (over 54 minutes in all) where orthodox church hymns are crossed with more or less ominous spoken word/and moaning snippets and ethereal floatation/or settling on more abrasive, noiseful/sludge/doom guitar blow-ups. It is solemn and a little ghastly simulatenously, i.e masterfully accentuated and channelized. Altogether, it is the intriguing appearance from its very start to the ending point.
