"For whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence; and things mean and splendid exist alike." – Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
December 31, 2009 - RAIG is proud to announce Mountain Of Judgement "Mountain Of Judgement" (R047 CD) is out now! MOUNTAIN OF JUDGEMENT eponymous release which also includes two bonus-tracks from the original 2005-sessions is not your average doom-metal album. Apart from solemn, crushingly subsonic guitar riffs and heavy stomping rhythms, it is filled with dizzying synthesizer washes and swirls while the vocal parts sound very close to mystical transmissions from outer worlds or dimensions. Their "true psychedelic doom" still stands the test of time and offers an exhilarating experience to lovers of the deviant doom-metal and heaviest psyche-space-rock. Truly heavy and unique!
December 31, 2009 - RAIG is proud to announce Bosch's With You "Wired Promise to be" (R045 CD) is out now! This is a farewell studio album by BOSCH'S WITH YOU. Recorded by the full line-up of Dima T. Pilot, A.B., Dima Ch. and Indol, it shows all the facets of the band’s musical life, delivering versatile compositions, catchy melodic hooks and phantasmal atmospheres. Their fantasies range from psychedelic slow songs to more powerful rock explosions and crossover anthems with a distinctive progressive and personal touch. As a bonus, the exclusive version of the release (100-ltd pieces) includes a bonus-disc, Live In Kharkiv, the only official BWY concert album. Dedicated to the memory of our beloved friend and peerless artist, Dima T. Pilot (1980 – 2009).

January 17, 2010 - RAIG's Accessory Takes presents: (AT028) A Foggy Realm "Twilight". An accomplished composer and musician, Ilya Lipkin (THE RE-STONED, RUSHUS, WALDSONNE) set up his A FOGGY REALM in the end of 2009 to explore the mysterious realms of ambient-and-drone electroacoustics played live with an electric guitar and a bunch of effect pedals. "Twilight" EP is a debut FREE-TO-DOWNLOAD release by this project. Recorded in January 2010, it features five relatively short pieces consisting of thick multi-layered guitar ambiances ranging from the obscured psyched-out to the threat-suffused and doom-riffed. Strong and weirdly fascinating performance. A FOGGY REALM at MyspaceMusic.
