Teaser for the new raison d'être studio album 'Mise en Abyme', out on Transgredient Records 2014. 

'Mise en Abyme' (placed into the abyss) is an inner katabasis journey to the most hidden and darkest parts of the Self. Conceptually the album contains ingredients from 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante or any similar stories/myths around the katabasis theme. Instead of being linked to religion, history or morality, 'Mise en Abyme' is purely a psychological and therapeutic trip to the underworld. But even in the most dark and chaotic places in the depths there are small shades of light, hope and understanding; one can be enlightened and purified in the return from an inferno.

...But The Fire Burns No More

Atrium Carceri presents us the album Forgotten Gods, exploring the underworld beneath our cities.

Far below the abandoned subway stations and sewers our reality collapses as tunnels turns to labyrinths and ritual halls where ancient cults chant in the dark. And deeper still, old civilizations of insectoid guardians and biomechanical priests guard outwordly artifacts and passageways to the ancient city.

Here roam the forgotten gods whom the unfortunate dwellers of the dark worship.

Here roam the hybrid creatures forged in the Machine City as its decaying birthing chambers cry for human eggs and seminal fluids.

Here the gates to the ancient city opens momentarily into the eternal labyrinth if you'd be unwise enough to visit...

Recommended for fans of Industrial Dark Ambient, Occultism and Hypnotic Unholy Rhythms

Hardcover Digibook CD and Digital Download comes with a 16 page booklet with art and text by Simon Heath

Pathway to Nothing

Atrium Carceri & Kammarheit presents us Apparatus, a dark cavernous underground ambient album exploring both a barren surface of enormous structures and ancient underground passageways. Analog tape reels, haunting electronics, pulsating basslines and massive reverbs combine for a deep journey through warm and dark sound

Apparatus

Cerulean Depths

The Nightmare Machine is a series of spooky lo-fi short tracks sounding like they are playing from the rusted circuits of a lost horror game cartridge left inserted in a blown up vintage game console. The dread, melancholy and creepiness they bring with them reek of the decay and fear that many times can dominate our most profound nightmares, testimony of inner torments that a lot of people have to conceal everyday and then manifest through their agitated sleep.
 
Originally aimed to be the soundtrack of an 8-bit game project that still has to come to light because of several unconveniences, I thought it would be a pity to abandon them and deny listeners some healthy shivers; thus, I decided to refurbish them as a small concept EP, with new mixing and mastering.

So... enjoy this gloomy trip, fellow listeners!

In Too Deep

Music inspired by the dystopian futures of Blade Runner, I Robot and all the wonderful Science Fiction of the Past and Future.

Svartsinn was asked to contribute a song for the desibel project which is a part of Norway's biggest festival "Øyafestivalen" in 2016. As I was already working on a new album I chose to make a track with a theme that could fit in with the album concept. This is the desibel project version of the song. A slightly different version will appear on the album.  The song image shows the speakers also known as Desibel. (The worlds biggest mobile speakers). Mastered by Simon Heath at Cryo Chamber.

Wicked Meadows

Raison d'être formed in 1991 as a tool of expression with the goal of self-realization. Behind the project is the highly respected and multitalented sound artist Peter Andersson. For almost two decades now, and with a vast number of CD releases on the Cold Meat Industry label, raison d'être have been supplying listeners with overwhelming dark ambient industrial landscapes of beauty and sorrow. Listening to raison d'être is like a lucid journey into the dark hidden domains of your inner self. But this is not all. Peter Andersson host not only one but up to nine other projects representing different sides and sounds of the Andersson character. The most well known except for raison d'être are Stratvm Terror, Necrophorus, Bocksholm and Atomine Elektrine.
