If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!„The Long Transition From Death To Wisdom“ markiert ein neues Kapitel in Dmitrys sich weiterentwickelnder Klangwelt – eine kontemplative, sich langsam entfaltende Reise durch Trauer, Erinnerung und das stille Aufkeimen von Klarheit. Verwurzelt in einer melancholischen Verschmelzung aus Shoegaze, Goth und Darkwave, gleitet das Album durch verwaschene Gitarrenklänge, gespenstische Synthesizer und ergreifenden Gesang – seine emotionale Landschaft schwebt zwischen Traurigkeit und Erwachen. Am Gesang ist Dmitrys langjährige Mitstreiterin Valeria Simonova zu hören, deren Präsenz die Atmosphäre des Albums vertieft. Jeder Track fühlt sich wie ein Schritt vorwärts im Ritual des Bewusstwerdens der eigenen Existenz an, der sich durch Stille und uralte Erinnerungen hin zu einem Gefühl spiritueller Erneuerung bewegt.
Sales Information:
"The Long Transition From Death To Wisdom" marks a new chapter in Dmitry's evolving sonic world – a contemplative, slow‑burning journey through grief, memory, and the quiet emergence of clarity. Rooted in a brooding fusion of shoegaze, goth, and darkwave, the album drifts through washed out guitars, spectral synths, and poignant vocals – its emotional landscape suspended between sadness and awakening. On vocal duties is Dmitry's longtime collaborator Valeria Simonova, whose presence deepens the album's atmosphere. Each track feels like a step forward in the ritual of becoming aware of one's own existence, moving through silence and ancient memories toward a sense of spiritual renewal.
The album opens with the mysticism and layered metaphors of "Liar," before descending into the ancient, biblical presence of "Serpent Queen." Midway, "Zenith" rises with shimmering synths and steady, triumphant percussion, while "Echoes of Yesterday" lingers in celestial melancholy, dissolving the boundary between remembrance and insight. The Bside begins with "The Other Side of Life," a threshold into a quieter, more reflective space, followed by the meditative, ritual like ambience of "Shrine of Ruins." Closing track "Cold" offers a final exhale from the fading realm of the past – an acceptance shaped by distance, time, and the erosion of old wounds.
An array of musicians contributed to the recoding of the album: Mathys Dubois (No One Is Innocent, exBlack Strobe), Loïc Maurin (M83), Victor Sologub (Deadушки, Странные Игры), Alexander Titov (Кино, Аквариум), Ben Easton (Deary), and others. The album was mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell.[info sheet from distr.]
