Neuropolis.

Neurons lab.

Girtruide slowly tapped away at the computer, humming to try and block out the blaring alarms as she tried to find files about the Olympiad Guard, there had to be something on these computers.

As she tapped away, she spotted her own name and smiled, opening the file and started reading.... And was confused. It mentioned brain scan and DNA, of multiple primal earths.... Paragon Protector? Crey industries? Looked like Neuron was keeping to his habit of stealing others tech for his own... Even if it was flawed compared to some of the stuff Antimatter made.

As she read the file, it was like chunks of her memory where unfolding, Girtruide Seraph, wife of Patricia White, mother of two.... But something happened, that version of primal earth was cut off some how, but there was plenty of data on this Girtruide.... She had friends, family..... But she was a copy of this woman... And by the looks of it, heavily flawed.

There was mentions of Tiliaman's attempts at psycho surgery, but something went wrong, she was taken off the guard and given PR duties.... Was she brain damaged? She chewed her lip and kept reading.

She had to get out of Preatoria, maybe meet these Seraph's.... If she could get to the right Primal Earth. Hearing footsteps, she put her first through the computer and turned as several of Neuron's clockwork filled in. Putting her helmet back on, she waved her hand. "You just missed the resistance members, they where hear to steal top secret data!"

The clockwork scanned the room, then as one raised their arms, miniature flame projectors folding out.

"Well..... Worth a try." She muttered as they opened fire, flames licking at her super suit as she stepped and brought her first into a hammer blow on the first clockworks head, crumpling it as she stepped into the midst of them.... Maybe she could tell her lie to a PPD member if she saw one.... Assuming she still had a good rep in the loyalists eyes after this.

I visited the Krištof Kintera ‘The End of Fun!’ exhibit at the IKON gallery. I found it really interesting especially the use of everyday objects. In the large piece Kintera simulated an entire city by just using electrical components. In some of the text the word “exteriorisation” really stood out to me and is something that I’d like to explore further. I thought the reflection of one of the pieces meant to look like a child was really interesting.

Neuropolis

[thesociologicalcinema]

The Neuropolis is an image of the city embedded in neuropsychological concepts and histories, but it also describes an embodied set of (sometimes pathological) relations and effects that take places between cities and the people who live in them. ~ Des Fitzgerald, Nikolas Rose andIlina Singh, "Living well in the Neuropolis" (x)

In Russia, A Belated Doom & Stoner Halloween!

Review by Anton Bryukov

Photographs by Nadegda Holodnaya

Doom & Stoner Halloween took place on the 11th of December. The gig had been postponed due to COVID-related restrictions which were in effect in Moscow in late October.

The audience gathered at Peak Sound club to listen to some doom this cold, snowy evening. Desolate Music Promo Group organized the event. Desolate Music is well-known for organizing doom-metal festivals in Moscow.

Soul Chariot

The first band to play was Soul Chariot, a relatively new name in the scene. They unleashed the thundering sound of traditional doom metal on the listeners. The drive and energy of the songs got the crowd moving. They ended the show with a cover of Pentagram’s “Forever My Queen.”

Train To Elsewhere

The band in which I play – Train to Elsewhere – took the stage after that. We play a mix of traditional doom metal and gothic doom, focusing on the old-school atmospheric sound. We played some of our songs from the debut “Samhain” album and new stuff like “Hades” and “Blues.”

heXenblatt

heXenblatt continued the evening with the mix of occult stoner-sludge doom which quickly filled the air with its presence. People slammed, moved to the music, and were in a hypnotic state on the slower parts of the performance.

Through the Woods by Hexenblatt

Autumn Woods

Next up were Autumn Woods, they performed a modern sounding mix of groove metal and doom-death. It could be called the earnings fastest performance bordering on faster styles of metal. A very technical, professional live set.

Doomed By Loneliness by Autumn Woods

Neuropolis

Neuropolis from Saint-Petersburg stormed in after that. They were definitely the heaviest act of the show. The gloomy and dark sounding doom-death was matched by the superb theatrical performance of the vocalist. They performed songs from both the “Golem” album and the debut EP.

