Now here is a release from Christfuck Productions – a great label that slowly but steadily is starting to rise in my esteem as Bulgaria’s probably most noteworthy representative of labels specialized in the underground black metal / cold ambient music fields! Thus, what we have on this CD is the This Is What I See demo of Bulgaria’s one-man project Tomb Of Time and the Chthonic Heritage full-length debut of Budsturga from Russia (also a one man act). It is Tomb Of Time who goes first – what Naw has forwarded is 3 tracks that, although equally wrapped in obscurity and cold misanthropic moods, turned out to sound sensibly different from one another! While “Space Of Serenity” (my favorite, actually) is explicitly complied with the starlight quenching, ritualist ambient criteria, the “Deeply In Time” follow-up literally blows you off with insane, chaos-exhaling electro beats laced with spirally whirling harsh screams.

Whereas the final “Process Of Spiritual Immortality” track swirls you in the slow, saturnine roundabout of acoustic guitar parts and spectral whispers… Awesome beginning anyway, I can’t wait to see what Tomb Of Time will come up with in the future! AND, prepare now to hear what the very name of The Game is, as Budsturga’s Sinistrum is coming next with his 6-wheel euphoria-smashing machine constructed by lugubrious guitar riffs, eerie synth melodies and gurgling imminence! And that’s the part of this split CD that I liked better in fact, for bringing me so far beyond the stellar filth piles!!!
