We have another review by the way. This one is from Italian "IYEzine" and curious thing is that nor I, nor the label itself (as Far as I know) contacted them to review the album:

"Narrow House are offering a very good record full of gloomy atmosphere as they are elegant, going to place not too Far from what has been done by the former countrymen Comatose Vigil, and then showing all their devotion to the Skepticism, authentic tutelary deities of this variant atmospheric funeral"

This was a googletranslated bit, and here's the full version: http://translate.google.ru/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iyezine.com%2Frecensioni%2F2140-narrow-house-a-key-to-panngrieb.htm

So, just to remind you - this weekend all original members of Narrow House are going to gather in Czech Republic to visit "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" gig. So, if any of you guys are planning to go there for the same reason and would like to receive an album or just have a chat - feel free to tell me about this.

Just returned from the Czech Republic - that was a WILD ride full of beer, Czech national cuisine and everything else which comes with all these things. The GY!BE gig was great and I got myself a cool Kafka shirt.

Meanwhile there's a fresh review from USA based "Infernal Masquerade Webzine". Here's a quote:

“A Key to Panngrieb is definitely for fans of Funeral Doom Metal that need a bit more than just punishing riffs repeated over and over. With the atmospheric elements, Narrow House manages to be above the average bands in the genre and should actually be considered as one of Promises of the genre"

Just noticed that the previous review made the overall count of reviews equal to 20 or so. Anyway, the more the better. It would be cool to have 50 of them . The next one is from Brazilian "Funeral Wedding". They gave us 5 of 5, yay!

"With dire guitars, keyboards, atmospheric, ultra-slow drums, this album starts your trip with Poslednee Pristanishe. In the course of its 14 minutes you can experience numerous sensations, especially with entering cello line. Every feeling of anguish and rejection comes to mind and that feeling of Emptiness reigns in our tired body"

That was a rough translated bit from original Portuguese version of the article. The full googletranslated text can be found here: http://translate.google.ru/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funeralwedding.com%2F%3Fp%3D1745

We've got another distro to distribute our stuff - http://www.arxprod.net.ua/. It is based in Ukraine, Donetsk, so in case somebody is more comfortable to order it from there and not Russia or any other places I was telling you about before, this is your choice.

In other news we've got a review from "Destructive Music" zine from UK:

"Russian newcomers Narrow House are still defining their own style, but on the basis of this debut they’re well on their way to doing so. The first thing you notice about A Key To Panngrieb is how lush and professional it sounds – big strings, clear, unmuddied production and perfectly crisp drums give the music a depth and space that you don’t often hear in underground Metal. It sounds MASSIVE, and that sound really supports the feel that Narrow House are going for, which is one of utter melancholy and despair".

Finally we've got some English words with no need to googletranslate them. This review is from USA based underground metal label, blog and recording studio "Contaminated Tones":

"Narrow House do a great job at building up to great moments in the compositions and the thirteen minute long Steklianniy Bog is, once again, a highlight in this regard where Nine minutes after the initial Dirge chimes, bellowing and windy scenes are coaxed from layers of keyboards and cello to, at least for me, send shivers Down the spine"

This one is actually something interesting to read, so here's the link to the full text: http://www.contaminatedtones.blogspot.com/2012/12/narrow-house-key-to-panngrieb.html
