With Acéphale, German ritual ambient project VORTEX delves deeper into the mythic undercurrents of philosophy, ritual, and sound. The album continues the band’s ongoing exploration of aural mythology through subtle drone compositions, ritualistic percussion, and an overarching sense of psychosexual tension.

Taking inspiration from the work of Georges Bataille, Acéphale evokes the forbidden energies at the heart of human experience. In the 1930s, Bataille founded both a journal and a secret society under the same name Acéphale (“headless”), centered on the image of the headless god, a symbol of rebellion against reason, hierarchy, and political authority. Through this figure, Bataille envisioned liberation from the “servility of reason,” embracing immanence, transgression, and the chaotic freedom found beyond control.

VORTEX founder Marcus Stiglegger, a long-time scholar of Bataille’s philosophy, channels these concepts into sonic form, crafting an immersive experience that oscillates between death and desire, ecstasy and dissolution. The album invokes the sacred that emerges from transgression: the body freed from hierarchy, the spirit confronting its own excess.
Musically, Acéphale marks a return to VORTEX’s dark ambient origins, brooding textures, processed field recordings, eerie voices, and ritual drum patterns that follow the unsettling rhythm of desire itself. Within this vortex, order and chaos intertwine, producing an atmosphere both meditative and confrontational.

The release features guest vocal performances by David S. (Dawn + Dusk Entwined) and explicit photographic artwork that mirrors the album’s themes of sacred eroticism and sacrifice.

Included is a 12 page booklet with extensive linear notes by Bataille specialist Jack Sargeant.

Acéphale stands as perhaps the most sublime and conceptually charged VORTEX release to date, a work that summons the listener into the ritual of the headless god.

Third Full-Length Ritual Offering

Oastar marks the long-awaited third manifestation of O Saala Sakraal, the ceremonial vessel guided by nOh v°v (of Trepaneringsritualen and Norn) and Sunnifa St. Álander (of Hadewych).

Recorded in the aftermath of the discovery and subsequent destruction of an ancient solar temple by local authorities in the eastern region of Hamaland, a land still shadowed by the enduring influence of the Church, this new work channels both lament and invocation.

Amidst these events, O Saala Sakraal deepen their exploration of the sacred and the profane, weaving six aural ceremonies designed to open liminal sonic spaces where the residual wounds of Christian dominion may begin to heal.

Steeped in woodland mysticism, Oastar unfolds as a cycle of rituals, to facilitate flow states, purify and transform, and call forth coalescence from fragmentation. Beneath its layers, a burning resonance persists: a yearning for restoration, for a return to the primordial harmony that once bound all things.

The album closes with a single solemn hymn to dusk, a slow descent into stillness where night and renewal converge.

Six pieces of consolidation and transcendence, offered to the world in its darkest hour.

An Alchemical Voyage Beyond the Threshold of Matter

Portuguese ritual ambient entity WOLFSKIN returns with Ring of Spheres, a transcendental new work that expands the project’s long-standing devotion to metaphysical sound into cosmic territory. Conceived as a meditative and transformative journey, Ring of Spheres distills the essence of ritual music to its purest form: vibration, resonance, and spiritual ascent.

Recorded across a series of focused sessions with gongs and analog electronics, Ring of Spheres marks one of WOLFSKIN’s most disciplined and immersive explorations to date. The album is built entirely from these two elemental sound sources, a deliberate limitation that births vast sonic worlds from minimal matter. Each tone unfolds like the motion of celestial bodies, each pulse echoing through the void, forming a “cosmic liturgy” that blurs the boundaries between physical and spiritual space.

The conceptual framework of Ring of Spheres draws from Hermetic Alchemy, guiding the listener through the seven classical stages of the Magnum Opus, from the nigredo of dense matter and human limitation, through the successive refinements of albedo, citrinitas, and finally into rubedo, the red dawn of spiritual union. Each track mirrors a phase of transmutation, leading toward the ultimate Sublimation, the dissolution of the material self into pure, radiant consciousness.

The album unfolds as an extended act of meditation and initiation. The gongs act as both instrument and symbol: circular, radiant, resonant, their sound waves describing the eternal cycles of creation and dissolution. Electronic textures weave through them like invisible currents, mapping a vast stellar architecture of sound.

At once austere and luminous, Ring of Spheres stands as a testament to WOLFSKIN’s capacity to merge esoteric vision with sonic craft. It is music as philosophical practice, as ritual gesture, as alchemy in vibration, a mirror of the cosmos rendered in sound.

Stellar artwork for the ever creative mind at Heretic Studio.

