BESTIA by IGNEA, ERSEDU
“I like the way both bands blend different subgenres, so there’s something for everyone. This is a really good folky death/symphonic metal split disc.”
Antichrist Magazine
"There is no shortness of epic orchestration or tantalizing vocal displays throughout this album, and it has easily slid into my own playlist of inspiring music when I need that cinematic-level pick-me-up."
Metal Goddesses
"Excelling itself, in each track, ‘Bestia’ is a superbly delivered, exquisite production, exemplifying the powerful possibilities inherent in such vast and versatile sound combo’s as these. It’s rich with intrigue and melody, offering a fascinating new listening experience, throughout. Dramatically captivating."
Rock Queen Reviews
“A conceptual EP that washes itself with all the waters - and goes through the ceiling musically, lyrically and vocally!"

BESTIA is a concept EP about the human nature of Ukrainian mythological creatures and the world’s duality. In Ukrainian, BESTIA (Ukr. «бестія») means both a savage beast and a mischievous person. This is a split record that consists of songs by two Ukrainian bands — IGNEA and ERSEDU — and is a result of their 10-year friendship.
The album consists of 2 songs by IGNEA, 2 songs by ERSEDU, 1 song featuring both bands, and The symphony of BESTIA — a mix of orchestral arrangements used in the five songs from the EP:
1. Bosorkun / IGNEA
2. Magura’s Last Kiss / IGNEA
3. Mermaids / IGNEA / ERSEDU
4. Black Garden / ERSEDU
5. The Eaters of the Sun / ERSEDU
