“Atmospheric, haunting, and mesmerizing, this session captures the essence of winter as both a force of nature and a realm of imagination.”
From the depths of dark ambient desolation: Arcane Synthetic's A New Era & Nothing More: Part I delivers cinematic industrial abrasion and dark ambient landscapes exploring the psychological aftermath of transformation — immersion, not passive listening. John Reidar Holmes' The Ground Grows Hungry For Us weaves songs of life and death, magic and the empirical, while GhostN3rve's Transgression captures crimson thickets and hollow rites — performed entirely live, captured as it unfolded. Monolithic Aeons offers a definitive archive of crushing feedback-laden drones and funeral-pace riffage, and Fangorn's Northern Kingdoms trawls England's north for the finest dungeon synth the country has to offer.
“Atmospheric, haunting, and mesmerizing, this session captures the essence of winter as both a force of nature and a realm of imagination.”
“Inspired by the myth of Storm-Maker Red Horse, this album channels dark ambient soundscapes to evoke the primal power of tornadoes and tempestuous skies.”
