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."

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.

The dark industrial noises of Brooddark meet the mystical rituals of Tsarewitch to merge into a hypnotic, mesmerizing and cinematic canvases.

Supra Memoriam is an album about ancient memory, or rather about what lies beyond it, the great flow of power that awakens in an industrial society devastated by wars and crises. Drowning out their own thoughts with the noise of factory machines, not giving their hands a rest in endlessly repeating mechanical movements, disappointed and depressed, people will reject scientific progress and the dogmas of ideologies. And they will reach for what is beyond, for what was long forgotten — and the great flow will rush out, and the witches will be reborn. And what was locked in the chest will begin to seek oblation.
