Interview: Thunraz's Madis Jalakas Brings the Baltic Gloom via 'Incineration Day' - Decibel Magazine
The sole proprietor of Estonia’s Thunraz discusses the sepulchral, avante-sludge gauntlet of his latest, Incineration Day.
www.decibelmagazine.com
Definitely the biggest thing that's happened since I've been doing this project. Among the topics discussed is my background, influences and evolution as a musician, the new record, as well as what the future holds for Thunraz. Enjoy.
Not many labels out there that take chances these days and Crucial Blast has been one of the longest-running & most daring:

It's Bandcamp Friday again, which means all proceeds go to the artist. I'll make special mention of this record, which stands out as the most wild/experimental work in my catalog. Feel free to check out any of the others as well.

Support a good cause.
In 2022, some friends asked if I would contribute art for a comp. The funds raised go to a nonprofit formed to support Ukrainian volunteers delivering aid to & evacuating victims of the war in the most dangerous areas of Ukraine: fuzzypanda.bandcamp.com/album/noise-... thx to Ilya & Ivan 💙💛

100% support what these guys are doing, not just because the drummer played on my record. Lots of surprises here, from straightforward brutality to surprisingly emotional acoustic sections with some great singing. There's a melancholy that is very recognizable in my own music as well.

The best review I've received (perhaps ever?)
"The howls of a skinless Page Hamilton reverberate into a void as the sweaty sore-covered Stanier bangs upon his skull with two femurs; an eyeless Wojciech Szymański feverishly joins the drum circle as the torches burn; the verdict is proclaimed."

Incineration Day comes in at #8 in the overall rankings, right behind the mighty Convulsing who put out my personal favorite record of the year. This is a very extensive list with a lot of variety and already I've discovered some amazing records because of it. Check it out.
