Vestigial Announces Long-Awaited CD Reissue of Cult Dark Ambient Debut "Translucent Communion".

An Ominous Classic from the Depths of Italy’s Underground Returns.

Italy’s shadowy sound architect Vestigial, the artistic alias of Peppe Ferrillo, announces the long-awaited CD reissue of his 2008 dark ambient debut, "Translucent Communion". A cult favorite in Italy’s experimental music scene and long out of print, this reissue brings back the bleak meditations and apocalyptic soundscapes that first established Ferrillo as a visionary voice in ambient music.

Translucent Communion carved its place in the genre with an approach that was subtle, textural, and deeply atmospheric. Unlike many of its peers, Vestigial’s debut refrained from relying on standard droning techniques or gothic theatrics. Instead, the album evoked vast, desolate landscapes, tectonic movements, boiling magma, and icy voids with restrained precision and haunting elegance.

Critics praised the album’s minimalist ethos and meditative power. Now, nearly two decades later, Translucent Communion returns to physical form, presented in a new CD edition with Ferrillo’s own updated design work, bleak, elegant, and deeply interconnected with the sonic content, reinforcing his identity not only as a musician but as a complete aesthetic auteur.

With a growing international appreciation for dark ambient and minimalist electronic music, this reissue offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to revisit (or discover) a defining work in Vestigial’s haunting catalogue, a debut that whispered of extinction, cosmic indifference, and what lingers in the silence beyond civilization.

CD edition of 200 copies in 6 panel Digisleeve. 6 Tracks. Running Time 47:20 EAN: 3770033798362


Vestigial - The Void - Excerpt

In a long-awaited unveiling, celebrating it's 25th anniversary, raison d’être’s critically acclaimed dark ambient opus “The Empty Hollow Unfolds” will be available for the first time ever on vinyl, released as a deluxe Double LP edition on Marbled vinyl and standard Black. Originally issued in 2000 this reissue marks a significant milestone in the legacy of Swedish composer Peter Andersson, whose immersive soundscapes helped define an era of industrial ambient music.

“The Empty Hollow Unfolds” is not merely an album, it is a descent into the void. Widely hailed as one of the most haunting and emotionally resonant works in the dark ambient genre, it transforms isolation into an art form. Andersson constructs a sonic environment of desolate beauty, where metallic echoes, subterranean drones, and Gregorian-like chants collide in a ritual of decay and transcendence.

From the slow, meditative swell of “The Slow Ascent” to the sprawling, twenty-minute dirge “The Eternal Return and the Infinity Horizon”, this record remains a singular achievement, a sound world of spectral ruins and elegant desolation. This new Double LP edition has been remastered specifically for vinyl, restoring the album’s cavernous depth and atmospheric range in unprecedented detail and includes 3 bonus tracks not available on the original release.

Critics have long praised The Empty Hollow Unfolds as a milestone in the genre, once voted the greatest release in Cold Meat Industry’s storied history. Described as “elegantly crafted ruin” and “a travelogue from a land where the sun never rises,” the album continues to evoke awe and unease in equal measure. Its sound, monumental yet intimate, cold yet achingly human, remains as relevant and unsettling today as it was 25 years ago.

Limited Edition 2LP of 400 copies. 200 copies on Marbled vinyl and 200 on Black vinyl. Gatefold Sleeve, matte varnish and black paper inner sleeves. 8 Tracks. Running Time 73:13

Release Date October 17 2025


raison d'être - The Eternal Horizon - Live Edit - Excerpt

Forged in the fires of Spain’s underground, DAYOFWRATH unleashed their uncompromising vision with the limited cassette release of And The World Will Perish In Flames via Cloister Recordings in 2021. With its raw aggression, suffocating atmosphere, and apocalyptic intensity, the album quickly became a coveted cult artifact.

This new CD edition preserves the original spirit, unrelenting, furious, and bleak, while opening the door to a wider audience. Its presence within the Cyclic Law catalogue feels inevitable: a work steeped in darkness, aggression, and ritualistic weight, standing shoulder to shoulder with the label’s most uncompromising offerings.

Drawing inspiration from age-old eschatological themes and apocalyptic prophecy, And The World Will Perish In Flames delivers an immersive sonic journey that evokes the biblical "Day of Wrath"—a time when, as legend foretells, the world will be consumed by fire and reborn from the ashes. This release, the 254th cycle in the artist’s evolving saga, encapsulates cosmic judgment, oblivion, and the fragile impermanence of civilization.

