CYCLIC LAW PRESS: "Active in the mid ’90s, Croatia’s TeHÔM has been resurrected by original member Miljenko Rajakovic. Their first two albums were released on Twilight Command, side label of Douglas P’s NER label. TeHÔM’s founding member Sinisa Ocurscak unfortunately passed away in 1997. Three years after his passing, their second album "Theriomorphic Spirits",  thought to be their last, was finally released. The project was then laid to rest and now, years later, has been finally revived. A very surreal, obscure, and cinematic-sounding opus has been created by Miljenko, following closely in the footsteps of previous works but taking the project to new levels."

The Shadow Integration [from "Theriomorphic Spirits" CD Album]

"This project comes from the fog, the cutting wind of the mountain cliffs, the misterious silence, from the mythological dream. Ancestral landscapes evoked by hypnotic, abstract and organic soundscapes."

BIOGRAPHY:
As such, it was very much appropriate, that one grey autumn day, back in 1988, lifelong student and author of works in the fields of philosophy and religion, Sinisa ‘’Charlie’’ Ocurscak, gave the name TeHÔM, to his own musical project, which would help him to further express his own research in the philosophy of religion through the medium of music. The dreams of one thus became the dream of many. His unique artistic vision embedded with deep respect, knowledge and a background in diverse cultures, religions and traditions became a foundation stone for other artists to come, in the decades to follow.

Sinisa Ocurscak was a professor of Philosophy at the prestigious ‘’Jesuit College of Philosophy’’ (part of University of Zagreb, Croatia) in Zagreb and editor of the book "The problem of mind and body in contemporary philosophy".  Always at his side, from the early beginnings, as an integral part of TeHÔM stood Miljenko Rajakovic.  Rajakovic himself was the only possible match for the creative genius of Ocurscak with whom he had worked on another project bearing the name Principia Audiomatica; the result was an album with the title ‘’Systematic Sonority’’ for renowned italian label Minus Habens Records.

From its early years on and subsequent release of TeHÔM’s first album ‘’Despiritualisation of Nature’’ in 1996, the project’s patron became no one else than Douglas Pearce, founding member of Death in June. TeHÔM released its first album on Pearce’s own label Twilight Command / New European Recordings sublabel, with steady distribution from World Serpent label. Later after the demise of World Serpent label, Tesco Distribution, took on to become its underground music torchbearer.

Rajakovic was already an accompished sound engineer and DJ and would later become even more renown for founding two record labels. It was this pairing and unity through which Rajakovic assisted Ocurscak to produce the legendary sophomore album ‘’Theriomorphic Spirits’’ which was released 3 years after the sad passing of Sinisa Ocurscak in 1997. The album achieved worldwide acclaim from both music critics and listeners alike thus becoming the cult album of its genre.

TeHÔM was the first ever, Croatian Dark Ambient music project of its time and one of Europe’s mainstays and purveyors in the sophisticated Dark Ambient music scene.  The project was forced into early retirement following the tragic passing of its founder Sinisa Ocurscak who died due to a cancer related illness in 1997..  It is most likely, yet never officially confirmed, that his tragic death was related to Ocurscak’s involvement in the Croatian Homeland War for Independence, where Sinisa was a frontline soldier.

Retirement to the dark depths of Chaos was hard to take for fans and listeners alike.
There was indeed a very long wait, interspersed with a shadow of ominous silence, from its second and now only surviving assisting member Rajakovic, who still under the influence and shock of the death of his fellow friend and colleague, had chosen to retire to isolation. It was a hard cross to bear even for such an accomplished musician, artist and sound engineer as Rajakovic.

"AN UNDENIABLE FORCE HAS BEEN RESURRECTED"

In 2010 after a long period spent in an almost Samadhi like state in his inner refugium, Rajakovic emerged again, revitalized and reborn from the depths of Chaos to unleash his new creation on listeners and fans alike. TeHÔM, yet again was thus reborn from the celestial and primordial sources of Chaos, with all its powers, ready to unleash their new aural output on us.

The project which has been dormant for many years was finally revived and resurrected, more than a decade later, with a new 3rd album "Lacrimae Mundi" released by respected music connoisseur label Cyclic Law Records, in May 2014.  A very surreal, obscure, and cinematic-sounding opus has been created by Rajakovic following closely in the footsteps of previous works yet taking the project to new levels.

TeHÔM is now back after a long silence. The eternal Abyss is awoken once again, as the primordial flood of Chaos awaits to penetrate the innermost parts of your soul.

TeHôM, a Hebrew word signifying primeval waters over which darkness was superimposed. It characterizes chaos materially as a watery primeval element, but at the same time gives a dimensional association, "sea of chaos" or cosmic abyss. This Hebrew word for primeval flood probably has a linguistic affinity with Tiamat, the Babylonian dragon of chaos. Symbolically, TeHôM responds to the Babylonian concept of APSU, which also signifies precreational waters of chaos. APSU and TeHôM are symbols of aquatic chaos, a shapeless modality of cosmic matter and the world of the dead, everything that precedes life and follows after it. TeHôM signifies a state of virtual existence, it is the "materia prima" in the sense of pure potential (potentia pura). Also it is the matriarchal pre-world overtaken by male patriarchy.

TeHôM further points to a collective unconscious whose amorphous structure was projected through first cosmogony myths into the outer world as an archetype of primordial water, an undifferentiated state, out of which merges a world, i.e. conscious ego, under which TeHôM (or the unconscious) always remains as an immense stratum. Mr. Gerhard Von Rad says about it: "Man has always suspected that behind all creation lies the abyss of formlessness; that all creation is ready to sink into the abyss of the formless; that the chaos, therefore, signifies simply the threat to everything created." But this dangerous side of the story does not cover the whole dimension of TeHôM, because TeHôM is dark and perilous depth of everything existing, but also the creative potential of limitless power. Daring to enter TeHôM i.e. Tiamat and kill the beast, as Marduk did in the Babylonian myth of creation, signifies the individuals' courage and wisdom to face all of the negative contentswhich bind his being. 

MILJENKO: "I have reactivated this Dark Ambient Ritual and Experimental project to continue the legacy and preserve the memory of my dear friend Siniša Očuršćak (TeHôM member '88 - RIP '97) whose premature death has left a large gap in the hearts of Dark Ambient fans worldwide."
