SHAKHTYOR (meaning "Miner" in Russian) is a German trio delivering an iconoclastic blend of instrumental doom, heavily influenced by post-rock and progressive elements. Their second album, "Tunguska," features five tracks that span nearly 50 minutes of music, offering both a challenge and a delight. The slow, hypnotic riffs remind us that Doom Is The Law here, yet their modern and open approach allows the compositions to breathe and, most importantly, to surprise us. A MUST-HEAR!
For fans of KYPCK, NEUROSIS, and IXION.
