Silentium by Binturong

Silentium is a journey through shadows, silence, and starlit desolation — where the poetry of Fyodor Tyutchev meets the raw power of doom, gothic, and stoner rock.

This album by Binturong reimagines the melancholic grandeur of one of Russia’s greatest romantic poets through the lens of heavy riffs, slow-burning grooves, and desert-scorched sonics. Each track builds upon Tyutchev’s metaphysical meditations — on madness, nature, solitude, fate, and the unspeakable depths of the soul — transforming 19th-century verse into a sound that’s both timeless and cataclysmic.

From the apocalyptic trance of Madness to the mournful hymn of Silentium, from the hallucinatory surf of Sea Horse to the cosmic silence of Chariot, the album balances violence and vulnerability, invoking a dreamlike doomscape where romantic introspection collides with crushing distortion.

For fans of Acid King, Kal-El, Kyuss, and those who find beauty in decay, Silentium is not just a record — it’s a revelation whispered in the ruins.
