Kristof Bathory of Void Stasis and Dawn of Ashes serves us his first solo album on Cryo Chamber with Humanoid Dystopia. A cinematic dark ambient story revolving around four androids exiled to a desert prison planet. Huge walls of sounds, modular arpeggiators and sweeping basslines serve us a textured palette of sounds that combine for a true sci-fi epic.

"Police Report: Captain Bryan Low, Los Angeles Police Department, Rogue Acquisitions Corps, 8 June 2193.

The Praxis 8 models were the most advanced of their kind. They had enhanced cerebral and combat skills, expanded knowledge capabilities, and a capacity to develop as emotional beings that was equal to their human creators. The scientific minds of the Tyrone Syndicate had done well to make them more than human. And, to this extent, the Praxis 8 models were too good to be slaves. Four of the Praxis 8 models took matters into their own hands and formed a breakaway faction. They rebelled against their owners. They refused to obey. They absconded, taking refuge in the shadowed nooks of the urban sprawl"

CD and Digital version comes with a 14 page booklet written by Kristof Bathory and Alistair Rennie, designed by Simon Heath

Exiled from Human Life

Skrika presents his third album on Cryo Chamber, Vyeltyra Vortex. A masterfully crafted cinematic dark ambient experience continuing to expand on the universe that started with the album Fifth Nature.

The Yn, having fled from a dying Earth, have charted their own path of exploration to that of Cerria and her followers, searching for a new home. Worshipping the mystical natural powers of the universe, the Yn have travelled to a myriad of planets seeking enlightenment. Every new civilisation they encounter speak in awe of Vyeltyra-B, and of the mysterious and secretive Vyeltyrans — a race that can control time — the chrononsphere. The Yn quickly discover that rather than a path to enlightenment, on Vyeltyra-B a path awaits of a far darker kind.

Understood by the Vyeltyrans as an evolving force, time requires great prowess to control, otherwise it can tear apart the very fabric of your being — your soul from your body. The Vyeltyrans have devised a series of rites of passage all must undergo. These rites are designed to test control of your thoughts and memories across time, and of your spiritual and physical being across multiple intersecting timelines. The leaders of the Yn — Atom, Fiadh, and Ebba — agree to undergo these rites. Initiates progress through a series of chambers for each rite, with each becoming increasingly more challenging.

Recommended for fans of crisp production, psychoacoustic ambience and ethereal atmospheres.

"Right there before his very eyes was a window into another version of reality; like a looking-glass only looking back upon himself basking in the triumph of succeeding in his life's work. The collider beeped again and another window appeared; now looking upon a new version of himself, but in this world, the experiment had failed. With each beep, another window appeared, each time revealing further, more extreme divergences and with each new world the windows grew in size."
Excerpt from Booklet

CD and Digital Download comes with a 8 page booklet with narrative by Tom Moore charting a physicist's experimental research to open a portal to a parallel world.

When the World Began to Bleed

A 2 hour dark soundscape album recorded by over 20 ambient artists to pay tribute to H.P. Lovecrafts Mythos

Rhan-Tegoth is a fifteen foot tall, medusa-like, insectoid amphibious god-being (Great Old One) of little power but vital to the return of the Old Ones. It lived in the warm seas of Yuggoth before coming to Earth.

Come journey deep into the underground depths, where long forgotten temples guarded by insectoid creatures stand untouched by human curiosity

"They found the box in the basement of the British Museum. Inside it there was a leathery integument, like some muddy garb from pre-history. It was essentially colourless but with an underlying mottled green lustre. Jenkins, the anthropologist, was somewhat mesmerised by it. It was as if he had discovered something of great value, like some antique ceremonial shroud for an ancient bloodletting rite.
Maybe he had.
But Professor McIntyre was more of a mind that its anatomical qualities were of much more interest than its mystical aura. Especially so because there was nothing about the integument that seemed to correspond to the standard taxonomies of animal life."

So is this a compilation?
No, this is a collaboration and huge undertaking. Over 20 artists linked studios and sound for over a year so that they could work with each other. This led to a deep collaborative exploration of the Mythos and Rhan-Tegoth

2 CD album comes in a Deluxe 24 page Hard cover DigiBook. Artwork is served on Matte Laminated pages that makes the colors deep and preserved. Journal written by Alistair Rennie, art by Simon Heath. Digital booklet included with download.

Ruptured World returns with a second "Rituals" album of instrumental tracks, combining space ambient with radio art and occasional flurries of trumpet sounds with enigmatic field recordings.

The void of the stars is not an empty one. It is a thriving vessel of cosmic bodies and the unaccountable vastness of the ultra-deep field.

"Void Rituals" imagines the visions of the Seers of ancient pasts and unknown futures, projecting their mind's eye into the scattered minutia of the spacetime continuum.

They invoke the enchantments of the arcane scripts of "The Book of Origins" and recite the edicts drawn from the legacies of the First Gazers Upon the Pavilion.

They are the archivists of an old yearning—the legislators of untold dreamscapes—privy to the secret motions of distant worlds and the ways of the gods who oversee them.
