In the mid-late 2010s I was honored to release a split 7" by the Russian emo-violence band Улыбайся Ветру (hereby referred to as their English name Smile To The Wind) followed by their full length effort and final release 'Illusions' on 12". It's been a tough few years waiting for the members to revisit this style of music, and in late 2022 I was sent their new incarnation Ясность (hereby referred to as Lucidity) featuring members of Smile To The Wind, Euglena, Crossbringer, The Homeless Is Dead, Mayak, Namatjira, etc. 'Минское море' (aka 'The Minsk Sea') is a seven-track 12" that is the new benchmark in screamo/emo-violence. Zegema Beach Records sold more than 75% of the pressing in the first few days. As of this posting we have less than 20 copies left, linked here. Things discussed in this podcast: Beatles and Rammsteinn, each members' past bands, falling in love with Converge at the hospital, the different shades of Cave In, shifting from Smile To The Wind to Lucidity: members, presentation, tone, lyrics, etc., the Kidcrash hole, the importance of the Ikar reunion show, how this band is basically Guitar Hero, Serpent Column's screamo/black-metal solo project conspiracy, and more! Bands played in this podcast: Capsule, Cave In, Choke, Converge, Shora, and The Wind In The Trees. Listen to podcast #113 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
