bmurator Russian Atmospheric / Post-Black Metal. This is simply stunningly beautiful & I cannot get enough! The atmospheres created are just magic! Plus the changes in tempo & the additonal post-BM elements mean that this never gets boring for me. I could not possibly have a favourite song either... :) Highly recommended!

veganerd666 Amazing record! Simply wonderful trip thru ice and snow. Very cool mix of extremely driving power right out the gate. And an extremely lush and etheric quality or atmosphere. Brilliant!!

joH1 Encore une fois les ruskofs d'Olhava ont tout cassé. Leur son est encore plus metal avec des guitares encore plus proéminentes, et ce feat de Austin Lunn qui donne un côté country/US, une pépite. Favorite track: Frozen Bloom I.

about

Russian blackgaze duo Olhava is back with their new studio album. Frozen Blooom is the natural follow-up to self-titled Olhava (2019) and Ladoga (2020), and integrates some dronescapes the band experimented on Never Leave Me Alone (2020), the drone version of their debut.

Multi-instrumentalist Andrey Novozhilov and drummer Timur Yusupov describe their new journey with words of thoughtful contemplation: “When winter is just starting to fade and give some space to the first steps of spring… When life starts to reappear and the very early flowers peek through the thawing soil, a sudden drop of the temperature can leave them petrified and frozen back again, punished by the “Queen of Fields”. This statuesque dead beauty, being infinitely alive and dead at the same time is the main metaphor of this album. Frozen Bloom is about unfulfilled dreams. About how we sacrifice everything today for some abstract “tomorrow”, which may never come. But tomorrow and yesterday don’t exist – only this very moment of static contemplation is real”.

Frozen Bloom is Olhava’s fourth opus in three years, and here the duo took some different routes compositionally. Two of the four tracks are traditionally storm-like blackgaze passages, while the other two are leaning towards a more meditative drone experience. The album also features A. Lunn, who kindly agreed to record an electric guitar solo as well as acoustic parts and choral parts on “Frozen Bloom I”.