And The World Will Perish In Flames is a descent into pure Black Industrial, raw, hostile, and apocalyptic. With its relentless riffing, cavernous atmospheres, and urgent ferocity, the album channels a vision of absolute destruction. Every track serves as a document of rage and despair, a ritual of annihilation that carries the listener deep into the abyss. 

Shrouded in secrecy, DAYOFWRATH remain one of the Spanish underground’s most elusive and uncompromising hordes. Their music is an unfiltered expression of darkness, extremity, and annihilation. This CD release of And The World Will Perish In Flames not only revives a rare gem, but also affirms the band’s place in the unique tradition of raw and uncompromising Blackened Industrial.

CD Edition of 300 copies in 4 panel Digipak. 4 Tracks. Running Time 18:06

DAYOFWRATH - The Warrior's Pilgrimage - Excerpt

American Dark Ambient sound sculptor AJNA returns with his latest full-length work, New Revelations of Being, an eleven-track descent into the abyss of human psyche and metaphysical dread. Following his acclaimed Cyclic Law releases, this new opus draws direct inspiration from the fevered writings of Antonin Artaud’s Artaud 1937 Apocalypse.

With New Revelations of Being, AJNA channels Artaud’s fragmented visions of destruction, renewal, and transcendence through a vast palette of subterranean drones, spectral resonances, and suffocating atmospherics. Each track unfolds like a psychic document, blurring the line between revelation and delirium, guiding the listener into haunted states where words dissolve into vibration and consciousness is unmoored from form.

At once oppressive and illuminating, the album furthers AJNA’s ongoing exploration of the boundaries of perception, death, and rebirth. Dense textures coil and fracture into hidden harmonics, mirroring Artaud’s own descent into madness as a vessel for ecstatic truth.

New Revelations of Being cements AJNA as one of the foremost practitioners of the Dark Ambient tradition, offering not just music but a transformative experience, a ritual in sound that demands surrender.

CD Edition of 300 copies in 4 panel Digipak. 11 Tracks. Running Time 69:10

Ajna - New Revelations of Being - Excerpt

A Dark Ambient Descent Into Collective Fear and Trauma

When war erupted in Ukraine, French sound sculptor Lambwool found himself overtaken by an overwhelming surge of fear and anxiety. The escalating threat of nuclear disaster, the looming specter of global conflict, and the harrowing imagery of destruction awakened in him a long-buried childhood trauma: the paralyzing terror of an impending apocalypse.
For ten days following the outbreak of war, Lambwool was engulfed in a state of absolute panic. Searching for a way to purge these suffocating emotions, he turned instinctively to sound. What began as a means of survival evolved into a profound work of catharsis: a sonic exorcism of dread, helplessness, and darkness.
The result is Lambwool’s most uncompromisingly Dark Ambient album to date, an unflinching meditation on fear, despair, and the crushing weight of history in motion. Every texture, drone, and resonance draws directly from that psychic landscape of anxiety, immersing the listener in a haunting soundworld that reflects both personal and collective trauma.

Integral to the album’s construction are authentic field recordings taken from news reports and journalistic coverage of the conflict in Ukraine. These are not abstracted samples, but raw sonic fragments, captured on the ground amidst devastation, that bring an immediacy and documentary presence to the work. Bombarded buildings, human voices, the echoes of conflict: these elements blur the line between sound art and testimony, making the album both a deeply personal expression and an unsettling historical document.

The artwork mirrors the sonic and emotional core of the album, envisioned in stark black and white tones or desaturated greys. Images of bombed-out structures, ideally drawn from actual photographs of Ukraine, anchor the album visually in the same reality from which the sounds emerged. This cohesion between concept, sound, and imagery completes Lambwool’s immersive statement.

With a career spanning atmospheric soundscapes and ethereal experimentation, Lambwool has always sought to explore the liminal space between beauty and darkness. This latest work pushes further into uncharted depths, stripping away light to confront the terror of our times head-on. It is not merely an album, but a document of psychic survival, an artistic gesture born from fear and transformed into sound.

Edition of 300 copies in 4 panel Digipak. 7 Tracks. Running Time 39:22