Golem by NEUROPOLIS

Thunder Volt

The evening was closed by Thunder Volt who performed a unique mix of stoner-grunge doom. Having a lot in common with the music of the late 80-s and the early 90-s, the band has a tendency to play anthems and dirges of the doom-grunge fusion they are known for. This evening they have added a bit more sludge/hardcore punk into the mix.

Doomed & Stoned in RUSSIA Volume Two

Doomed & Stoned in Russia (Vol. 2) by Doomed and Stoned Records

As with any good sequel our team had a task to continue the formula established in Part I while bringing something new to the table. Part II is another look into Russia's vast doom scene and contains bands from all over the country.

From the legendary heroic Viking myth of Scald to the dark pessimistic underground experiments of Voidwards, Part II contains the entire specter of doom metal. This time around we had quite a few sludge and stoner bands, and the darker side is represented by a few top-notch funeral doom contributions.

While containing some big "headliners" the overall compilation is more of an exploration of the underground. When gathering the material I noticed once again how authentic and honest our doom scene is. People who play Doom believe in what they do. That authenticity is what is most important.

We had people who recorded exclusive tracks and some tracks which have already achieved legendary status. We are especially grateful to Voj, who are arguably the first band in the world to play funeral doom, for contributing a track to the compilation -- as we are thankful to every band who participated.

Alexey Sivitsky of Godlike Ikons continued the theme of the Russian folk tales and has contributed superb artwork depicting Kashchey the Deathless. This character is known to the listeners of classical music from the opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. This archetypal character may date back as early as the 12th century myths. The lore behind him makes this antagonist a perfect character for the cover art.

As a whole the compilation has more urban and stoner notes compared to a more northern and even folkish vibe that the first volume had. It may sound a bit heavier. But here remains the main task of documenting the Russian Doom scene which we set out to do in Part I.

At the outer reaches of weird cosmic worlds and in abandoned crypts and churches, in vast snowy fields and forests, in smoke filled flats and late-night bars, the integral lyrical theme of Doom remains the subject of the lyrics. This two-part journey has been quite a unique experience for our team. Getting in touch with all the people who make our favorite genre of slow heavy music possible, has led to the discovery of many new names and outstanding songs. We hope that the listeners of the compilation will as well discover something for themselves.

Editor's Note: Be sure to check out the brand new live album by Train To Elsewhere, just released! It's a fantastic introduction to the band's sound and will give you a feel for their vibrant presence in concert. (Billy Goate)

THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW

~Season 5, Episode 26~

The year is 2022. The world is much hotter, food much scarcer, more crowded with people who have to sleep on the streets and in stairwells in overpopulated cities. In this hellscape, one intrepid detective named Thorn and his faithful "book" Saul seek to solve the murder of a socialite named Simonson. In the process the uncover a horrifying truth that could topple Governor Santini's regime and upset the fragile order of civilization. The truth of...Soylent Green.

As part of our Doomed Cinema series, Billy Goate has reimagined the soundtrack for the 1973 film with Charlton Heston and Edgar G. Robinson, an eclectic mix of futuristic synthwave, industrial metal, stoner rock, doom and sludge.

Doomed & Stoned in Russia with Neuropolis

~By Billy Goate~

Photographs by Darja Fetisova

I like to keep my finger on the pulse of scenes around the world, especially those that are lesser known in the light of the mainstream. For the past three or four years, for instance, we've been covering events like the Sludge Convention and Tune Low, Play Slow in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Russia has a thriving heavy underground that trends towards dark, dank sludgy doom, much of it with a hardcore or southern rock twist.

Support for local gigs is robust compared to what most bands experience in the States. Alice in Chains just played their first gig ever in Moscow and it was incredible to see the fast crowd singing along with every song (yes, even the new ones). Bands in the doom-stoner scene such as Acid King, Eyehategod, and Elder have, in recent years, taken the long trek into what was once forbidden territory to perform before a most grateful (and highly involved) audience.

