Hibernation is one of the historic bands of Greek crust scene that are still active (the other one is Panikos). The term historic comes for their connection with some bands from the great era of late '80's-mid '90's of greek scene: Chaotic End and Forgotten Prophecy (and in a chain of links these bands were connected with some other legends such as Ashen Breath,Naytia, Human Lethargy,Stateless in the Universe and others). Their first ep was posted here, Malisha posted their last release "Into the Silence of Eternal Sorrow".
Loneliness was released by Power it Up in 2000. Cover artwork reflects isolation,despair and loneliness and stands off to crust cliches . The record comes with a nice booklet with lyrics and translation in English. There are four tracks here: The spoken word of first track delivers the first dark colors of despair and inner search in a world of hypocrisy and then the crust assault begins: Alex sings in a side tracks while Yanna in b side's.All tracks are fast and short delivering a blending of Doom and Nausea with a metal edged feeling,heavy riffs, excellent rhythm section and hard pounding drums. There are some slower parts while some keyboards here and there add more shades of darkness. the production is a bit better than the first ep
Loneliness (and all Hibernation records) had good reviews (check some in this fan made myspace) but according to Alex's interview in Mountza zine, Power It Up was not happy with it. weird....
Too much rant.. now go get

The Loneliness Ep is a great one, but at all I prefer the LP from Hibernation.

Nice. I bought this seven inch on a whim. Its good but I was confused as to whether it was a split or not because the liner notes confused me.
I added your blog to my list. If you wanted to/could please add mine I am trying to cross-promote it as much as I can thanks.
