Cryo Chamber

This album from Swedish producer Daniel Wiklander will take you deep into the radioactive zones of Chelyabinsk. 

The Chelyabinsk Oblast countryside at the foot of the Ural mountains is as pretty as pastoral landscapes go, the river Techa flows through green farmlands. It is also extremely toxic. At the beginning of the Cold War nuclear arms race, the plutonium plant at Mayak used water from the Techa to cool its reactors. The contaminated water was then discharged back into the river, which tens of thousands relied on for their drinking water. 
Some 40 villages along the river were evacuated. The farmers in the villages close to the river still bury their dead with alarming regularity. 
After the Soviet nuclear authority stopped dumping radioactive waste in the Techa they started using lakes in the area. At lake Karachay, they created the deadliest place on earth – stay one hour on its shore, and you will be exposed to enough radioactivity to kill you. Slowly. 
During droughts in the late sixties, winds spread radioactive dust from Karachay, contaminating an area of 1,000 square miles. Today, the lake is filled with concrete to contain the radioactive waste. To this day, Mayak is in operation as a reprocessing plant for nuclear waste.

Neizvestija - Techa

The old bard sat muttering by the hearth in the creaky wooden tavern. His table a scatter of maps, aged leather-bound books and unravelled scrolls lit only by the flicker of candlelight and occasional fizz of embers when drawing on his pipe.

Once a chronicler to the kings of old and trusted advisor in the great war, his grey, ragged demeanour concealed a regal past of breaking fast at the finest tables across the land.

The second age of the machines had taken its toll, fracturing once great empires to but a tribal fight for dominion and a race to find the firestone, for the prophecy was said to say that he who yieldeth the stone, ruleth the land and to him the machines shall answer.

Mages of fire led armies of towering machines across the land in search of the stone, burning anything and everything in their path. Cities crumbled, settlements were burnt and displaced citizens all now looked to the rising sun for the next age to begin.

And the legends, the truths and answers all now sat with the bard, for he had discovered a secret code hidden within the ancient texts and stories of old that would lead to the firestone. A nod to the barkeep furnished him with another tankard of the finest mead as he continued to decipher the code.

LẼTUM presents us the album Distant Dead Stars. An audial descent into the unknown, where heavy, haunting atmospheres grind like souls devoured by black holes.

Evolving drones transcend beyond the physical realm, sweeping listeners into the void of distant dead stars. The soundscapes bleed with collisions of noise, sweeping through desolate ruins and desecrated holy grounds, where the remnants of a forgotten prophecy whisper back to life. Each track brings a sense of cosmic dread, unraveling a slow collapse

Dead Melodies presents an immersive exploration of warped lo-fi frequencies where melancholic melodies and heavy pulsing basses ripple like distant echoes in a dark forgotten realm.

Cryo Chamber - Echoes of the Hollow Earth - 03 The Next Commuter - Shouts from the Open Window

Dark Beautifully Textured Space Ambient by ProtoU on her latest album Dark Orbit.

"The Space Freighter Aetheris drifts beyond the last marked sectors, into the gaps where cartographers gave up. Out here, the stars thin out, and the silence feels heavier. When they find the structures suspended in space, it’s almost by accident—monoliths, carved and polished, drifting in a system that shouldn't exist.

Massive, seamless, and unmarked, they rise out of the void, absorbing light, swallowing signals. Against better judgment, the crew goes inside. The interiors are vast halls of smooth stone, but the halls are lifeless and abandoned. No dust. No decay. Just cold corridors running off into the dark.

Nothing reacts. Nothing watches. But the crew feels it anyway—the weight of the place, like stepping into a cathedral not built for their kind..."

Features collabs with Alphaxone and DUGA-1

Recommended for fans of Space Ambient, Atmospheric Backgrounds and sizzling texture overlays