WOLFSKIN "Ring of Spheres" CD / DL (266th Cycle)

Beyond Sensory Experience announce "In This Our Life", a new album that extends and deepens the austere, melancholic sound they have refined since their formation in 2001. The duo continue to balance sparse, cinematic atmospheres with richly layered textures and haunting melodic motifs.  

"In This Our Life" follows a sequence of records that critics have described as immersive, melancholic and beautifully unsettling, works which place the duo among the most discreetly consistent voices in contemporary dark ambient. Previous releases were praised for their ability to create vast emotional registers from minimal material, a characteristic the new album amplifies while exploring more expansive song-forms and dynamic contrasts.  

Stylistically, the album keeps the trademark BSE touch: low-frequency washes, distant vocal fragments, analogue warmth and crystalline, slowly unfolding harmonies. Where earlier records often emphasized brooding stasis, "In This Our Life" moves the project into more narrative territory, allowing passages of melancholic catharsis to emerge from dense, claustrophobic beds of sound. Reviewers of earlier records noted the group’s talent for making the sparse feel monumental, a sensibility that informs this new collection.  

The production embraces both analogue textures and carefully balanced percussive elements. Tracks shift between shadowed ambience and melodic refrains that linger, and the sequencing creates a discreet arc, from intimate, near-silent openings to more emphatic, emotionally charged culminations. Fans of the project’s prior work will recognize the continuity, while new listeners will find entry points in the album’s stronger melodic hooks and cinematic pacing.

BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE “In This Our Life” CD / DL (256th Cycle)

Birds Drink My Blood is the second full-length album from Born Erased, the latest solo venture of Bulgarian musician Angel Simitchiev. Conceived as a meditation on nature’s brutal beauty, the album channels the relentless flow of the natural world, its internal hierarchies, and the unseen forces that shape it. Electronic instrumentation forms the foundation of the record, marking this as the closest Born Erased has come to the final works released under Simitchiev’s now-retired Mytrip alias.

Where I Am The End Of The World (BLWBCK, 2023) relied on the tension between acoustic drums, distorted guitars and ambient electronics, Birds Drink My Blood turns inward, placing its focus firmly on electronic expression. Across six pieces, the music moves between stillness and intensity, occupying a space where fragile motifs and submerged power coexist.

Born Erased once again opens the door to collaboration. French electronic artist Mondkopf contributes his intricate synth work to the track “Unmade,” while Denmark’s Vanity Productions brings his signature melancholy-drenched feedback and noise experiments to the abrasive “Dead Sun Emblem.” These collaborative tracks enhance the album’s contrasts, highlighting moments of interplay between guest interventions and Born Erased’s core sound.

Birds Drink My Blood stands as a vivid reflection of a world where grace and violence remain inseparably entwined, and where collaboration amplifies the tension between beauty and brutality.

Inspired both by the physical beauty as well as the mystic spirit which shrouds the northern landscapes, the album is the culmination of several years of studio experimentation and sound exploration. Blending guitar drones, icy synth pads and environmental sounds, "Midnight Sun" attempts to convey the solemn spirit of awe and reverence for the great white north through the use of sound and texture.

Dark Ages - Dungeons - Excerpt

After the dissolution of Psychomanteum, Apocryphos was slowly formed by now sole member Robert C. Kozletsky and continues further down the pathways charted by Psychomanteum. The Prisoner's Cinema is a duality in concept, exploring two separate paths that intersect each other through out.  The first path revolves around sensory deprivation, isolation and the frightening, yet spiritual aspects of these experiences. The second path is that of a personal nature, bearing a literal interpretation of the title "Prisoner's Cinema" where you play the prisoner locked away in the confines of your own conscious mind standing alone against your own darkness.  This is the troubled soundtrack to a soul starving for catharsis, a release from the chains that hold us down in this uncompromising world. The Prisoner's Cinema is graced with the signature haunting imagery of Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri) and also features a special guest collaboration by Frederic Arbour (Havan / Visions…) on one track.  Psychomanteum may be dead, but out of its ashes, Apocryphos has risen to expand one's soul. Listen and release...

The Poetic Abyss of Collage and Vision

Paw Grabowski, known artistically as øjeRum, is a Danish visionary whose work exists in the evocative realms between memory, dreams, and the passage of time. Renowned for his intricate and meditative collages, øjeRum transforms fragments of vintage materials into timeless compositions that resonate with haunting beauty. His art invites viewers to engage with a dialogue of silence—one that whispers of loss, transformation, and the fragility of existence.

