PRE-ORDER: September 17th at 5PM Finnish time (10AM NYC).
RELEASE: November 4th.

Blood Music will be presenting the sixth album from Russian/Ukrainian underground post-rock/funeral doom masters, Kauan. The album, entitled "Muistumia" (meaning - "Reminiscences"), will see its first time printing on digipack CD and ultra-limited edition 2xLP. Additionally, we will have long-lost copies of the 2xLP first pressing of the band's most well-known album - "Aava Tuulen Maa" that were thought lost into the north of Finland.

About "Muistumia":

Through Kauan's growth and experimentation, its sound and production has vastly improved since its humble beginnings as a band of teenagers in remote Chelyabinsk, Russia. It was decided while in between labels to privately crowdfund the professional recording of a collection of re-arranged tracks from the band's early years.

The band re-recorded six of the main tracks from the albums "Lumikuuro" and "Tietäjän Laulu" in addition to the recording of a brand new song called "Unsoi."

The release was intended only for a core group of 53 individuals, but the demand for the release was too high. It is now being presented in a limited run of high-quality digipack editions with official artwork.

The closing track / re-recorded version of "Orkidea" can be heard here:

Limited edition of 1000 copies in 4-panel, rough-coated, reverse-board digipack.

Kauan "Aava Tuulen Maa" 2xLP



First-time pressing of Kauan's most well-loved album. The original label had difficulty selling copies, sold only 100 of them and stuck the others into an obscure book shop in the north of Finland. We tracked them down and are putting the rest of the copies for sale, now five years later.

Russia has Aram Khachaturian, Stravinsky and Shostakovich. I should think that would be enough.

Not only that, but maybe y'all should focus on getting out overdue releases like the Perturbator CD before putting out even more stuff.
