Deep Winter

Flying in the face of sage noiselessness are Deep Winter, a garage rock duo from the industrial center of Izhevsk. Created only last year, the group consists of two men: Pavel "Blacktown" - on vocal and drums - together with Alexander Kurusin, both playing guitar and providing vocal support. Happy to credit their influences, Blacktown and Kurusin lean enthusiastically towards classic rock in the spirit of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Black Sabbath. To that archival list they add those bands who've either drawn heavily upon that tradition (White Stripes) or have simply reemployed figures from the same, greying generation (Them Crooked Vultures).
Nice f***in'g sound, guys!
Deep Winter's growing appeal - cast in English-language texts and within a recognizable canon - slowly moves overseas. Soundcloud already offers a few snapshots of what Western listeners are beginning to appreciate: one listener even declares that "the Russians are once again a world superpower"(!). From Mexico we hear: "Nice f***ing sound, guys! Rock 'n' roll... cheers from Cancun!" On an even more spontaneous level, a third distant fan proclaims: "I like that sh*t... sexy and heavy!" Against the backdrop of silence, introspection, and anxiety, impetuous noise seems better. - Far From Moscow
