Copies are available from CD Baby.

Please do not send an Add Request if you already have several thousand friends for no conceivable reason; your only contact with women is the porn stars you've added as your top friends; your style of music requires that your band appear in photos in a single line wearing black t-shirts with indicipherable white logos on them; or you just seem an odd fit for Gydja's themes and music. If it seems like you come under any of these categories and would still like to be added as a friend, perhaps an explanatory private message to coincide with the Add Request is in order.
New Vetvei label release: Vresnit : Vjuga.Ljet.Duj.
Vetvei, V05, CD-R, Ltd181. 8-sided red paperboard booklet + А5 insert. 19 copies include 4 color A5 inserts.
Sky and Earth meld into one where Vjuga Ljet Duj begun with a moment when nestling will begin to see,and then their Mothers give clear statements. Tightly wrapped it soars down, like a raven and enters the House through the roots. It is a journey-exploration and proclaiming each of 9 lines stated in Circle. With deep vibrations we enchant the symbols seen in dreams and ask the people who never spoken using words.Rough ritual ambient sung by voices of three worlds animals and shaped in acoustic-analog form. Iron percussion,loud words of caves and dimensions wrapped in smoke scent. We look after and expect, glorify the Law a song with inexhaustibility of form and content.

As the apex of Spring heralds awakenings, Halo Manash emerges from Winter and hibernation ~ Treefaced. Horns spiral skyward and antlers ascend. A tripartite trunk arises – a pillar that splits all worlds.
Am Kha Astrie, a work of heliotropic, elemental ambient, is an opening, an awakening, a summoning, a crossing of thresholds. After their previous oneiric and minimal album, Am Kha Astrie sees Halo Manash re-integrate a more diverse instrumentation and a multiplicity of soundsources to create their work, which consists of seven interrelated tracks. Am Kha Astrie is a complete work in itself, but can also be viewed as the second facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation.
Archaic elemental drums, bones and spiraling animal horns merge with various metal percussions, chimes, wind-instruments, voices and a multitude of other instruments to create a deep, earthly and yet celestially-bound opus. Am Kha Astrie is a massive and sometimes ominous work, a primal experience of coming-into-being, with all the terror, ecstasy and divine awe that it implies.
Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 1000 copies.