The homegrown scene is no less impressive, though much of it is tragically unknown outside of local circles. Some have broken free from obscurity, like The Grand Astoria, and more and more people are sharing the likes of The Re-Stoned, Dekonstruktor (formerly The Moon Mistress), Pressor, Stoner Train, Tsygun, Without God, Lord of Doubts, ИЛ, Illegal Ones, C.X., Phantomass, 609, and Fuzzthrone on the socials.

This is the point at which we're introduced to a fresh face in the doom scene, a six-member crew called NEUROPOLIS. I happened upon them while browsing a Russian-language metal forum one afternoon, which led me to a YouTube video for the EP, 'Temptation' (2019), which itself was quite the unexpected emotional odyssey of peaks and valleys. Take a listen for yourself:

Temptation (Искушение) by NEUROPOLIS

Perhaps the band got lucky their first go around and composed a masterpiece of doom with deft touches of death. Perhaps there is more greatness awaiting in the creative well of these young musicians. Regardless, the time is ripe to get to know them all better. In the process, we're afforded a rare window into the St. Petersburg heavy underground and the cultural distinctives that are shaping the Russian doomers of today.

Doom resonates with our worldview and perception.

It has already become an integral part of us

Take us underneath the soil, into the roots of Neuropolis. How did it all begin for you as a band?

Now it is difficult to note any one of the band's stages of existence as an absolute foundation point. Every one of us has been creative, mostly in music, before we became a band. The first crew, from which our band slowly began to develop, was formed approximately five years ago. It was a naive time of experiments and searching for sound. Kim, Freakedelic, and Dmitry (the former vocalist of the group, whom we jokingly call Maestro), arranged jam sessions together, tried and eventually learned to play instruments, and worked on their first songs ("Heaven in Hell," "Secret Paradise," "Killing Machine"). Then the guys gave their first concert in a bar called ZIS and got a couple of whiskey shots for their fee.

After this, due to internal contradictions and uncertain life circumstances, Freakedelic left the band, devoting himself to spiritual practices and psychedelic experiments. Our band hasn’t got him back for a very long time. In those days, the number of session musicians, bassists, and drummers has changed and two concerts were given in clubs Ulitsa and Money Honey. None of the invited musicians, however, could find their place in the group.

In 2017, Freakedelic, who achieved enlightenment, returned to the band together with his wife, Miroslava Antonova (aka DegraDante), who began to play keys, and Maestro brought in a new bass guitarist, Sergey Berezhansky (aka Sotona, aka Diversant). In such a composition, the band recorded its first single in mid-2018: "Surf (Priboy)." This was an important stage in the history of the band, which can be considered the moment of foundation.

By that time, the name of the band had already existed -- Neuropolis. After the release of "Surf" online, a concert was held in the club Banka and one was planned in the club ROUTE148, but difficulties arose. Maestro was fired from our band for his inappropriate behavior and his personal ambitions based on nothing. A week before our concert, the band was left without a vocalist. Sotona invited his old friend Vladimir Alekseev (aka "V") to scream into the microphone at the rep and he immediately made an impression on us with his pitch, and especially the frail, deep lyrics that he immediately wrote for three old versions of songs. We decided that V would perform at ROUTE148 with Neuropolis.

In just a week, a new song was written and the old material was reworked. It was the beginning of the modern history of Neuropolis, which lasts to this day. At the end of 2018, rhythm guitarist Valentin Rebrov (aka "Verghil Alighieri") joined our band. He was invited to our concert by the keyboardist, having just moved from Sakhalin (almost from the other side of the world). He had few friends, so he was interested and offered to write an Intro to one of our songs. Then he decided to become our rhythm guitarist and contributed a lot of good stuff to our band and music. Given the crew we work with today -- and the release our debut EP, 'Temptation' (2019) with V’s lyrics -- there isn’t any reason to for us to break up the band.

This is our sad six-person party in the basement

What was you goal in creating new music together? Did you specifically choose to play music in the doom genre?

