Russian Post-Black Metal duo Olhava have returned with new studio album Sacrifice almost exactly two years after the release of their album Reborn. It was recently released by Avantgarde Music on CD, LP, and digitally.

Clocking in at the impressive length of eighty-six minutes, Sacrifice is a collection of “long, mesmerizing and melancholic anthems” with Blackgaze elements.

As Olhava describe it:

‘Sacrifice’ is the necessary step for one to be ‘Reborn’. It’s the ultimate point of no return. Everything one used to value will turn to ash and be forgotten. For only by stripping ourselves of everything we know and have can we truly separate our Self from our Ego. Only by burning ourselves can we enjoy peace among stars. But the end is also the beginning. Beginning of new values, a new self built from dust.
