Swan Song by Sistema Bezopasnosti (СИстема БЕзопасности) - 2007
It is a gift limited reissue of the album released in 2007, which is one of the most expressive and moving works of the “virtual and Hermetic orchestra”. All the songs are diverse in their subject and contents. All of them have their own storyline, but at the same time they are united by one idea, which makes the album conceptual and allows to apprehend the album on different levels. Poems contain many references to the works of art, films, literary sources, etc. Using the terminology of postmodern, we can say that the album is full of allusions and “dormant” meanings, it shows great erudition and contains a deep subtext, thereby attracting intellectuals.
The album will be of interest not only for lovers of dark folk, but also for other connoisseurs of dark aesthetics, including the Gothic admirers.
Thus, the “Swan Song” is a luxurious veil woven of many sounds, all kinds of voices and instruments, archetypal images and symbols, different mythological and real characters who walk by and then again hide behind the curtain of time.
Thus the Gothic gloom envelops reality and bodiless spirits gain strength and appear among us. Thus the mysterious world of the occult knowledge aggressively invades the material world, mercilessly destroying its rationality. Thus the sorcerers and shamans passionlessly observe the vanity of the world, and the gates of wisdom open for the initiated. Thus the hero is rewarded for loyalty for his vocation with the inspiration which coins alchemical gold.
Anyone who is familiar with the works of “Sistema Bezopasnosti” will enjoy all this to the fullest, and for the others it is a wonderful opportunity to plunge into this different magical world.
And remember: don’t be afraid of the Dark, but be afraid of the things it hides!
