==================

'Hydronaut' lyrics:

Come by my side, my fellow, join me
Breathe silent air in fading shades
The tranquil view of our journey
Giving away our future's shape

Let's watch the sunset till it's midday
The nature clearly lost its mind
We've not much time before creation
Of nothing of a human kind

As smoke dispersed, the blue still draws us
Into the depths of myriad lives
We need not hurry, we are flawless
Enough to make these endless miles
We'll be drifting in the currents
Of the ocean of our thoughts
High and soft, the waves will bring us
To the knowledge of outer worlds

It's hot, we're bored, and time's gone backwards
Allowing us to make a pause
But still we're restless rushing forward
Chasing our fate without a cause

Oh will we ever understand
The loud people yelling 'round?
We're forced to smile and shake our hands
With those who don't respect the sounds

==================

Story told by Rodion Tsirka (guitar):

“It all started with a dense swampy riff that I came up with on April 20, 2016. I wanted to post a video on my YouTube channel that day, so I washed the dishes thoroughly, picked up a downtuned guitar and started playing. Right off the bat, the main riff came out.

On May 1, using the “range hood” method and having returned to the uptuned Shiva-tuning, I got out of my head almost all other parts of the future track. The method is that I record the main riff using a looper, leave it in the living room to play the loop, go to the kitchen, turn on the range hood fan at a speed at which I can barely hear the riff, and wash the dishes. After these five to ten minutes, melodies "derivative" of the main riff start playing in my head. The next step is to let myself simmer in those for a little, then come back to the living room, quickly turn off the looper and take the guitar just in time to figure out everything still playing in my head. In a way, the range hood fan works like a subway ride after a rehearsal — it has its own sonic range that can be relied on as a support on which something similar to what's stuck in my head after a rehearsal starts to play.

So, there was this initial dense swampy guitar riff, and then a swampy dense bass riff emerged from it, layered by a light guitar intro. Actually, the whole track is a result of mixing something dense and swampy with something light and airy.

Then, with the guys, the verses were developed where the harmony moved somewhere and not always stayed in one place, as it often happened with my riffs back then, and the lyrics were written.

My initial idea was much thicker and slower, but together we made a song that significantly expanded the range of emotions it initially covered.”

==================

Shiva the Destructor is releasing their long-expected first full-length album — Find the Others. This release was preceded by their debut EP titled Supreme Light, which went public in fall 2015 and was quite warmly received by the audience.

Band members get inspired by layers of rock culture of the last decades, make their own points and deliver their take on the quintessence of psychedelic rock — extended instrumental pieces, eclecticism of composition, vocal harmonies and band's experiments with the electric organ, brass and oriental instruments. Their unique sonic armament is guitars with distinctly different tunings (one detuned and one uptuned), which makes the mix more generous and diverse.

After a long pause between releases, Nirvana Beach — the first single from the new album — was released last December exclusively as part of Robustfellow Sampler 2019.
