Simon, Pär and Robert are back together again after their last album Onyx. 

Echo explores mankind's weakness to self destruction. As nature is cyclical so is man's will to destroy. Like a Moth drawn to pulsating light, the painful histories of the past echo with terrifying glee. 

Rumbling drone hits your chest, a smooth contour of bass stroking a distant piano. Subdued humming flows out of Pär's nightly studio into the cold Swedish winter. Across the horizon Robert's angelic choirs boom. The smell of burnt circuits as he cranks his distortion to the melting point within the deep woods of Pennsylvania.

Aegri somnia returns with his long awaited second album on Cryo Chamber. 

The hum of the Endtime Psalms echo through burnt out buildings. Awaiting impending death as the sky grows dark. Black smoke wheezing from charred windows. We we're born from stardust, but are but puppets in a mindless game of DNA manipulation, life. 

Deep analogue drones rumble under the heavy boots of the human machine. Aegri Somnia plays the role of field recorder and audio manipulator with surgical precision.

Vinland is the third and last album in Northumbria’s trilogy inspired by the Norse discovery of Canada. 

The journey was long and hard, you lost good men sailing across the never ending sea, but now you stand on foreign land. The father of gods watches over you as his ravens circle the funeral pyre to bring his warriors home. 

The rocks here emanate a low hum, the silent wind carries the scent of honey and at nightly camp bestial cries echo between the mountains. Your men speak in hushed voices as the dark creeps close, they mutter about this being the territory of new gods. This dreamy land is getting to your people, some men wake screaming in the blackest hour from visions delivered by the dark below. But for you this expedition is one of enlightenment, the fresh rivers fill your mouth with the light of Yggdrasil, forests carry whispers from the mead halls beyond and as such have you convinced that this is the pathway between the worlds of gods and men. 

Using guitar and bass, and recording their improvised compositions live, Jim Field and Dorian Williamson create a deep textured sound world. Evoking the ancient wonder that the Norse explorers must have felt discovering Vinland, the Windswept Land.

Northumbria - The Nixe

We welcome Dahlia's Tear back to Cryo Chamber. After 6 years of silence this veteran dark ambient producer is finally back with a new album. Through the Nightfall Grandeur is a dreamy and multi-layered melancholic journey through worlds both inner and outer. 

"The dreamer watches you from atop the onyx tower. You are in his domain now, a world within a world beyond the dreamsphere where reality is born anew. Snow flakes melt on your neck as you peer out over a jagged landscape, is this real? You've asked yourself this question more times than you can remember, awakening from each dream within a new dream. Reality has grown into an old weathered memory, left behind at the surface of that first deep dive into the subconscious." 

The album revolves around a spiritual awakening where the shattering loneliness of the protagonist fuels the search for meaning. We follow through moonbathed nights on a journey through dark abysses, snowy mountains and desolate moors. 

A detailed and layered album that takes many repeat listens to fully explore all the complexities, one mystery at a time unto enlightenment.

Encroaching Shadows Beckon to Chase the Fleeing Light

Tomb of Ordeals is the fourth installment in the evocative and collaborative Tomb series. 

These wet stone walls have become your prison and eternal home since your capture. The smell of blood and marrow fills your lungs as your fingers scratch to get out. The deeper you submerge into your future tomb, the more the air turns malignant. Distant cries creeps within earshot and suckling sounds slither in the dark. This is your ordeal. Will you become another soul bound to these stones?

Mount Shrine serves us his 2nd solo album on Cryo Chamber. A deep and meditative journey set both inside and outside an Urban setting. 

The radio transmissions led you here, a city of memories past and passed. 

The streets lie silent as you watch from above the high rise. A twirling mountain casts a deafening shadow over this place. Here between the world of life and death you are but a tiny spec of dust on the shoulder of giants, a world built by the dreamers that came before you. The sleepers drift here, trapped in glitching time loops that crackle when reset. 

Ghosts on Broken Pavement is an album that takes us back to the safe embrace of childhood dreams. For lovers of deep subs, airy field recordings and harmonic drones this album is as atmospheric as it is beautiful.
