Beyond the Ghost presents his third album in the Europa Series, a futuristic, bleak and moving sound voyage that merges electronics and acoustics

Rome, the year is 2062. The whole of Europe has been falling apart for 2 years now. No one is quite sure what war even means at this point. In Rome, a few dozen soldiers of The Alliance fight against small groups of citizens who joined the resistance. Those who are too scared just hide away in bombed-out houses, starving to death, losing their mind. A city that was once beautiful has become the stage for an absurd tragedy of power struggles gone awry. As the sun sets over the Colosseum, a few gunshots and screams echo in the dead of night, the final tremors of a derelict world crumbling to nothingness.

No Way Out of This Maze

God Body Disconnect presents his 7th solo album, Spiral of Grief. An introspective journey through a world of melancholia, where haunting questions of mortality and madness form the path.

B.M. Journal Entry 05/14/XXXX
I’m lost. I can’t find who I am anymore. The threshold of sanity has been crossed so many times, I don’t know if I’ll ever make it back. I feel like my nose is hovering just above the waterline. I’m tired of frantically thrashing my legs to keep afloat, but there’s no choice, because below awaits the abyss. Its’ immense power keeps pulling me toward the darkness like a magnet. I know what’s down there. I’ve been there before, and I don’t ever want to go back. But, the wolves of hell have been sent to devour me, and there’s no calling them off. I wonder how long I can last…

For fans of post-rock atmospheres layered in lush sonic textures and the darkest melancholy

From the forgotten vaults of Mors Univera to Grey Light Shade, and the opening years his debut naked record.

Ashes Drown the Streets

Dead Melodies presents us his new dark ambient noir album Murken Hollow

What actually happened that cold and misty November remained a mystery, but the cases were connected, that much was clear.

Ten murders across the city and a myriad of frankly surreal circumstances and evidence that made no sense. At each crime scene strange piles of singed black flakes surrounded a body laid out with no obvious cause of death. Nearby mirrors cast no reflection and looked like endless black pools of nothingness that almost hurt to look into. And in the pocket of each victim, a cryptic letter with inverted writing and a ticket stub from the sleepy town of Murken Hollow.

The detective poured the last dregs of a bottle into a coffee mug while drawing on a cigarette, a permanent look of despair wrinkled his brow. The dingy office was smoky and dark, half lit from the street lights beyond the frosted windows so the shadows hung long and moved with the traffic. On the wall an elaborate pin board littered in string and polaroids in an attempt to make sense of it all, but with no prints or sign of intruders the distant town of Murken Hollow was the only possible lead.

And then from under a pile of papers on the messy desk, the phone rang... Another murder.

CD and and Digital Download comes with a 16 page booklet

Murken Hollow

Forbidden

ProtoU & Oljus join forces on this Viking inspired dark ambient album. Ritual drumming and deep drone echo through dark forest and underground caves.

Welcome to the heart of the Nordic forests, where the rustling of leaves and the cool breeze fill your senses. You breathe in the rich, earthy scent of pine, as you survey the towering trees that surround you.

The night sky is a deep, velvet black, punctuated by the glimmering of stars. They cast a soft, ethereal light on the clearing, as if observing the mysterious events about to unfold.

The forest is alive with the sound of chanting, a distant hum, growing louder and more intense as it approaches. Drums join in and reverberate through your chest.

You watch, mesmerized, as the elders perform the ritual, their movements fluid and otherworldly. Their raspy voices rise in unison, the chanting builds to a fever pitch as they summon forth powers from beyond the veil.

The old gods watch from Valhalla to lend their blessings to fight new gods that smell of flowers, and not mead.

Svartsinn - Untitled (A Tribute to Zdzislaw Beksinski)

Locked out from the Illusion, this album takes place entirely in our former home. The darkened sky and gargantuan citadels line the horizon as the endless city, we once ruled as gods, stretches as far as the eye can see. Crossing the sea of the dead in search for a Beacon of Light that can lead the expedition to uncover the truth about the factions in control, what happened to the long lost architect and how to open a portal back into the colorful illusion the ignorant call home. 

This 11 track Atrium Carceri album is closely connected to The Untold and sheds more light unto what goes on in the Atrium Carceri universe and the Metropois in particular. An industrial, dark, distorted and cinematic experience unlike any other with amazing attention to detail and subtle layering, this album begs for repeated listening to take it all in.

Svartsinn - Devouring Consciousness

Council of Nine returns with his third album on Cryo Chamber. 

Trinity is a touching, personal and enlightening album from Maximillian Olivier. In a genre where most keep their personal life to themselves, Maximillian opens his heart for all to see. 

"This is my catharsis. The many stages of grief and the acceptance of loss, deeply personal, unforgiving, cold and painful. This is the story of the greatest loss I have suffered, the death of my mother. This marks the end of a chapter and the closure I was desperately seeking." 

Blending atmospheric sound layering with a harmonic palette it drifts between dark and light. Walls of sound collide with echoing strums, drones wash over endless shores. 

Recommended for lovers of melancholic dark ambient

Said about Svartsinn:
“Like a nautical ghost story painted without words, Norway’s Svartsinn weaves a foreboding electronic soundtrack to serve as fuel for vivid nightmares.” 
from the Re:Gen Magazine 
“Svartsinn has achieved an impressive aural document that transports the listener out of the mundane depositing the unsuspecting in a dark domain filled with writhing dark ambient music” 
- from Heathen Harvest 
“Jan Roger Pettersen keeps on feeding the paths and landscapes of his own imagination with an infinite process of constant renovation, which means a dynamic variety of sounding shapes over a static general vein. There is not a single space for distraction; he always obliges the listener to be immersed without a single pause within the great scope of its own music”
