New Format Release for Licho’s Ciuciubabka

Experimental black metal act Licho‘s third full-length album Ciuciubabka is now out in a special edition cassette format via Devoted Art Propaganda.

The album was originally released in 2022 via Pagan Records in CD and digital formats. The word ciuciubabka translates to the children’s game blind man’s buff or tag in which one person has a cloth tied over their eyes and tries to catch the others. The album tells the story of what can be seen when blindfolded, the game of hiding and catching what has fallen from the sky. It is also about, as always, walking towards the light. On foot, on horseback, by car, by spirit. 

Musically, Licho continued the black metal style of their previous albums, while also taking inspiration from other genres and quoting the poet Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz. The Ciuciubabka album cover features a painting by Wilhelm Sasnal Polak.

The album was recorded at Nebula Studio, Czyściec Studio and Garderobie Czorta. Maciej Wasio (Myslovitz among others) is responsible for the mix, and Jaakko Viitalähde (Oranssi Pazuzu among others) for the mastering.

Licho was founded in 2011 in Sanok, Poland by Szturpak. The current line-up has been in operation since 2017 and consists of musicians also known from projects such as Koniec Pola, -S-, Wędrowcy~Tułacze~Zbiegi and Gruzja. 

The tape is limited to 100 copies and is available from here. Ciuciubabka is also available via YouTubeSpotify and Bandcamp.

  1. At first I was certain nothing in the UK scene could impress me anymore. I’d seen too many flashy promises that led nowhere, so I approached this place with a raised eyebrow. Halfway through exploring the features web completely flipped my expectations. Smooth navigation, steady outcomes and a genuinely fair feel made me rethink my initial doubt.
