""Silent Gods" is as much a song about duality as about loneliness. It's a fiery trip through beginnings, endings, destruction, reconstruction, gathering, separation, self-discovery, self-alienation and the connection and disconnection from a blazing light where the detachment is a link to something else that needs to be explored. From Silent Gods, the split album BIGOD with the incredible Minsk was born, who also contributed mesmerising vocals at the showdown of this track, as is the first of four compositions that was created. An epic opus, carrier of impulses and a relief for a dark soul." - Frederyk Rotter (guitar/vocals)
Two bands from two continents, two very different worlds and histories, but in many ways they have occupied parallel universes. Both have forged their own paths forward for over fifteen years. Both have released four albums. Both seek transcendence and deep places in their explorations, uncompromising in their vision, both reveling in their beautiful noise.
On BIGOD, Minsk (USA) and Zatokrev (CH/EU) deliver a joint effort, a deliberative and collaborative intention to reflect their innermost expressions, another search for deeper meaning in the here and now through beautiful psychedelic melancholy paired with the heaviest walls of sound and creative destructiveness. Their shared passion and aesthetics gave rise to the idea for the split album BIGOD. The work creates a new spirit, one who unites two dark souls and joins two paths into one. Here, both bands contribute two epic songs, both receiving vocal support from the other.
To complete the work, Parisian artist, Max Loriot, has created an extraordinary visual realization of BIGOD's theme, a compelling and interpretive take on the allegorical story of Elijah's fiery chariot. Two horses with their own will, a burning chariot with no horseman, the spirit fire of creation.
