It's a true monument and a masterpiece of drone ambient/ritual/north shamanic music.
The album is devoted to the mysterious deaths of nine tourists on a mountain Holat-Sjahl (Mansi language - "Mountain of dead") on February, 1st 1959. Sixty years later this history continues to puzzle researchers, but the solution probably will never be found... Multiple versions and hundreds of research expeditions can explain nothing after years of investigations.
Investigations of the deaths suggest that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow; while the corpses show no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue. According to sources, the victims' clothing contained high levels of radiation, but no one from group worked with radioactive objects.
Soviet investigators determined only that "an unknown force" had caused the deaths.
