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.

Peace Of Mind

The Boats

3 veteran producers in the genre, Apocryphos, Kammarheit & Atrium Carceri, collaborate on this behemoth of an album. Each utilizing each others strengths to bring forth a dark and emotional ride through distant memories. 

Onyx is a soundscape journey related to the reflection of dispirited memories and obscure sorrows felt by mankind. With the multitude of techniques used by each artist, it also reflects the rich history of the dark ambient genre and how it has progressed through the decades. 

The signature analogue darkness of gargantuan caves of Kammarheit is combined with the sacral and emotional layering of Apocryphos and the rhytmical bass throbbing and isolated pianos of Atrium Carceri. 

This album was created by cross linking 3 studios in Oregon (US), Pennsylvania (US) and Umeå(Sweden). It took over 3800 lines of studio notes to finalize the album.

Cathedron

Dark Father

"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.
Edition of 1000 copies in 6 panel Digipack. 8 Tracks. Running Time 51:.40
