In Tibetan “chöd” roughly means “being cutted off”.
And that is also the title of
the new album by those Moscow shamans.
Completely new material,
the whole perfectly shows the strength of their music based on the “rgyud-skad”
singing, meditation and the use of traditional instruments, often made
of human bones.
Chöd is the
practice of sacrificing the body.
To actively participate in meditation
we invite not only enlightened beings, but also the residents of the
six realms of existence, including the essence of hell and all the
spiritual “filth” of all possible demons.
They just have to be
the main beneficiaries of the sacrifice and the body of the meditator becomes their food.
Over a 90-minute monolith in two scenes.
The musical trance will introduce listeners into a state of meditation.
Chöd practice was carried out in desolate and lonely places, and often even
frightening – in the fields of cremation and burial grounds near the
dismembered corpses and wild animals preying on / for them.
The practitioners
of chöd were called "Crazy Yogis".
“Chöd” is released as a double album in 3-panel ecopak, in a strictly limited edition of 400 copies.
