ZHELEZOBETON news – 16.08.2022

Dear friends,

As you know, nothing in our world is absolutely unchangeable: all things and phenomena constantly arise, transform and disappear, no matter how much we would like the opposite. The well-known events in recent Russian history led to many chain reactions, which resulted in a serious reappraisal of our personal values. We made a well-considered and deliberate decision to close the label and distro.

So it is the last Zhelezobeton newsletter, at least in the current form. We don't have any new additions to our catalogue, except for the only release from the Danish label TOPOS – a compilation of Russian experimental & noise artists called "Война (Vojna)" (Russian for "war"), expressing their attitude to the current obscurantism. The compilation is available on CD and cassette at a special non-commercial price.

If you wanted to order something from our catalog, but hesitated for some reason, then now is the best time to do it, especially since many items can still be bought at half price as part of the summer sale. Orders will be accepted until August 23rd, after which the mailorder will be shut down.

Thank you for your support during all these years! Your enthusiasm has been the best energy that allowed us to carry on this activity for so long!

With ferroconcrete greetings,
M.M.
