The Oredezh is a beautiful river in the south-west of Leningradskaya Oblast' (rural area around St Petersburg), mentioned in the 1240 chronicles in connection with "the forced christening of Russia". Legends have it that when Russia was being christened, local inhabitants went to hide in forests, some to organise guerrilla groups, others simply to take refuge. Just for this release several well-known musicians and sound-artists came up with their interpretations of the raw pagan Black Metal track that gave the compilation it's name, though it's not a "pagan" compilation. This is a large musical canvas with varying sound in which interesting artists from all over the world express their opinions and their points of view on this theme using the universal ways of musical language. Participants: Adam Ebringer, Alexander Belkov, Bardoseneticcube, Beherit, Benzolnye Mertvecy, Coaxil, Edward Sol, Farmacia, Kryptogen Rundfunk, PBK, Porch Nap, Rajfajh, and Sivyj Yar. Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold digisleeve with 2 artcards.
