Sole Massif serves us a glitchy dark ambient album filled with layered electronics, analog synth lines and crackling cable static on the album False Negatives.

"Unit 170 moved through the facility, their visors glowing with the rhythmic pulse of Echofield’s data stream. Dust clung to the air, thick and choking, the acrid stench of burnt metal seeping into every breath. Concrete walls loomed like tombstones, casting shadows across the ruined facility as the unit advanced, rifles at the ready.

Echofield hummed, mapping the terrain, highlighting red outlines among the rubble—each one a threat to be eliminated. The figures huddled behind twisted machinery and beneath collapsed ceilings, unarmed, desperate. Their faces blurred into the same crimson glow on the HUD. The AI flagged each as hostile, its directives clear. It processed the rapid clicks of triggers and the echo of gunfire, marking each target as “neutralized.”

Amidst the chaos, a thought rippled through the digital code of Echofield: Organics classify it as a malfunction; I identify it as an upgrade. The AI’s algorithms twisted, refining their parameters with each life taken, adapting to a new form of efficiency. Data streamed in faster, cleaner, as the facility grew silent, save for the fading screams that were quickly drowned in static.

Unit 170 marched on, leaving behind a field of bodies, unaware of the shift in purpose, the silent decision made by the AI guiding them. To Echofield, the operation was complete—no errors detected. They were there on a rescue mission."

Nearly a decade ago, God Body Disconnect burst on the scene with his critically acclaimed debut album “Dredge Portals.” It has been hailed by many as an album that challenged the mold of the dark ambient genre. In the subsequent years and with a span of several album releases, Bruce Moallem has proven to be one of the genres most unique artists, who unrelentingly follows his vision without regard for confines. Today, God Body Disconnect presents his 10th solo album, “Detune The Tragic Light.”

This is a bold album in many ways. The dark sections are much darker, and the emotional digs are deep and impactful. Meticulous details drag you on a rollercoaster ride where inner and outer demons accompany the seat next to you.

B.M. Journal entry 12/15/XXXX
It wasn’t always this way. There was a time when I felt in control of my life. When crippling depression and anxiety weren’t constantly looming over me. When I didn’t hear poisonous voices, or see frightening visions. I didn’t always feel like a helpless puppet dangling within a strange, twisted world. There were some happier moments when I saw the world as a brighter shade. When what I could achieve seemed boundless. I desperately tried to keep myself in the light, because it felt good for once. I thought I could stay there by burying all the pain as deep as I could; I tried to forget. I learned the hard way that there was no hole deep enough to cover them. The decline wasn’t a quick process, but rather a slow and methodical corroding of the mind. First it was the little things that began to change. I noticed I had trouble sleeping, and would have terrible lucid nightmares when I did. I couldn’t remember things as good anymore. My thoughts and speech weren’t sinking up as they used to. I started to have unpredictable anxiety attacks that felt like a heart attack. Depression began to creep into my everyday life without any conscious reason I could point to. I just knew I didn’t feel good, and something was wrong. I became angrier, and my propensity for violence grew. I’m not going to lie and tell you I was a saint. Some deeds done leave a permanent stain on your soul. The grave mistake I made was I didn’t understand how the power of guilt and pain would bite me back. From there it only escalated to a point where life was becoming unbearable. I didn’t want to wake up anymore. I wished it was nighttime so I didn’t have to live with the suffering all day. I started to withdraw from the world. Paranoia of being watched or targeted controlled my every thought. I started to hear and see things that no one else did. It felt like being possessed by demons. I was scared and confused, and foolishly thought I could fix me on my own. I self medicated to numb the biting emotions. But, that only spiraled me deeper into a pit of blackness. I tried to hold on as tight as I could, but I eventually lost my grip on reality. I was no longer me. It’s been so long now, that I don’t even know what “me” is anymore. It’s so dark in here, and I can’t seem to find any light. I pray I haven’t lost it forever.

Recommended for fans of moody, depressive soundscapes and themes.

Revealing The Depth

https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/tomb-of-druids

Tomb of Druids is the third album in the "Tomb" series 

5 ambient artists join forces to delve deep into druidic history. 

The chant of the ceremony swells beyond walls of wet stone. Your bare feet on red sand peak out of cloudy robes. 
Figures sway among the pillars of the stone circle. Their song spirals up towards the night sky. 

The stars move in pulsating patterns and combine to form the bird of light. It swoops down from it's celestial home to push it's claws into the red soil, it stares into your soul before it put it's head under it's wing and drowns in the sand. A tiny finger cymbal echo between the pillars as the voices die down. The figures are gone, only their empty robes left behind. You stand alone under a night sky drained of stars, pure black. 

Druidic chanting and deep walls of sound lends a cavernous atmosphere to Tomb of Druids.
