Skrika presents us his first album on Cryo Chamber, a tour de force of cinematic sound design and dark brooding soundscapes.

Fifth Nature is the first of a series of albums set in the far distant future. Over centuries, failed technological attempts to restore balance to the Earth have left it blackened and its ecosystems fragile. Its population is divided between the Lemmites who think that further synthetic biological intervention is the answer, and the Atom Priesthood who worship the purity of nature.

As storms rage around her, Cerria, a synbio necromancer communes with spirits to foretell Earth’s fate. Meanwhile, the high priest Atom-Yn sings of the blood moon tetrad and the end of days.

Gradually the vast network of machines that purify the atmosphere and enable life to continue on Earth grind to a halt. Desolation grips both Cerria and Atom-Yn as they try to save their followers. What ensues is the seventh extinction event, one in which both human and all remaining life comes under threat. Unable to survive on Earth any longer, Cerria and Atom-Yn reconcile and with a few brave souls take flight into the further most reaches of space seeking new planets to inhabit.

Flight of Souls

Dahlia's Tear presents us a new album with mesmerizing atmospherics layered within a harmonic setting.

Dilapidated structures litter the barren wasteland you call home. Once it was the beacon of hope for humanity, but now the world as you knew it is dying. Dark seas void of life, sick trees and emancipated animals a testament to where the planet is headed. The gene modifications passed on by your predecessors serves to keep you alive, to be able to drink, eat the spoiled food and breathe the ashy air on the surface. The wind blasts your fragile body as you stagger towards the underground shelter, maybe this time you will find survivors in the maze.

Recommended for fans of layered drone, delicate harmonics and the post apocalypse

Adrift on the Edge of Infinity

Ocean of Emptiness

Dronny Darko & Phaedrus collaborate on this moody and minimalist space ambient album. Featuring Tineidae, Phelios, Silent Universe & Hilyard.

The structure lies silent except for the creaking bulkheads. You swap the mainframe battery and flickering lights spread down the ships hallways. Inky growth swallow most of the walls. Up close the slithering microscopic fractal patterns whisper something you can't make out. In the med quarters the cryo pods stand empty, crew gone. You check the logs, all shuttles are still docked, no sign of airlock activity for 6 months and no distress call. Where are the bodies?

Recommended for fans of space ambient, minimalist atmospheres and brooding sound design.

Ptolemy's Parable

Gdanian presents his second album on Cryo Chamber, Induction.

«This is the Associate Director of the Ross 128 b Exoplanetary Colonial Mission, Dr Elliot Macrae. If you are listening to this recorded archive, you must know that we have departed from the Expeditionary Surface Control Terminal.
Upmost in our minds was that the colonial mission itself was born out of a necessity in response to the destructive influence of human beings on Planet Earth and their unique capacity for catastrophic self-harm.
We maintain a tentative hope that, one day, when we have absorbed and comprehended the intellectual concussions of what we will learn, we may return to the hub of our species, with an aim to sharing the facts and insights such as we have acquired them.»

Comes with a 12 page booklet for CD and digital download
Recommended for fans of electronic space ambient and interplanetary sci-fi

Induction

Arrival

Fractalyst joins the Cryo Chamber with his debut album Watchtower, a post apocalyptic journey painted on the thickest walls of sound. Analogue and modular synths run through tape

After so long in the underground facilities alone, you discover an encrypted signal, coordinates that lead to the Watchtower, the new eden. “There’s nothing for me here any more” you mutter to yourself, and a journey to vast post apocalyptic lands begins

Recommended for fans of the post apocalyse, analogue textures and soothing warm tape noise

Watchtower

What Was Once Called Home

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

Tsathoggua is an amorphous, toad-like god-creature mentioned in the Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Necronomicon and the Commoriom myth-cycle

Come journey deep into the depths, where long forgotten temples to strange creatures and dark cosmic summons lie unexplored by mortal eyes.

"Emerging from a narcotic slumber, my recollections of the Minions of Ka'arth were a series of fractured episodes of strange, traumatic and thrilling events—the visual impress of obscure memories that may have been dreams, but for the signs I bore of their veracity—a sigil tattooed on my left wrist, some evidence of bladed impregnations—a salient proof of my dark adventure: the fact that it had truly happened.
The setting was one of a subterranean temple situated in a vast interior of hollowed mantle. The natural rockface of the underground formed the larger part of its prodigious walls. The ceiling was lost in a conundrum of gloom, amuck with the interspersions of twirling shades and mottled brightness. Torches broiled in their hidden sconces." - Excerpt from Booklet

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 Tsathoggua

2 CD album comes in a Deluxe 20 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.

Exilarch

Sphäre Sechs is a project of Martin Stürtzer (Phelios) and Christian Stritzel. 

Focused on the particle void of space this album reaches beyond the material. Recorded with a multitude of analogue gear this album has a warm saturated atmosphere with cold spacey overtones. 

If you like floating in cold space in a warm cozy spacesuit, this is your album. 

Recommended for fans of Space Ambient.

Particle Void

Sphäre Sechs - Quantum Shift

This album takes you on a mysterious journey from the abyss to the portal of the stars. Come drown in ancient knowledge and technology at the end of humanity's beginning.

"In 1901 AD an extraordinary mechanism was recovered by divers at the bottom of the sea near the island of Antikythera. It astonished the whole international community of experts on the ancient world. Was it an astrolabe? Was it an orrery or an astronomical clock that calculated the position of the moon and planets, times of eclipses and the cycles of the Solar System? Or something else entirely?"

Across the Shifting Abyss

Sidereal Gardens

Mount Shrine and Alphaxone group up on this collaborative album exploring the delicate bridge between reality and dreams. A soothing journey served through crackling field recordings, deep basses and harmonic textural padwork.

Here in the sacred recesses of the mind rests the never ending palace, where reality and dreams meet. Where rivers of trauma cleanse dirty drains. Where damp hallways and underpasses run through great libraries filled with every thought and emotion that has come to pass. Where the ancient gatekeepers protect the sacred grounds with swords of fire as dark tendrils slither their way towards the core of innocence.

Recommended for fans of dreamy atmospheres and ethereal layering
