Label: Inner Demons Records
I was unfamiliar with this artist, but they hail from Moscow, Russia and describe themselves as a "Dark techno project." The label describes the release thus: "This project is a dreamy, hazy nightmare that tells the story of the real and virtual worlds of the post-apocalyptic Soviet Union after nuclear war. It explores abandoned networks filled with sentient remnants of once-human inhabitants, introduces posthuman horrors, and leaves the listener with a hypnotic, eerie, and slightly unsettling taste." Well, let's give it a listen and see what we have here.

I am old enough to remember duck and cover drills and living with the specter of nuclear holocaust hanging over us. This release consists of one 3-minute track, "Black Key," and the music is nowhere as bleak as what I was expecting. This is some good heavy, melodic techno-industrial. If you miss the mixture of industrial and goth that Cleopatra Records used to throw down, this may scratch that itch. This makes me want to hear more from the artist, which is always a good start.
