Beyond Sensory Experience - Number Theory

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.

Lambwool -Desolation - Excerpt

“In the Abyss of the crucible, She sleeps. Stained in shadows, cleansed by fire.
Yet, in Her womb, an astral pulse throbs. The Golden Seed, the adept would claim.”

Canadian ritual drone duo Sublimatio Mortis return with GHUR, their third full-length and most intense, immersive, and obscure work to date, a descent into the sonic depths where matter dissolves and spirit is reborn.

Through the magical process of sound and vibration, Sublimatio Mortis conjure chthonic soundscapes and subterranean frequencies, crafting an experience that transcends mere listening. Each composition functions as a crucible, transforming darkness not by negation, but by the illumination of hidden light.

“GHUR” embodies the duo’s singular approach to sonic alchemy: ritual drones, meditative pulses, and deep-frequency invocations that reveal the subtle architecture of the unseen. It is not music to comfort; it is sound to awaken.

A work of both purification and revelation, GHUR invites the listener to traverse the liminal space between dissolution and illumination, to encounter the inner fire at the heart of the abyss.

A Reawakening of the Abyss

More than a decade after the seminal release of Lacrimae Mundi, Croatian ritual ambient pioneer TeHÔM returns with Lacrimae Mundi Remixed, a transcendent new offering that gathers together the crème de la crème of the dark ambient, ritual, and post-industrial realms.

Nine acclaimed artists have reinterpreted TeHÔM’s esoteric soundscapes, each reshaping its primordial textures through their own distinctive sonic language. They collectively conjure an entirely new ritual experience, a deep cinematic meditation on darkness, memory, and transcendence.

Tracklist:
	
1. The World Ended - Northaunt Remix
2. Darkness Cosmogony Of Myths - raison d’être Remix
3. Abyss - Inade Remix
4. Amorphous Structure - New Risen Throne Remix
5. The Magnitude Of Shaking - Visions Remix
6. Lacrimae Mundi - Atrium Carceri Remix
7. Atum - Sysselmann Remix
8. Perilous Depth - Vestigial Remix
9. Modality Of Cosmic Matter - Phelios Remix

With meticulous attention to sound range and sublevel frequency, this album expands TeHÔM’s original vision into a broader, more immersive field, an audial labyrinth both sacred and abyssal. Each contribution forms a unique node in a collective eschatological experience, powerful enough to dissolve the listener’s boundaries and usher the mind toward stillness and erasure.

In an era where technology tempts humanity to forget its origins, "Lacrimae Mundi Remixed" stands as a testament to remembrance, a sonic scripture chronicling the eternal search for truth and the divine self. Its textures evoke visions of ancient temples and cosmic architectures where secret wisdom slumbers.

Time here is neither linear nor fixed. Within the illusion of Māyā, the dream within the dream, the album reveals Lacrimae Theos, the tears of the divine echoing through eternity.

Following the visionary visual design of the original edition by Dehn Sora, this new release features a new artwork by Nieuw NDG, complementing the music’s metaphysical depth with renewed elegance and symbolism.

TeHÔM - Perilous Depth (Vestigial remix) - Excerpt

With Acéphale, German ritual ambient project VORTEX delves deeper into the mythic undercurrents of philosophy, ritual, and sound. The album continues the band’s ongoing exploration of aural mythology through subtle drone compositions, ritualistic percussion, and an overarching sense of psychosexual tension.

Taking inspiration from the work of Georges Bataille, Acéphale evokes the forbidden energies at the heart of human experience. In the 1930s, Bataille founded both a journal and a secret society under the same name Acéphale (“headless”), centered on the image of the headless god, a symbol of rebellion against reason, hierarchy, and political authority. Through this figure, Bataille envisioned liberation from the “servility of reason,” embracing immanence, transgression, and the chaotic freedom found beyond control.

VORTEX founder Marcus Stiglegger, a long-time scholar of Bataille’s philosophy, channels these concepts into sonic form, crafting an immersive experience that oscillates between death and desire, ecstasy and dissolution. The album invokes the sacred that emerges from transgression: the body freed from hierarchy, the spirit confronting its own excess.
Musically, Acéphale marks a return to VORTEX’s dark ambient origins, brooding textures, processed field recordings, eerie voices, and ritual drum patterns that follow the unsettling rhythm of desire itself. Within this vortex, order and chaos intertwine, producing an atmosphere both meditative and confrontational.

The release features guest vocal performances by David S. (Dawn + Dusk Entwined) and explicit photographic artwork that mirrors the album’s themes of sacred eroticism and sacrifice.

Acéphale stands as perhaps the most sublime and conceptually charged VORTEX release to date, a work that summons the listener into the ritual of the headless god.
