Pásmo's mesmerizing debut self-titled album (originally released in spring 2024 on cassette by the Czech label Vřesová Studánka and now finding its first ever vinyl release) is an unparalleled voyage crafted through the mediums of dark post-punk and arcane heavy metal into the remote landscapes and mystique of the fading ex-soviet Eastern Bloc. Eight songs unraveling visions of soviet industrial ruins, abandoned factories, and dissolving concrete buildings scattered amongst the band’s native Moravian-Silesian region's wild nature, and consumed far beyond, eastward more into the relics of the old Soviet horizon reclaimed by nature and falling into dusty memory. An encompassing of Eastern European culture condensed into thirty five minutes of dark musical storytelling and spiritual reconnection to the "Zone" (or "Pásmo", in Czech). The epic crust punk of Amebix and Killing Joke's apocalyptic post-punk transposed into the crumbling atomic bunkers, abandoned mines, and industrial rusted ruins of the Eastern wilderness. The visions, sounds and legacy of Chernobyl and "Stalker" transfigured into shamanic mountain rock music. Echoes of Master's Hammer's occult heavy metal reverberating through abandoned factories, streams, valleys and waterfalls. Yugoslavian long-lost punk and metal, gipsy punk like VHK/Galloping Coroners, Belarusian dark post-punk like Molchat Doma and Russian melancholic new wave like Kino dissolving into a frenzied sonic continuum where infectious melodies celebrating a cherished birthplace are woven into a dark canvas of stark history and ominous memories from the past, embracing sinister presages from the present and future, coming once again into the Zone from beyond the Russian borders...
