Kirpiklass is another rather well-known project that mixes dark ambient, ritual industrial and traditional folk which has escaped my attention until recently. This split w/ Eschato-Logic is probably not the best release to start getting into their discography but, conceptually, it's pretty close to that album by Saraf I've posted recently. It's based on Permic (Komi) and Ugric folklore and folk horror, and the alphabet on the cover seems to be anbur (first time I see it being used in modern times). As a whole, it's best described as "shamanic ambient", with Eschato-Logic tracks being mostly spoken word (probably not everyone's cup of tea, I admit).
