Dust Harvesting

A progressive rock duo founded by Sviatoslav Abakumov in 2007 as a one-man band, meeting then a second member.

Through a mixture of different inspiration sources and common love for Isis, The Mars Volta, Tool, Pain of Salvation, and others, the band creates emotional and compositionally complex songs, ranging from groovy crushing riffs to jazzesque solos through the whole discography.

Озеро Изфикции (Instrumental)

After some time had passed, I realized that I couldn't bare to listen to the record anymore. In the search of the source of irritation I found out that the lyrics give me no rest. So here it is: the same vibe, feel, and groove sans the voice.

Озеро Изфикции

Озеро Изфикции is the first full-length album of Dust Harvesting, full of bluesy romantic vibe, if not sweetly depressive, where feel of devotion meets groove of heavy riffs mixed with cathartic solos. A conceptual piece of how lonely one can be amongst and before.

Seven BSODs. Inner Oww

Started as a joke and an (unsuccessful) experiment in making a piece with ¾ meter, Seven BSODs. Inner Oww turned out to be almost progressive sludge in the vein of Mastodon, Mose Giganticus, Melvins, Isis, yet not quite sounding like any of them. Heavy and compelling, this one unveils layers with each listen.

Seasons for Chaotic Contraction

This is the beginning: casual doodles made in a flash of enthusiasm, sketches and experiments in a new direction. Although everything was quite raw and hectic back there, it has some of the features that soon would evolve to be defining elements of Dust Harvesting.
