Ugasanie knows for his freezing desolate soundscapes is back with a new album taking us even further north to explore the concept of the unusual and mysterious phenomenon known as arctic hysteria (also known as menerik and the call of the North Star). It manifests itself only in the polar night, and only when the northern lights shine. Man, as if under hypnosis journeys north. In this state of trance he is almost impossible to stop, he becomes aggressive, sings a song, mumbles, experience hallucinations and persistently continues towards the polar star. It is not uncommon that these people end up freezing or starving to death. 

In track 5 the voice belongs to an old yakutish man. The recording was made during an attack of polar hysteria. This field recording was recorded in a Yakutia group of researchers led by Eduard Alekseev in the 60s.

Ugasanie - In the Waves of LIght

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.

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..."
