Robert C. Kozletsky previously on Cryo Chamber with the ONYX collaboration is back with a solo album, Stone Speak. A warm, dark and subtle but complex drone experience awaits. 

Stone Speak is an album relating to the quintessential question…what lies beyond the borders of mortality? 

With Robert trekking to alluring ghost towns, cemeteries and sites of old Indian burial grounds to capture field recordings, the atmosphere of Stone Speak is ripe with subtle tension and melancholy. 

Stone Speak features a special collaboration track, Clandestine, with Dutch dark ambient producer Kave

released June 28, 2016 

Written, Performed, Produced - Robert C. Kozletsky 
Artwork & Mastering - Simon Heath

Compilation track taken from V.A. VI Congresso Post Industriale CD. Released 2009. 

INADE Kybalion

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.

Echoes Of Silent Cries (Jukai)

The fourth album from the Sabled Suns 21xx series, about a man in Hibernation waking up to a world in ruins, takes us through the fourth year 2148. 

The album starts with our Protagonist finding The Ark. It takes us through robot filled chasms, overgrown laboratories, uplink stations and deteriorated civilization. 

Field Recordings combine with distant Piano and dusty Strings. Cavernous Drone with throbbing bass. Our robotic children's voices pleads to not leave them behind.

Sabled Sun - Overgrown

Flowers for Bodysnatchers - Fall The Night (EP). Download from BandCamp. 
https://flowersforbodysnatchers.bandcamp.com/album/fall-the-night

Available in 24 bit.

Fall The Night is an EP Inspired by Nathan Hassall's illustrated poetry chapbook, The Flesh and Mortar Prophecy. Nathan Hassall leads the way where few are willing to go, deep into the mind's Dark Sanctuary. All-knowing doctors, schizophrenic demons and apocalyptic visions are all part of the process within the confines of flesh. Once entered, there is no way to unlearn the awakened chimeras of the self.

They Dwell in Factories 

Victim to passion’s redundancy 
men are put away, 
scarred from life’s leash. 

unable to control their beasts 
they weep on their bellies 
obedient and still 
scattered between crumbled walls 
in tattered clothes. 

depraved minds trick themselves 
that sanity is beyond 
the ruin. 

they whimper like padlocked dogs.

Fall The Night

They Dwell In Factories

Ugasanie is back with a new album focused on the people of the Tundra and the North. 

The Nenets, Tungus, Eveneki, Yakut share many beliefs and in the center stands the shaman. We follow him through his inner journey while tackling shaman's disease. Clouded consciousness and hysterical stupor clear signs of the Amanita Mushroom. His sweat covered body feverish while pulled to the lower world of spirit. Here his weathered body cut and torn to pieces by the spirits who cook and devour it. Meanwhile in the dim lit hut the shamans body starts bruising while the tribe watches over him. Reborn, the Shaman awakens, granted powers to traverse between worlds. With the gift to cure his tribe of sickness, to control animals and commune with the spirits. 

Ugasanie is a true master of polar ambient. For lovers of cold ambience, this album is a must have. 

Available in 24 bit FLAC

Another Earth

Sasha further explores the themes of her first collaboration album Earth Songs. While her album "Khmaoch" explored the roots of civilization, "The Edge of Architecture" probes into the future of the modern age. 

Black gigantic buildings loom over our hubris as we reach for the unnatural with each new brick in the wall. The night reeks of dark fluid as flickering neon lights reflect on wet streets. Winds howl over a jungle of steel and shadows of automated builders creak in the distance. 

Field recordings blend with deep drone and ethereal overlays on this immersive album. For lovers of Sasha's unique style of cold and warm ambient blended together into an emotional ride.

The Edge of Architecture

ProtoU - Glass Fractals

Scorpio V - Heremus. Taken from "Chants From the Inner Monastery" full album. Available at: https://scorpiov.bandcamp.com
Scorpio V is an artistic entity and creative force behind Metatron Omega, Paleowolf, Gaetir the Mountainkeeper, and a few other vessels of sonic landscape. This album is a manifestation of an intimate and personal inner journey, in search for the authentic Self and the Gnosis behind the veil of cosmic matter. Atmospheric monastic, gregorian chants are sung upon meditative and ethereal soundscape, while ritualistic drums pound in the rhythm the Universe's heartbeat. The sacred work from the monastery buried deep into the core of Being is projected outwards and illuminates the path towards greater knowledge.

Scorpio V - Heremus

Finally, we see Robert C. Kozletsky return with a dreary and guitar driven follow up to 2016's Stone Speak. Against Civilization is where Robert takes a different sonic path. Vastly different from past releases, but still wrapped in the solemn sound Apocryphos is known for.

Civilization is a curse. Your head hangs heavy in the windowpane as you gaze upon the dregs of society. It soon collapses and nature turns feral. Those desperate to cling to their hollow idols fall silent, eyes sunken. They are not there. They have abandoned us. They are against civilization...

Features stark and captivating artwork by Erik Osvald and a 12 page booklet with extended artwork and text emphasizing the turmoil within the music. Close friend and fellow collaborator Pär Bostrom (Kammarheit, Cities Last Broadcast, Hymnambulae) makes an appearance on two tracks.

Recommended for long nights, rainy days and fans of cold and emotional soundscapes

Against Civilization

Bandcamp

A Feral Nature

Heartsick

Dead Melodies and Zenjungle join forces on this dark noir ambient album

Far beneath the lofty empire of steel and brick, a perpetual blanket of darkness reigns harbouring mankind's darkest sins. And amidst this grotesque illusion of grandeur, in which the elitist grip ever tightens, the forsaken's demons awake from their slumber wreaking havoc in the eternal shadow. Man's greatest creation and ruin rolled into one in an endless labyrinth of forgotten secrets, unsolved mysteries and stories that are yet to be told.

Step into the haze of the low lying smog and lose yourself in these noir tales from the darkest corners of the city, courtesy of Dead Melodies and Zenjungle.

Recommended for fans of Dark Ambient Noir Jazz

Anthropocene

Wisp

The Book

Mount Shrine presents us an album filled with radio chatter and warm drones layered on cold textures.

Your shortwave radio crackles with life as it rests on your heavy backpack. It follows your every step across the rough terrain as you narrow your search for the abandoned station. It is up here, far from civilization that the answers linger, lost for years as the stations self sustainability has kept it alive.

Recommended for fans of sedative ambient and for drifting into a place of comfort.