We do not think that each of us himself has chosen doom as a genre. Many of us like heavy music: someone is fond of black metal, someone of thrash, someone of death, and someone likes specifically doom. You may like different music, but when you start to create it, it is so-so -- like it comes out of you and if there isn’t one person in the band, the result depends on the preferences of each, so it is a kind of the general mood quintessence. We made doom that sounds quite old-school.

In the end, each of us has his own interests and motivations: for one it is a hobby and profit, for another a leisure time with an instrument in his hands, for the third it is an opportunity to work in a certain genre niche, the opportunity to improve his composing talent. For still others of us it is an opportunity to express emotions in a musical and poetic form. The atmosphere of the genre, its emotional component, is sometimes striking, and in some forms of this genre -- from the smallest detail to the greatest effort -- is worth it to do.

The musicians who love all of these different styles have met and have made doom, therefore it must be fate. The most interesting thing is that doom never bothers us, it resonates with our worldview and perception, it has already become an integral part of us -- minor viscous riffs, powerful drums, texts permeated with doom. This is our sad six-person party in the basement.

Air here is saturated with the fall of several empires and thousands of crippled destinies of young people.

'Temptation' has some very sad and moving moments, indeed. What inspired you to write this pair of songs?

Our first EP is imbued with the spirit of the city we live in, the spirit of St. Petersburg. Life here leaves a certain imprint on perception. We live in a rather shitty climate between the Gulf of Finland and Ladoga Lake. It is cloudy and rainy here, with sunny days in the year limited to about 50. This northern city is considered one of the most depressing in Russia, while it bears the title of the cultural capital of the country. This explosive combination -- depression and creativity -- such mood is close to Scandinavians (Swedes, Norwegians, Danes). But, in addition to the weather, we have a huge area decorated with monuments, cathedrals, buildings, and grotesque mythical figures of granite, which lie on a huge variety of islands, canals, and stone waterfronts.

The air here is saturated with the spirit of the fall -- the fall of several empires, thousands of crippled destinies of young people. The soul of this location is impossible to express through the textbooks. It penetrates inside of us throughout life. Through our creativity we broadcast it.

In addition, if we exclude the influence on our music of recognized masters of doom metal (and their influence is undeniable), such as Candlemass, Saturnus, Katatonia, Saint Vitus, and Black Sabbath, there is something else that inspires us. Here is just the question of whether we will draw inspiration from life. Yes, we draw it from the experience of our own lives. It happened so that each participant of Neuropolis has had quite a difficult fate -- alcohol, drugs, hospitals, wars, suicide, loss. We have seen some shit. Almost every living inhabitant of the planet Earth is faced with these things. This, of course, could not but affect our music and our lyrics. The lyrics of our songs are always permeated with references to both religious texts and masterpieces of classical literature. It's not as easy as it might seem. We're working on every word. And Kim and Verghil sometimes just write good riffs.

This seems like a good time to introduce us to the individual members of the band and tell us what instruments, gear, and amps you all use.

Vladimir Alekseev (aka V) -- vocals, lyrics. Before meeting the musicians, Neuropolis wrote sad lyrics and worked on a solo album in the genre of psychedelic rock. Suddenly, he felt a desire to experiment with extreme vocals and to play old-school doom metal. Microphones: Oktava MK-319, Shure Beta 58A.

Valentin Rebrov (aka Vergil Alighieri) -- guitar, arrangements. Arrived from the other end of the world and joined Neuropolis in late-2018, proving himself as a good sound engineer, reliable guitarist, and talented arranger. Guitar: Schecter Omen-7 Walnut with stock pickups. Pedals: AMT Heater + AMT B2 + AMT Pangaea CP-100

Alexey Antonov (aka Freakedelic Anvy) -- drums. Our drummer is also one of the band's founders. This guy really has seen some shit and in some shit had to play. His custom-crafted drum kit was used to record our Temptation EP, with its iron ED Cymbals Legat and Pearl Eliminator Redline pedal. In everyday life and for gigs he uses a hi-hat Paiste 303, 201 Paiste ride, crash Sabian El Sabor, and Pearl Eliminator. "There was some experience using Axis," he says, "but the chain drive was closer to me."

