An Alchemical Voyage Beyond the Threshold of Matter

Portuguese ritual ambient entity WOLFSKIN returns with Ring of Spheres, a transcendental new work that expands the project’s long-standing devotion to metaphysical sound into cosmic territory. Conceived as a meditative and transformative journey, Ring of Spheres distills the essence of ritual music to its purest form: vibration, resonance, and spiritual ascent.

Recorded across a series of focused sessions with gongs and analog electronics, Ring of Spheres marks one of WOLFSKIN’s most disciplined and immersive explorations to date. The album is built entirely from these two elemental sound sources, a deliberate limitation that births vast sonic worlds from minimal matter. Each tone unfolds like the motion of celestial bodies, each pulse echoing through the void, forming a “cosmic liturgy” that blurs the boundaries between physical and spiritual space.

The conceptual framework of Ring of Spheres draws from Hermetic Alchemy, guiding the listener through the seven classical stages of the Magnum Opus, from the nigredo of dense matter and human limitation, through the successive refinements of albedo, citrinitas, and finally into rubedo, the red dawn of spiritual union. Each track mirrors a phase of transmutation, leading toward the ultimate Sublimation, the dissolution of the material self into pure, radiant consciousness.

The album unfolds as an extended act of meditation and initiation. The gongs act as both instrument and symbol: circular, radiant, resonant, their sound waves describing the eternal cycles of creation and dissolution. Electronic textures weave through them like invisible currents, mapping a vast stellar architecture of sound.

At once austere and luminous, Ring of Spheres stands as a testament to WOLFSKIN’s capacity to merge esoteric vision with sonic craft. It is music as philosophical practice, as ritual gesture, as alchemy in vibration, a mirror of the cosmos rendered in sound.

Stellar artwork for the ever creative mind at Heretic Studio.

BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE “In This Our Life” CD / DL (256th Cycle)

Beyond Sensory Experience announce "In This Our Life", a new album that extends and deepens the austere, melancholic sound they have refined since their formation in 2001. The duo continue to balance sparse, cinematic atmospheres with richly layered textures and haunting melodic motifs.  

"In This Our Life" follows a sequence of records that critics have described as immersive, melancholic and beautifully unsettling, works which place the duo among the most discreetly consistent voices in contemporary dark ambient. Previous releases were praised for their ability to create vast emotional registers from minimal material, a characteristic the new album amplifies while exploring more expansive song-forms and dynamic contrasts.  

Stylistically, the album keeps the trademark BSE touch: low-frequency washes, distant vocal fragments, analogue warmth and crystalline, slowly unfolding harmonies. Where earlier records often emphasized brooding stasis, "In This Our Life" moves the project into more narrative territory, allowing passages of melancholic catharsis to emerge from dense, claustrophobic beds of sound. Reviewers of earlier records noted the group’s talent for making the sparse feel monumental, a sensibility that informs this new collection.  

The production embraces both analogue textures and carefully balanced percussive elements. Tracks shift between shadowed ambience and melodic refrains that linger, and the sequencing creates a discreet arc, from intimate, near-silent openings to more emphatic, emotionally charged culminations. Fans of the project’s prior work will recognize the continuity, while new listeners will find entry points in the album’s stronger melodic hooks and cinematic pacing.

Beyond Sensory Experience - The Future Is Out of Reach - Excerpt

Birds Drink My Blood is the second full-length album from Born Erased, the latest solo venture of Bulgarian musician Angel Simitchiev. Conceived as a meditation on nature’s brutal beauty, the album channels the relentless flow of the natural world, its internal hierarchies, and the unseen forces that shape it. Electronic instrumentation forms the foundation of the record, marking this as the closest Born Erased has come to the final works released under Simitchiev’s now-retired Mytrip alias.

Where I Am The End Of The World (BLWBCK, 2023) relied on the tension between acoustic drums, distorted guitars and ambient electronics, Birds Drink My Blood turns inward, placing its focus firmly on electronic expression. Across six pieces, the music moves between stillness and intensity, occupying a space where fragile motifs and submerged power coexist.

Born Erased once again opens the door to collaboration. French electronic artist Mondkopf contributes his intricate synth work to the track “Unmade,” while Denmark’s Vanity Productions brings his signature melancholy-drenched feedback and noise experiments to the abrasive “Dead Sun Emblem.” These collaborative tracks enhance the album’s contrasts, highlighting moments of interplay between guest interventions and Born Erased’s core sound.

Birds Drink My Blood stands as a vivid reflection of a world where grace and violence remain inseparably entwined, and where collaboration amplifies the tension between beauty and brutality.

Born Erased -  Unmade (feat. Mondkopf) - Excerpt

A descent beyond death, a return to the origins of memory.

With The Journey to Reach the Fathers, Italian dark ambient visionary New Risen Throne delivers a monumental work of sonic transcendence, a meditation on death, ancestry, and the dissolution of the self.

The album unfolds as an inner passage beyond the boundaries of life, a transition into a realm suspended between memory and disintegration. Across five symbolic gates, the listener follows the path of a soul crossing from the mortal plane into ancestral depths. Each threshold represents a shedding, of fear, of guilt, of the fragile remnants of individuality, until what remains is no longer identity, but essence.

At the heart of this passage stands the Father: both guide and archetype, a primordial presence linking end and origin, loss and continuity. This is no promise of redemption or paradise, but a return to a distant, pre-human realm, where the lineage of the fathers of the fathers persists, silent and eternal, beneath the surface of all becoming.

Sonically, The Journey to Reach the Fathers extends New Risen Throne’s command of ritual dark ambient into its most profound form yet. Layered drones, corroded frequencies, and glacial reverberations intertwine to create soundscapes where time folds inward, bending into an inner spiral of resonance and decay.

Each composition becomes an act of purification and remembrance, a rite through which sound transforms into memory, and memory into presence. The result is a dense, immersive experience that stands as both requiem and revelation, a work about loss and continuity, return and dissolution.

Even as matter fades, The Journey to Reach the Fathers reminds us that every silence retains its trace, like the breath of those who came before, still echoing, still guiding.