Following the success of Stigma, a powerful synthesis of visual and auditory art that melded øjeRum’s distinct collages with his ambient musical compositions, this second book from Cyclic Press continues to explore his deeply introspective practice. Each piece is a window into a world of layered emotions, where the ephemeral becomes eternal and where simplicity reveals profound complexity.

øjeRum’s approach to art is deeply intuitive, driven by a fascination with decay and renewal. His work often reflects a process of deconstruction and reconstruction, echoing the cycles of nature and life itself. Themes of detachment, transience, and emotional depth permeate his pieces, encouraging viewers to pause and contemplate their own experiences of time and space.

This new collection not only builds upon the foundations laid by Stigma but also ventures into uncharted territories of øjeRum’s creative vision. It is an exploration of the void and the plenitude within; an invitation to lose oneself in the layers of meaning and texture he meticulously crafts. Through these works, øjeRum continues his quest to illuminate the unseen and to honor the stillness at the heart of existence.

Let this book be your guide into the quiet, powerful world of øjeRum—a space where art transcends form and becomes a mirror to the soul.

ØjeRum - Fravær Til Fravær- Excerpt

The Classic Dark Ambient Masterpiece Reissued as Double LP & CD

Originally released in 1999, Sephiroth’s "Cathedron" remains a landmark in the dark ambient and tribal industrial genres. Now, this long-time classic returns in a stunning double LP and CD reissue, offering both longtime fans and new listeners the chance to experience its immersive depths like never before.

Created in the early 90's by Ulf Söderberg, Sephiroth was born from a profound fascination with myths, rituals, and ancient monuments left behind by lost civilizations. Inspired by the works of Graeme Revell, Lustmord, and Nurse With Wound, the album unfolds as an auditory journey through the inexorable passage of time, evoking images of sunken cities, fallen towers, and overgrown ruins swallowed by nature’s relentless grasp. Dark, eerie soundscapes, ritualistic percussion, and field recordings from Cairo, Iceland, and the Nordic wilderness converge to form an unforgettable sonic experience.

This new edition brings the album to life in its most immersive format yet, with bonus material and expanded packaging that pays homage to its legacy. A must-have for any dark ambient collection, this reissue cements Cathedron as an essential masterpiece of the genre.

Vestigial Announces Long-Awaited CD Reissue of Cult Dark Ambient Debut "Translucent Communion".

An Ominous Classic from the Depths of Italy’s Underground Returns.

Italy’s shadowy sound architect Vestigial, the artistic alias of Peppe Ferrillo, announces the long-awaited CD reissue of his 2008 dark ambient debut, "Translucent Communion". A cult favorite in Italy’s experimental music scene and long out of print, this reissue brings back the bleak meditations and apocalyptic soundscapes that first established Ferrillo as a visionary voice in ambient music.

Translucent Communion carved its place in the genre with an approach that was subtle, textural, and deeply atmospheric. Unlike many of its peers, Vestigial’s debut refrained from relying on standard droning techniques or gothic theatrics. Instead, the album evoked vast, desolate landscapes, tectonic movements, boiling magma, and icy voids with restrained precision and haunting elegance.

Critics praised the album’s minimalist ethos and meditative power. Now, nearly two decades later, Translucent Communion returns to physical form, presented in a new CD edition with Ferrillo’s own updated design work, bleak, elegant, and deeply interconnected with the sonic content, reinforcing his identity not only as a musician but as a complete aesthetic auteur.

With a growing international appreciation for dark ambient and minimalist electronic music, this reissue offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to revisit (or discover) a defining work in Vestigial’s haunting catalogue, a debut that whispered of extinction, cosmic indifference, and what lingers in the silence beyond civilization.

Vestigial - Anthropic Uncreation - Excerpt

American Dark Ambient sound sculptor AJNA returns with his latest full-length work, New Revelations of Being, an eleven-track descent into the abyss of human psyche and metaphysical dread. Following his acclaimed Cyclic Law releases, this new opus draws direct inspiration from the fevered writings of Antonin Artaud’s Artaud 1937 Apocalypse.

With New Revelations of Being, AJNA channels Artaud’s fragmented visions of destruction, renewal, and transcendence through a vast palette of subterranean drones, spectral resonances, and suffocating atmospherics. Each track unfolds like a psychic document, blurring the line between revelation and delirium, guiding the listener into haunted states where words dissolve into vibration and consciousness is unmoored from form.