Dmitriy Kim (aka Kim) -- guitar. One of the founding fathers of Neuropolis. The most beautiful riffs are his job. Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul Custom with prophecy Pickups - EMG 81/85. Guitar processor: Zoom G5n.

Sergey Berezhansky (aka Sotona, aka Diversant) -- bassist, millionaire, playboy, philanthropist. He has two bass-guitars -- the first very strange ESP The Surveyor (there are doubts in originality) and Fender Precision Bass'82 -- plus a rather unique "craft" guitar. Despite its mystique, the ESP sounds pretty good for its price. "Well, Fender just made me happy with a single touch to the strings," he remarks. "In general, this is the very case when playing the guitar, is the great pleasure of the instrument. I use processor Boss GT-1B. It satisfies me completely. I used the delay pedal, but with the help of the processor, this no need to use a separate pedal. And the presence of preamp removed some inconveniences with connecting to different guitar speakers in different rehearsal rooms."

Miroslava Antonova (aka Degradante) -- vocals, lyrics, keyboards. Originally from Ukraine, she met Freakadelic in a chat and moved to St. Petersburg. Instruments: Diapason (mezzo soprano), Akai MPC mkII MIDI keyboard, PC, and reaper. Microphones: Oktava MK-319, Shure Beta 58A.

Some delicate ears do not stand up and bleed a bit from what they hear.

Well, you are certainly loaded for bear! Have you turned your attention to composing new material for an upcoming record?

Good question. We don't want to work on anything else, but it seems to be necessary, because it is stronger than drugs. (laughs) At the moment, we are working on a new EP, Golem, which we plan to release in the fall. This release will be different from EP Temptation, with a sharper, heavier sound. Presumably the Golem will be four new killer songs in the genre of death-doom. We have already recorded some demo tracks for the new EP. Some songs have lyrics, but there is no music and vice versa. Some are completely ready for studio recording. We hope to surprise those who liked our first release.

We want to bring doom metal out of the underground.

What is life like for a heavy music artist in Saint Petersburg? Do people understand your music or is the heavy music scene more of an "underground" phenomenon?

The life of a musician playing heavy music in St. Petersburg is like trying to give people vitamins, while everyone wants to eat a triple burger with sauce. Some delicate ears do not stand up and bleed a bit from what they hear. It's not bad, we love blood -- it's beautiful.

Music takes a lot of time and money, especially when you do something ideological and conceptual, not mainstream. The genre in which we play is not common here. Our music can really be called underground. This is the trend of our time: there is more in fashion pop music and light indie rock, which is convenient to play in bars and clubs. Such music helps the owner of the clubs to sell more alcohol. But we are still a young band, we hope to find like-minded people and organize concerts together. After the release of the second EP we will pay a lot of attention to concert activity. We want to bring doom metal out of the underground and are ready to make a lot of effort, not only in terms of sound, but also in terms of visual performance.

They come to us after the concerts to thank, praise, and even scold us.

Take is into your scene and tell us about some bands you play with that you might recommend to our listeners.

Freakadelic recommends cool Moscow guys Kamni. They play great stoner metal, although in recent years they trend more and more towards psychedelic rock. V recommends Arkona. This is a well-known Russian band. We haven’t not played on the same stage with them, but maybe someday we will be lucky to do it. Arkona's guitarist helped us with the EP Temptation, as we are close to his vision of heavy music. Degradante recommends a wonderful St. Petersburg band Theodor Bastard. Although it is not metal, the guys are original, with a gorgeous sound and interesting vocals. And also black metal collective Second To Sun.

We played with different bands, but we have never met anyone like us. Sometimes we saw a lack of understanding in the eyes of the listeners who came to have a rest after a hard day, but sometimes we saw interest in their eyes. There are all kinds of feedback: they come to us after the concerts to thank, praise, and even scold us, so we are doing something right. This world needs us.
