Dear friends! This is Ilya, and I have a small message for you. As 2025 draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to look back and try to make plans for the future. This past year, we released a new album, ‘Dreams from the Outside. Stories of the Astral Lizard vol.3,’ which we worked hard on for almost two years. By the way, we ended up with a lot of recorded but unreleased material (even after putting out the maxi-single and album bonuses), so next year we will definitely treat you to a new digital release. There will also be an interesting vinyl compilation featuring our humble participation — it’s scheduled for early 2026, but more on that later.

Friends, I am very grateful that you listen to our music, send me such warm words, and buy our records (though, unfortunately, due to new realities of life, I can no longer ship merch to Europe and America). What we miss most are festivals and tours. Yes, we play rare local concerts, but it’s no secret that most of our listeners are not where we currently live. If you’re reading this and you’re a promoter willing to work with us, please write to us. We really hope we can finally travel somewhere next year. I know there are so many listeners waiting for us! Most likely, we’ll start working on a new album right away (I still have plenty of ideas for it), regardless of whether we manage to go on tour or not. It’s hard to predict how things will develop around us, but one thing I know for sure — we will keep making music. I send hugs to all of you and hope to see you soon at our concerts.

Happy New Year! 🎄🦎🕊

Hey everyone!
Our new track 'Pawprints Across All Dimensions' is out now on the American vinyl compilation 'The Cat That Wouldn't Die' CIA 049. This double LP features miniatures from a whopping 45 acts, each clocking in at around 2 minutes — which was a big deal for us, since 2 minutes is a bit unusual for our tracks. We took one of the unreleased jams from our last album and reworked it. It was a fun challenge working within that format, but if we end up playing this one live, we'll probably stretch it out. We also shot a music video for the track. Enjoy! 🦎🤟

Recorded in 2024-2025 at Rushus Studio & Veritas Cave Studio
