This week, Tim Yusupov of OLHAVA joins me on The Smashing Skull Sessions for a chat, ahead of the release of their highly anticipated album, Sacrifice on 26th January.Every Olhava release brings with it a blizzard of glorious, atmospheric post-black fury that's married perfectly with lush, ambient soundscapes, and let me tell you, Sacrifice doesn't disappoint!! With so much to discuss, Tim gives me an insight into the writing process for this latest opus, along with the hardships and obstacles that stood in their way over the last 18months. And of course, we also discuss TRNA, Somn, Reverb on Repeat, and the whole St. Petersburg scene....sure it would be rude not to!!Available as always on YouTube and all good streaming platforms.Track played : Eternal Fire, ©️ Olhava, all rights reserved.Edited and produced by Richie Duhig of The Metal Cell Podcast.ALWAYS SUPPORTING THE SCENE rock #metal #interview #newmusic #interviews #alwayssupportingthescene #supporttheartists #allaboutthemusic #postrock #postmetal #death #doom #drone #blackmetal #blackgaze #stoner #atmosphericmetal #shoegaze #olhava #trna #somn