At once oppressive and illuminating, the album furthers AJNA’s ongoing exploration of the boundaries of perception, death, and rebirth. Dense textures coil and fracture into hidden harmonics, mirroring Artaud’s own descent into madness as a vessel for ecstatic truth.

New Revelations of Being cements AJNA as one of the foremost practitioners of the Dark Ambient tradition, offering not just music but a transformative experience, a ritual in sound that demands surrender.

With Acéphale, German ritual ambient project VORTEX delves deeper into the mythic undercurrents of philosophy, ritual, and sound. The album continues the band’s ongoing exploration of aural mythology through subtle drone compositions, ritualistic percussion, and an overarching sense of psychosexual tension.

Taking inspiration from the work of Georges Bataille, Acéphale evokes the forbidden energies at the heart of human experience. In the 1930s, Bataille founded both a journal and a secret society under the same name Acéphale (“headless”), centered on the image of the headless god, a symbol of rebellion against reason, hierarchy, and political authority. Through this figure, Bataille envisioned liberation from the “servility of reason,” embracing immanence, transgression, and the chaotic freedom found beyond control.

VORTEX founder Marcus Stiglegger, a long-time scholar of Bataille’s philosophy, channels these concepts into sonic form, crafting an immersive experience that oscillates between death and desire, ecstasy and dissolution. The album invokes the sacred that emerges from transgression: the body freed from hierarchy, the spirit confronting its own excess.
Musically, Acéphale marks a return to VORTEX’s dark ambient origins, brooding textures, processed field recordings, eerie voices, and ritual drum patterns that follow the unsettling rhythm of desire itself. Within this vortex, order and chaos intertwine, producing an atmosphere both meditative and confrontational.

The release features guest vocal performances by David S. (Dawn + Dusk Entwined) and explicit photographic artwork that mirrors the album’s themes of sacred eroticism and sacrifice.

Acéphale stands as perhaps the most sublime and conceptually charged VORTEX release to date, a work that summons the listener into the ritual of the headless god.

A descent beyond death, a return to the origins of memory.

With The Journey to Reach the Fathers, Italian dark ambient visionary New Risen Throne delivers a monumental work of sonic transcendence, a meditation on death, ancestry, and the dissolution of the self.

The album unfolds as an inner passage beyond the boundaries of life, a transition into a realm suspended between memory and disintegration. Across five symbolic gates, the listener follows the path of a soul crossing from the mortal plane into ancestral depths. Each threshold represents a shedding, of fear, of guilt, of the fragile remnants of individuality, until what remains is no longer identity, but essence.

At the heart of this passage stands the Father: both guide and archetype, a primordial presence linking end and origin, loss and continuity. This is no promise of redemption or paradise, but a return to a distant, pre-human realm, where the lineage of the fathers of the fathers persists, silent and eternal, beneath the surface of all becoming.

Sonically, The Journey to Reach the Fathers extends New Risen Throne’s command of ritual dark ambient into its most profound form yet. Layered drones, corroded frequencies, and glacial reverberations intertwine to create soundscapes where time folds inward, bending into an inner spiral of resonance and decay.

Each composition becomes an act of purification and remembrance, a rite through which sound transforms into memory, and memory into presence. The result is a dense, immersive experience that stands as both requiem and revelation, a work about loss and continuity, return and dissolution.

Even as matter fades, The Journey to Reach the Fathers reminds us that every silence retains its trace, like the breath of those who came before, still echoing, still guiding.

"Procession" heralds the reawakening of the acclaimed swedish dark ambient project Desiderii Marginis, an album that sounds at the same time warmingly familiar and inspiringly new. While Desiderii Marginis is perhaps not as prolific as some other acts, it's "quality over quantity" motto always makes it well worth the wait and this is certainly no exception. The eight pieces that make up this new album stand firmly on their own, and yet form an even more remarkable whole. Johan Levin envokes a grand soundscape, beneath the faded remnants of the celestial spheres where timbres have space to grow, evolve and reflect off each other, a sombre, melancholic thoughtfullness, a calm to dwell in, and long back to. The atmosphere of the album is not that of solid darkness, or an abyss opening beneath you, but rather a wintery pale, grey dusk casting long, sweeping shadows. A haze that makes you uncertain if it’s really getting lighter or darker. We're honored to welcome Johan Levin's long standing project to the ever expanding Cyclic Law family.

Melodic atmospheric guitar work, lush string arrangements and slow, heavy percussive rhythms are present and elevated to new heights. Written and recorded while beholding a wintry landscape in his newly built studio ”Asham Room”, he’s created a perfect balance of complex structures through his distinctive sorrowful, yet hopeful songwriting.
