Dr. Azakovs Demise

from Azakov Saga by Terbeschikkingstelling

/

about

Dark images of sounds of hell surfacing in Siberia painted by infamous "Dr. Azakov". The legend holds that a team of Russian engineers led by "Dr. Azakov" drilled a hole in an unnamed place in Siberia that was 14.4 kilometres deep before breaking through to a cavity. Intrigued by this unexpected discovery, they lowered an extremely heat-tolerant microphone, along with other sensory equipment, into the well. The temperature deep within was 1,000 °C — heat from a chamber of fire from which the tormented screams of the damned could be heard. The recordings were thus named "the Siberian Hellsounds". Azakov painted a pitch black image of a deep entryway into Hades itself. His fame rose quickly.

However, the recording was later found to be looped together from various sound effects, sometimes identified as the soundtrack of the 1972 movie Baron Blood.

The Soviet Union had, in fact, drilled a hole more than 12 kilometres deep, the Kola Superdeep Borehole, located not in Siberia but on the Kola Peninsula, which shares borders with Norway and Finland. Upon reaching the depth of 12,262 metres in 1989, some interesting geological anomalies were found, although they reported no supernatural encounters.

This song is my hommage to this bleak, macabre hoax and Azakovs downfall. I used the "original" recordings and added some vocals and tromboning, despair...
