Late Soviet heavy metal captured on Мелодия in 1990, as the USSR dissolved. Маркиза delivers raw energy and driving riffing that reflects the unique character of Soviet-era metal—musicians developing their sound in relative isolation from Western movements, creating something distinctly their own. The rawness is genuine, the urgency unmistakable. This album is a fascinating historical document and increasingly collectible, offering a remarkable window into metal's truly global reach. A genuinely important record for anyone interested in how metal developed across different cultures and contexts.
