The second chapter in Vargkald’s ambient ritual, "The Standing Stone" leads us deeper into the mists of memory. A solitary monolith watches in silence as time slips past — surrounded by forest, aurora, and echoes of forgotten rites.

Layered with ambient drones, folk textures, and cinematic stillness, this instrumental track evokes the awe of ancient presence and the sacred weight of stillness.
