In order to better understand the music of this band, you should understand the name SHAKHTYOR. There are many options, if you look at the world of Soccer, you will find more than enough teams that were named by that way, but the foremost important one is a team from Belorussia, from the city of Salihorsk, a miner city. Mining coal, and not gold, as when mining coal there is a use of heavy machinery. Being heavy and mechanized is what the German trio of SHAKHTYOR is all about. However, be aware that this is an instrumental Doom / Sludge / Stoner / Post-Metal hard riffing, loud bass and drums and plenty of electric effects. It?s not an easy album to listen. After a while it gains a kind of clarity that will assert a notion of the album's multi-faceted figure. A hard but VERY rewarding task.
