Of this strange, German band I earlier reviewed a cd on Cold Spring from the UK. This new cd is released by this much smaller label The Eastern Front from Israel, but the band surely fits on this label. Way Of Crosses opens with a nice martial neofolky track and continues with a two minimalistic tracks with dance rhythms with are either a bit dull or interesting as sounding new (and with a very amusing variation on the “Woher stammst du?” scene from Triumph Des Willens). Also there are of course the traditional (Russian?) songs, strange experimental soundscapes, some poppy and industrial tracks… You read it, this cd does not contain a single and predictable style of music, but an interesting collection of ideas and tracks of which most are interesting enough to get a copy of this nicely packages (but limited to 1000 copies) album.

Hello,
The songs are not traditional Russian songs. Songs are sung on Croatian language, which isn’t Russian. Bleiburg is a place where many Croatians were killed in 1945 by the hands of Yugoslav( read Serbian) Army whose leader was at that time Josip Broz Tito a communist war criminal.
Thanks for the information!
