Presentation of new album “The Binding”

Meldis presents its new album «The Binding» on the 26th of January at the​ CC DOM! The concert starts at 7.30 pm.

The binding…​ Binding of a book full of fascinating stories, legends and fairy tales, tales of love, hard​ choices and risky adventures. Facts​ and fables. For each song in the new album is a​ story in itself, a story that becomes real… but only​ while it​ lasts.​ Magical Celtic ornaments are intertwining on the cover of the famous Book of Kells; people are dancing at Breton fest-noz, their shadows intertwining and covering the ground; intertwined fingers and strings of Celtic harp…​ Meldis invites you to a new journey​ — an intense, fascinating journey that carries you away like a bright​ mesmerizing dance! Reach Scottish heathland, travel across the sea to Breton lighthouses, climb​ mountain ranges of the proud Basque Country, enter an Italian fair on a baking-hot day, stand still at the icy sound of an​ echo amidst​ Russian forests, hear ancient dwarf prophecy about the return of the king​ under the mountain…

The following artists took part​ in the recording of the album:

Sergey Klevenskiy (whistles and bagpipe)
Kirill Rossolimo (percussion)
Yuriy Ruslanov (vocals)
Yang Kurzanov (double bass)
and others

The concert will take place in a warm atmosphere of CC DOM, located 4 minutes away from Novokuznetskaya metro station.
