Breath of Earth

Zhelezobeton is a Russian industrial label and is known for some releases of some of Peter Andersson’s (Raison d’Être) side-projects like Grismannen and Cataclyst.

Hypnoz is a project of one Dmitry Zubov, who lives in Moscow. From what information I could find, this is the first release under the Hypnoz moniker.
The music of Hypnoz is a combination of low rumbling drones and rhythmical ambient. The album sucks you in from the get go. The sounds on this album are all fully realized and it has a kind of mysterious presence throughout. A lot of the tracks add rhythmical elements to the low background drones and sounds, which creates a kind of suspense about what is about to happen. Every track is a piece on itself, so it’s now constant flow, but it does feel as a whole. The album is not overly dark like some other acts in this genre can be, but it’s no light ensemble either. It sometimes uses some electro influences, but utilizes it to a great mystical effect.

This is a great album to get into with headphones on. It’s not the most quiet of ambient albums, it has the rhythmical and experimental elements throughout, and so you won’t fall asleep with it. Also, the album has some really beautiful artwork on the digi-sleeve. A very good release!
