Since their 2012 inception, Ukrainian Black Metal innovators WHITE WARD have forged a sound unlike any other – a transgressive and genre-defying form of sinister deviant Art. Guided by the creative force of Yurii Kazaryan, the band has released three landmark albums: "Futility Report" (2017), "Love Exchange Failure" (2019), and "False Light" (2022) - each work exploring different facets of darkness, dissonance, and beauty which move beyond genre traditions.
All three albums are now made available once again in collaboration with Le 7e Oeil: individually in special editions - adorned with hand-silkscreened, numbered slipcases - or together, presented in a numbered hardcover slipcase under the title "A Thorny Path 2017–2022".

Both the individual editions and all three albums together are available exclusively through our EU store and ship immediately. Purchases are limited to one copy per customer. Please note: you may choose either the collected edition or the standalone albums – purchasing both is not possible.
Composer Yurii Kazaryan shares his thoughts on the new editions:
"With this reissue of our first three albums, we close a chapter that spans more than a decade of WHITE WARD’s existence. Yet at the same time, we mark the threshold of a new era — one that began in 2022, when our lives were irreversibly altered along with a world whose festering wounds split open once more, bleeding into the grotesque, unmasked face of humanity. The next album is already taking shape — slowly, almost imperceptibly, yet with a certainty that cannot be undone. It will require time, and much of it. May fate allow us that time, so that the words find their sound before silence swallows them whole."
In conjunction with these special releases, WHITE WARD also unveil a new t-shirt design, "Phoenix", created by Misanthropic-Art and scheduled to ship at the end of October:
Pre-orders are possible via our EU and Bandcamp shops. Please note: the t-shirt price is discounted when ordered together with records.
