Russian progressive death metal band Skyglow released their debut album 'Thousand Years of Terror' on June 30th 2018. The album is released by Inverse Records (digitally) & Grotesque Sounds (CD).

The band currently consists of just two members: Alexander Mokin (author, vocalist) and Sergey Stepanenko (guitarist). They make studio music and do not perform live. The best part of their music is its insane composition, original complex riffs and its aggressive and chaotic yet sentimental atmosphere.

Band comments:
"Recently we finished our debut album named Thousand Years of Terror. It is dedicated to the problems of totalitarian states, inspired by the political situation in Russia."

Album cover art is made by Joe Petagno (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, Marduk, Autopsy, etc.)

BIOGRAPHY:
Skyglow was formed as a musical project of Alexander Mokin. In 2012 he started to write music for his first album, combining different subgenres of Death Metal with his own ideas. He was inspired by such bands as early In Flames, Be'Lakor, Metallica and, later, Death, Dissection and early Dark Tranquillity, though the music most of all resembles The Chasm and Necrophagist. Being raised in Russia in the poor city of Saratov he saw the corruption, the lies and the violence of the governemnt, so he chose this to be the main theme of the album. 

In 2016 his friend guitarist Vlad Kudryavtsev agreed to help him with the recording, so they formed a band called "Eyes of Skyglow". On March 29, 2017 they released a demo called "Curse of the Butterfly" which contained a song from the future album and an instrumental track. Due to lack of spare time and experience, Vlad Kudryavtsev left the project. 
Sergey Stepanenko, the leader of the band Excruciation by Silence, who also was Alexander's mate, joined the band to record the full-length album. The recording started in June, 2017 and lasted for 5 months. Long search for a drummer stopped at Dmitry Kim, who was a drummer for Morton, Jinjer, Posthumous Blasphemer, Goatpsalm, Human Nihility and other bands. 

In December, 2017 the band changed its name to "Skyglow". Their debut album was called "Thousand Years of Terror" and it tells about the horrors of Russian history. Its release was scheduled for June 30.
