Sabled Sun - Home

3 veteran producers in the genre, Apocryphos, Kammarheit & Atrium Carceri, collaborate on this behemoth of an album. Each utilizing each others strengths to bring forth a dark and emotional ride through distant memories. 

Onyx is a soundscape journey related to the reflection of dispirited memories and obscure sorrows felt by mankind. With the multitude of techniques used by each artist, it also reflects the rich history of the dark ambient genre and how it has progressed through the decades. 

The signature analogue darkness of gargantuan caves of Kammarheit is combined with the sacral and emotional layering of Apocryphos and the rhytmical bass throbbing and isolated pianos of Atrium Carceri. 

This album was created by cross linking 3 studios in Oregon (US), Pennsylvania (US) and Umeå(Sweden). It took over 3800 lines of studio notes to finalize the album.

Pedro Pimentel returns to Cryo Chamber with his second album on the label, Self Destruction Themes. This time with help from Amund Ulvestads beautiful cello performances, Simon Heaths textural piano work and Apocryphos atmospheric distortion layers. 

This is a massive album of cold but inviting atmospheres, filtered noise, acoustic layering and sweeping textural layers. The sad theme throughout the album paints images of a world depopulated and of overgrown and dilapidated cityscapes.

Wordclock - Lack Of Language

Svartsinn was asked to contribute a song for the desibel project which is a part of Norway's biggest festival "Øyafestivalen" in 2016. As I was already working on a new album I chose to make a track with a theme that could fit in with the album concept. This is the desibel project version of the song. A slightly different version will appear on the album.  The song image shows the speakers also known as Desibel. (The worlds biggest mobile speakers). Mastered by Simon Heath at Cryo Chamber.

Flowers for Bodysnatchers - Fall The Night (EP). Download from BandCamp. 
https://flowersforbodysnatchers.bandcamp.com/album/fall-the-night

Available in 24 bit.

Fall The Night is an EP Inspired by Nathan Hassall's illustrated poetry chapbook, The Flesh and Mortar Prophecy. Nathan Hassall leads the way where few are willing to go, deep into the mind's Dark Sanctuary. All-knowing doctors, schizophrenic demons and apocalyptic visions are all part of the process within the confines of flesh. Once entered, there is no way to unlearn the awakened chimeras of the self.

Blood Trumpets and Nihilism 

There is fire in their blood, 
not a passionate one 
but, 
one which burns through shrieks of terror 
as the First Horn 
of slaughtered rams 
begins to cry. 

forests become the abyss; 
melt into waxen streams. 

mountains plunge 
into oceans 
which gut themselves, 
stain ships and rise, 
swallow them 
in red-mist hideousness. 

Wormwood readies itself, 
descends on the waters, 
taints it 
so that poison and death 
become all that is muttered 
and murmured 
and weak stomachs 
hurl their bones.

Fall The Night

Blood Trumpets And Nihilism

Ambient Veterans Atrium Carceri & Herbst9 team up on this mysterious album 

The harbor was humid and hot in this mysterious land, nothing like the frosty cold ports of home. Yellow smoke danced to the beat of the drum joined by hypnotic women. The crowd spiraled inward, dancing to far away bells and the murmur beneath the ground. 

You awoke sweat clad in linen sheets, the naked woman passed a long pipe. The cherry sparked red like a dragons eye. Head leaned back against a soft pillow, body free falling from soothed skies. A thud as your body hit the ground on a pathway built by giants. 

Chanting, ritual drumming and spoken word weave in and out of this album that pays tribute to the old ways.

Using a selected set of analog instruments Christian Stritzel and Martin Stürtzer have put together a mystic, slowly evolving ambient sound. A warm cocoon in cold space longing for the enigmas of the solar system and beyond. 

Transient Lunar Phenomena are changes in appearance on the lunar surface of unknown origin. Light signals and color changes have been observed since the 6th century. The lunar events were officially cataloged in NASA technical report TR R-277 in 1968.

Randal Collier-Ford returns to Cryo Chamber with Advent, a worldbuilding heavy dark industrial sci-fi ambient album with a massive booklet.

"A world separated from natural law, emerged among the forests of South America. Research expeditions had shown the on-site flora and fauna to be mutated from local strains and species, with most, if not all fauna showing aggressive hostility towards expedition personnel. The atmosphere showed rich pockets of methane gases, in addition to unidentified gases composed of elements not yet discovered. This, in turn, has turn the soil black, moist with an acidic agent, yet soft as flesh under the feet.

The distance revealed multiple strange structure, many illuminated by climbing fires. Between these structures, beasts of unknown shapes shift between the oddly colored nature, barking horrible noises in their dark world. Beyond the structures, however, towering shadows stalk the skyline just outside of the light. Titans of absurd shapes, bellowing thunderous calls one could only describe as not of this world.

What sort of world has appeared so suddenly, without warning or cause? These hellish shapes define all understanding of natural order. Why are they here? And what lies among these structures, wherein beating drums shake the earth?"
