Yat-Kha, from the remote Russian republic of Tuva, presents its eighth album. Albert Kuvezin's ultra-low variant of Tuvan throat singing, in the kargyraa or kanzat style, still remains the unique feature of Yat-Kha's mixture of traditional folk music and experimental roots rock.

On this new album Kuvezin is accompanied by his long-term musical accomplice Sholban Mongush on igil (a bowed horsehair 2-string cello) and backing vocals. Besides original compositions, the album features words gathered from the sayings and incantations of Tuvan shamans - whose traditions form an unbroken lineage dating back to the neolithic period. It also features covers of Black Sabbath's 'Solitude' and George Harrison's 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' - two songs sometimes played as an encore on live shows.

An extraordinary band who in many ways blazed a trail since the early 1990's for many new and interesting East Asian rock music artists and experimenters such as Mongolian metal-rock band The Hu.

"We Will Never Die" was recorded in southern Germany in the Faust Studio of Krautrock legend Hans-Joachim Irmler. Digipak.
