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.

God Body Disconnect - Detune the Tragic Light - 02 Portraits of Possession

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.

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.

Tsarewitch & Brooddark - Supra Memoriam - 04 Endless Flow

A bleak tapestry of guitar-driven drones unfolds across crumbling skylines and irradiated ruins. This post-apocalyptic compilation drifts through ash-covered cities, scorched earth, and ghostly echoes of what once was.

Haunting textures, slow-burning distortion, and distant melodic decay guide you through the aftermath of civilization.

Recommended for fans of desolate soundscapes, dark drone and atmospheric storytelling.

Cryo Chamber - Echoes of the Hollow Earth - 03 The Next Commuter - Shouts from the Open Window

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 - 02 Galactic Winds

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..."
