The Earthen Fortress

Robert is back with his 4th full length album, Phantoms Received. A deep guitar pedal fueled journey through ethereal soundscapes.

You stare into the mirror and something looks back. It’s not your normal reflection, but some maddening phantom of yourself. The chaos of life rings true in every facet of your daily musings. Your phantom's eyes reflect this and there is a permeating sorrow swimming in the irises. Life, death, happiness, sadness…all links in the same chain that is swinging from the phantom's neck. Will you dance the sickening waltz to the human experience?

Recommended for fans of ritual percussion and melancholic dirges

CD and Digital comes with an 8 page booklet designed by Erik Osvald

Shuttle

Dronny Darko & Ugasanie join forces once more for the long awaited follow up to their previous album Arctic Gates.

"Deep beneath the ice a disturbing past sleeps, unaware of the tiny human footsteps outside its crystalline bed chamber. The waves high above the chasms frost ceiling recede to subdued noise as the expedition moves further down into the abyss. The research equipment starts giving out sharp bleeping sounds as they move into a magnetic field, and on the other sound of the ice wall something stirs in response"

Recommended for fans of multi-layered sound design and dark arctic drone

Dark Source of the North

In Search of an Object

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.

Keosz presents his soundtrack for the sci-fi short film Neven, a touching soundtrack that blends dark ambience with harmonic textures to create a melancholic opus.

NEVEN is an independent film project made by a non-profesional crew with no budget. Film was created in cooperation with Theatre Divadlo z Pasáže - Municipal Community Theatre working with actors with down syndrome.

"As a result of the War, Peter lost everything he loved at very young age. In a world devastated by war, there is little hope left for him. The world is very dangerous place, full of out-of-control war machines. In all this darkness, Peter finds a long-forgotten sense of happiness in the form of an unexpected friendship with a damaged robot named Neven (Croatian name meaning 'everlasting'. )

Recommended for fans of harmonic layering, the post apocalypse and melancholy

2 CD Digipak comes in a beautiful matte 8 panel digipak in matte designed by Erik Osvald. CD and Download comes with a 16 page uncoated paper booklet with behind the scenes shots from the film Neven.

With Azathoth Cryo Chamber double the effort with a 2 CD release follow up. No less than 20 artists has been working for the last year to synchronize and co-create Azathoth. Azathoth is a collaboration NOT a compilation. 

Azathoth is an Outer God in the Cthulhu Mythos and Dream Cycle stories of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors. 

Azathoth's precise appearance is only hinted at throughout the Mythos, and indeed may be unknowable by mortal beings. It is described as occupying a position outside of the universe, where it is attended by a cohort of alien servants

Cryo Chamber Collaboration - Azathoth 2

Lesa Listvy is back with their Second album on Cryo Chamber. An analogue heavy album with beautiful textures on warm subs.

Behold, the sacred coding of the lapsed Planeteers. They have committed their knowledge to musical intonations, to semblances of intellect in aural constructs, to the language of drones. The Saviour god-ship surface-to-air vessel has been encoded with several encrypted editions of the Preservation Directive. The divine loops of the source materials undergo their perpetual gyrations on the reel-to-reel of their venerable sound bursts. The Covenant of Analogues propels its drone-scripts, the hieroglyphs of the perished few, from the proto-dwellers of the Maxime Cataclysmus. They are the principal invocations of the forgotten, the diagnostic prophecies of the regeneration of the civilised world. The proto-dwellers have projected their immaculate permutations of the sacred message through rifts in time. But it cannot exist without being received by a conscious entity. The Saviour is a voice in the darkness that says: "Absorb our codices. We are the remnants of a lost species. Until you receive us, we are nothing."
