In 2018, their album "Noch Serebrianoi Luny" ("Night of the Silver Moon") showcased a musical experiment with nine songs, each narrated by talented musicians from the local music scene, portraying mystical characters like ghouls, forest spirits, spiders, witches, and sirens. The band headlined the International Eco-Ethno-Festival “FourE” in Kazakhstan. They also had the opportunity to open for Zemfira at the Wild Mint Music Festival and for Mumiy Troll at the central square of Vladivostok.
