"The Battle Of Rymnik"
The Battle of Râmnic on September 22, 1789 took place in Wallachia, near Râmnicu Sărat, during the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-1792. The Russian general Alexander Suvorov, acting together with the Habsburg general Prince Josias of Coburg, attacked the main Ottoman army under Grand Vizier Cenaze Hasan Pasha. The result is a crushing Russo-Austrian victory.
Beginning at the month of September 1789, the Ottoman vizier Cenaze Hasan Pasha, vowing revenge for their forces' defeat at Focșani, raised an army of more than 100,000 soldiers consisting mostly of Janissaries to defeat the combined Austro-Russian armies under generals Alexander Suvorov of Russia and Prince Josias of Coburg. Sending his troops into a grueling night march, he then launched his offensive against the 18,000-strong Austrian detachment, while taking heed of the latter's numbers and their poor performance in the war, specifically after the Battle of Karánsebes, he was convinced that he could defeat this force easily. However, once knowing of this, Suvorov and his 7,000-strong force marched to their aid at a distance of about 100 kilometers within two and a half days, arriving at the eve of the battle. As the commander-in-chief of all Russo-Austrian forces in the front, he quickly met with the Austrian commander to redress the situation.
Suvorov effectively divided his combined army into two columns to advance towards the Ottoman formations on 2300 hours. and the next morning, after crossing the river Rymna, staged an attack. As they advance they crippled the enemy artillery and adopted infantry square formations to repel massive enemy cavalry counterattacks which actually tried to split his army in two. This done, the army stormed an enemy camp and routed them completely.
1500 hours, after storming the Ottoman fortifications near the village Bogsa and reunited with the Austrian army, the combined army then advanced onto a general offensive towards the main Ottoman camp located in the forest nearby. While the Austrians advanced and are pinning down enemy troops, the rest of Suvorov's army outflanked the entire enemy army and attacked them with his cavalry, causing panic amongst the Ottomans who had almost nowhere to retreat but across the Rymnik river, where most of them drowned while attempting to cross it.
At the cost of a mere 700 casualties, Suvorov inflicted about 20-50,000 casualties against the Turks, who are now in full retreat from the Danubian Principalities. Aside from very heavy losses, the Turks lost all of their artillery and their baggage train.

"Abysmal Growls Of Despair - Lovecraftian Drone" (Tape)
Ambient/Lovecraftian Drone
Limited to 66 copies
"And at the last from inner Egypt came
The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed;
Silent and lean and cryptically proud,
And wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame.
Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands
But leaving, could not tell what they had heard;
While through the nations spread the awestruck word
That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands
Soon from the sea a noxious birth began;
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold;
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play,
The idiot Chaos blew Earths dust away."
