More Mertvyie Ushi/Oblachnyij Kraj stuff delivered by heresy1975, many thanks!!

Info:
Here is another historical document from the ex Soviet Union. The first Mertvyie Ushi recordings made in 1978, long before they changed name into Oblachnyij Kray and became more and more heavy metal and even bordering thrash in some of their 90's releases.

Here you can hear only a generic/pretty immature proto hard rock/metal with heavy jazz and bluesy influences, even traditional music and other strange sounds. But, already, the general atmopsphere is somehow dark and "cloudy", a pretty obscure and depressing though this trademark will be more and more evident in their 80's album like Hudozestvennaya Samodeyatel'nost' or Ublyuzhya Dolya or vershina Idiotizma, their real masterieces.
Well, they come from Arkangel, on the Arctic Sea, and I believe they really express the feeling of such extreme regions in their music

Enjoy this rare re-release made by the band itself. This is the only CDR on the whole set of re-editions (along with the Live in Podolsk 1987) while all the other albums were carefully remastered and reprinted on silver factory pressed CD.
