With Lifeless Ground, Sjellos plunges listeners back into the dark, mechanical abyss introduced on his last album Transmission Lost (2013), intensifying the grim sense of desolation and uncertainty. Here, every sound, every shift of air, hints at something unknown and unsettling lurking just out of reach—or perhaps closer than you dare to imagine.

As you strain to listen, faint echoes reverberate through the bleak silence, but their source remains hidden. It’s been decades since you felt anything familiar; now, even the texture of the ground beneath you feels foreign, as if you've stepped into another world—or become someone else. Each attempt to move brings flashes of forgotten memories, fractured images of a past life. As they piece together, you question not just where you are but who you are. Something unidentifiable has changed, leaving only a path ahead, one marked by the relentless pull of transformation.

Skrika presents his 4th album on Cryo Chamber, Betrayal of Caerimar. A masterfully crafted cinematic dark ambient experience continuing to expand on the universe that started with the first album Fifth Nature.

Cerria’s bastion at Caerimar is one of her furthest most outposts across the ice fields on Soludenia. After six cycles of warding off the Chimera, the tythlotic trackers are growing wearisome and rumours of insurgency are growing. In an attempt to quell the mounting unrest Cerria travels out to Caerimar at the time of ritual festivities marking the beginning of a new cycle. The trackers see this coming together as an opportune time to overthrow Cerria and her entourage. Taken unaware, those at the festivities are overpowered and scatter, with Cerria taking refuge in the energy conversion facilities at the remote edges of Caerimar. With communications cut off, she and a few loyal Augments find themselves isolated. At dawn, the merciless trackers infiltrate the facility, ruthlessly effective in their desire to hunt down those seeking sanctuary within. Having engineered the trackers to protect against the Chimera, the Augments suddenly find themselves the ones being hunted. Overwhelmed by the relentless raids by the hordes of trackers – their hideous cries piercing the now silent icefields, rescue comes too late, and Cerria is lost.

Recommended for fans of sci-fi atmospheres, exceptional hi-fi sound design and environmental mixing.

Alphaxone and Dronny Darko joins forces on this deep ambient album filled with foggy shores and dark oceans

"The fog no longer clings to the surface—it has sunk into the ocean’s depths, where it seethes with an otherworldly glow. Whispers echo through the water, carrying hints of lost time and cosmic resonance. Flickering lights and shifting currents that defy logical explanation. The ocean’s surface is no mere barrier; it is a threshold reflecting the void above, and below it lies a realm shaped by forces beyond human perception.
Scientists, philosophers, and spiritual seekers gather along the silent shores, compelled by unsettling anomalies that beckon them deeper: objects drift in patterns that suggest a language of the unknown, and ghostly shapes glide through the depths before dissolving into darkness. These explorers speak of a place where time bends and reality fractures, a fluid zone that mingles Earthly matter with cosmic echoes.

Beneath the ocean’s hush, the fog twists and coils, forming gateways to something profoundly alien. Every surge of the tide seems to channel distant whispers, as though the sea itself were breathing. To venture into these waters is to brush against the edges of comprehension—an invitation to relinquish the safety of the familiar and embrace the boundless expanse of the unseen. Here, where the fog conceals as much as it reveals, the only certainty is that an Invisible World awaits those who dare to peer into its haunting depths."

Caldon Glover presents their third album for Cryo-Chamber: Eternal Night Radio, a reflection on the uncanny dream, the waking nightmare, and the place between dreaming and waking where the world feels more unbearable than the darkest dream.

You're walking down a street at night. To your left there is nothing you can see, just the sound of running water. To the right houses line the street, mostly dark, but a few lit from within. Figures stand at the windows in silhouette, their faces obscured. Above you are streetlights, separated by deep shadows and yet there are no stars. Behind you walks a stranger, but you can not turn to see him.

In the Night, everything has disappeared.

Caldon Glover - Eternal Night Radio - 02 How Can It Be Said That The World Is Well

Merger is a descent into the hollow geometry of deep space—stark, inert, and without pulse. Built from long, decaying drones and microscopic textures, it evokes the slow drift of mass through dark vacuum, where contact is impossible and time hangs suspended.

Tones stretch until they fray. Frequencies blur into low haze. What remains is environmental residue—something left behind in the wake of collapse.

An album for those drawn to the edge of perception, Merger is isolation made audible. Cold. Still. Irreversible.

Silent Universe - Merger - 04 Gravity

Dark Beautifully Textured Space Ambient by ProtoU on her latest album Dark Orbit.

"The Space Freighter Aetheris drifts beyond the last marked sectors, into the gaps where cartographers gave up. Out here, the stars thin out, and the silence feels heavier. When they find the structures suspended in space, it’s almost by accident—monoliths, carved and polished, drifting in a system that shouldn't exist.

Massive, seamless, and unmarked, they rise out of the void, absorbing light, swallowing signals. Against better judgment, the crew goes inside. The interiors are vast halls of smooth stone, but the halls are lifeless and abandoned. No dust. No decay. Just cold corridors running off into the dark.

Nothing reacts. Nothing watches. But the crew feels it anyway—the weight of the place, like stepping into a cathedral not built for their kind..."
