Volch'ya Yagoda
by Theodor Bastard
Beautiful lyrics, magic. I've found my resort. THIS is music, art, soul. Primal and modern. The only band I know that combines genres as if they have always belonged together. There's nothing comparable to them. I adore their music. A complex synthesis I am always looking for.
Favorite track: Kamen, Sneg, Metal.

Just what I wanted in the new album. It's darker, has more folky songs and the sweet female singing takes centerstage; to melt whatever happens to be on your Buttirbrot! Urzala was the first song that gave me goosebumps and quite a few times I just had to smile. If you fancy stuff like Wardruna (but prefer female vocals) or Heilung, you will find something here, too.
Favorite track: Kamen, Sneg, Metal.

Great job, as always! Very emotional, atmospheric, deep. Les is wonderful, beautiful, mystery, I heard it live at one of the last concerts.
Favorite track: Les.

Volch'ya Yagoda Digipak + 8-page booklet
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumThe long-awaited new Theodor Bastard album Volch'ya Yagoda is a major work the band has been working on for the past five years. Theodor Bastard albums aren't released very often, but they invariably attract increased attention of audiophiles and music critics.
The multilayered and unpredictable album Volch'ya Yagoda inherits the band's recognizable multigenre approach where psychedelic trip hop combines with cinematic instrumentals and archaic world music meets modern technological electronics. Theodor Bastard combine Russian texts with glossolalia and shamanic spells as easily as they change instruments on stage. Yana Veva and Fedor Svoloch compose music not only within the band, they regularly record soundtracks for popular computer games. Over many years they have sharpened the art of weaving complex sound canvases where the listener feels like in a labyrinth.
From album to album Theodor Bastard carefully and masterly combine many different exotic and traditional instruments. Volch'ya Yagoda is no exception. The special northern atmosphere of the album is created with Nordic nyckelharpa and jouhikko, primeval flutes created from tree roots and shamanic percussion. And as always, the leading role in the album belongs to the voice of Yana Veva, exciting and bewitching by its deepness.
Volch'ya Yagoda takes the listener to the cold and twilight realms of marshy swamps of taiga and mossy tundra, to unexplored places where the earthly plane and the spiritual world are separated only by a very thin ghostly veil. For over twenty years Theodor Bastard have been known for their amazingly serious attitude to the world beyond that very frontier.
Collector's edition of the album is released in a limited edition of 500 copies in a 4-panel digipak in original slipcase. The CD edition also includes an 8-page booklet with illustrations for the album.
Includes unlimited streaming of Volch'ya Yagoda via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. ... moreSold Out

I love to listen to this during work, it fills me with calmness and I can almost smell the scents of the forest. Beautiful & serene from start to finish.

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.
