DARK AMBIENT (HORROR MUSIC)

Wordclock presents us his 4th album on Cryo Chamber

Religious visions and apparitions form some of the most universal and striking stories and myths. The desire for breakthrough and grasp of bliss through direct experiences has given way to incredibly imaginative visual and intelectual descriptions of sights of gods in both blissful and hellish states . A Greater Bliss draws upon these stories and writings to create a world of sounds that seeks to mimic the various facets of these myths, from the heaviest and most desperate to the blissful and dreamlike.

The album brought together an international collaboration of musicians during its development time. Portuguese composer and project lead Pedro Pimentel on electronics, synths and various traditional instruments of European and Middle Eastern origin, American saxophonist Travis Laplante, Norwegian cellist Amund Ulvestad also on voice, Portuguese percussionist Luis Neto and Georgian trumpeter George Shamanauri (Phonotek).

The resulting album breaks apart and merges together a diverse amount of genres and musical backgrounds in wide swelling motions and dreamlike musical fragments in both free form and mantra like compositions, crashing acoustic instrumentation with tape fragments and digital spectral synthesis. From contemporary and dark jazz to traditional music, neoclassical, ambient, ritual religious music and electronic experimental. Spiritual and Touching.

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.

CD edition of 300 copies in 6 panel digisleeve. 7 Tracks. Running Time 54:14
2LP edition, 100 copies on Marbled Vinyl, 200 copies on black vinyl, in gatefold sleeve. 7 Tracks. Running Time 54:14

Willix , hiræth - we never made it

The two bearded Swedes join forces on this collaborative album. Black Corner Den is the result of long winter studio sessions separated by the atlantic ocean but made possible by the internet. Lonely moments in the company of the night lamp, overlooking the messy pile of tape loops while the machines hummed and the piano played until the morning. 

Exploring the opium dens at the end of the 19th century this album takes you deep into the soothing dreams of dead poets. 

"The streets lay silent as the floor creeks under your bare feet. The old loft lit by a wax candle, it's light dancing over your oak desk. You grab the vial of black ink and the leather bound book as you scurry out the door into the humid night. You pass trails of fire as the lamplighter tends to the myriad lanterns adorning the bridge. A left turn leads you down a set of stone stairs where the satin clad lounge welcomes you in. 

Sweet smoke lingers in here where gentlemen gather to dream about the black sea. Your booth at the far end stands prepared. A pipe, tinderbox and purple pillow for a tired head. You have a friend tonight and it calls itself the Black Corner Den." 

Pär Boström’s dreamlike soundscapes combines with the careful melodies and elegant structures of Simon Heath. The perfect soundtrack for decadent nights or introverted reading sessions, preferably combined. 

Available in 24 bit & Vinyl

Secondo e ultimo capitolo della storia di Galeria

Galeria II

Malaria

5) Harrogat - Malaria

After their acclaimed album Black Corner Den, Atrium Carceri teams up with Cities Last Broadcast once more to bring the 19th century to life.

Meet the bearer of all the keys and protector of the holy order of things. Come and drink your way to an elegant dream.

Black Stage of Night is the result of a year of nightly studio sessions, again in the company of the trustworthy lantern. Two Swedes, separated by the Atlantic Ocean and united in their vision to create an album that invokes the dream state.

”Can you feel it? The mind becomes the attic. High above the murky streets. A window overlooking the great order of things. Here comes the night to warm itself. Chaos unmade. Darkness drawn to the light and kept company. Sleep now or spend the quiet hours by the lantern. It will be lit all night.”

Crooked tape loops combine with piano and acoustic resonances. A melancholic, dusty and timeless album that grows and pulsates.

The CD version comes in a 16 page hard cover deluxe DigiBook with matte lamination. Digital booklet included with download.
