There are musical groups for which it is necessary to mature. And there are albums that need to mature. Four years after the release of the last full-length album, bypassing a series of collaborations and experiments with like-minded Patimat Khripa, Vintersolverv and The Noktulians, Majdanek Waltz returns with a new album. The album, the songs for which were composed about ten years ago, during the classical works of the project, has found its final form now: verified, very personal, chamber. The musicians left behind noise landscapes and experiments with sound, presenting an emotional, almost completely acoustic sound canvas, again recalling the reason why they were once called "the best group of Russian dark folk."

Nineteen people took part in the recording of the album, among others, Andrzej Zakharishchev von Brausch (Obermaneken), Alexander Ionov (Fire, Region-77), Alexey and Elena Sheptunovs (Moon Far Away).
Mastering by Jhonnie Kratong (Romowe Rikoito, Kratong).

The album was published in three formats: a standard CD, a limited-edition cassette in a cardboard box and a collector's two-disc edition in a mini-vinyl envelope, supplemented by the single "Your Traits" ("Твои Черты") and a set of four postcards.

Aleister Crowley's poems translated into Russian were first published in 2017 – the same year we release the album on which musicians inspired by his works create their sonic dedication. This album was created by Russian dark scene musicians who have never met before but have been following each other's activities for a long time – Majdanek Waltz and Denis Tretyakov. The latter professes his own religion which implies faith in a mole as an underground deity. Being the leader of two bands – "Tserkov' Detstva (Church of Childhood)" and "Bratya Tuluzovy (The Tuluzov Brothers)" – for the first time he acted as a reciter of poems. Majdanek Waltz from Ryazan' remembered their early musical experiments and primary sources of inspiration. Priceless support was granted by the secret musical project The Noktulians. The final black balance was masterfully adjusted by the member of Reutoff and Otzepenevshiye – ArSch aka Myrrman. Apart from all other obvious jubilees and important round dates, 2017 marks the 70-year anniversary of Aleister Crowley's death. This recording should close the gap of the jubilee list of the year. Instead of the always fashionable red stars better use this black digipak. Put it in windows, nail it to the front door, take it with you wherever you go. "Every man and every woman is a star". https://kultfront.bandcamp.com/album/pentagram?fbclid

Those who have been following the work of Majdanek Waltz, usually notice evolution of their ark, complexity of the structure of the compositions, strength and mature of reflection, the depth of sound, all this quality increases from album to album and not an exaggeration to say that with "Nachtlied" group revealed deeper their potential.

"Nachtlied" in a good way very cinematic album that draws more than hour-long picture, which we hope will please fans of the band, as well as us. Pavel Blyumkin characteristic vocal accompaniment neoclassicism, neofolk, dark ambient, martial ... to give a description of the project by means of music tags has long been a pointless, but corporate identity MW still remains easily recognizable.
