Dark Ambient
Coagulant – The Typhonian Experiments
Coagulant hail from Uruguay, a country not known for a deep experimental music scene. This release, however, should attract attention to those who enjoyed those ritualistic post-Industrial music cassettes of the 1980s. There’s a heavy B-movie soundtrack vibe to this release mixed with electroacoustic music. Quite enjoyable.
Destruktionsanstalt – Kaelder Mug
Per Najbjerg Odderskov is an artist I enjoyed featuring over at my old blog, and I’m pleased to hear he has a new release out. It is as dark, heavy and claustrophobic (and yes, that’s a good thing for this genre of music) as his best works. The gloomy feel Continue Reading
Studnia – Oddtech
Studnia are a duo out of Poland amd Bulgaria who tie together quite a few disparate influences seamlessly, mixing IDM and Illbient Music with a dark ambient and post-Industrial feel, all while maintaining a beat you want to move to.
Lappländer & Ancylus – Veden Varaan
Lappländer & Ancylus are a project hailing from Finland. According to their bio, both Janne Lappalainen (Lappländer) and Visa Uotila (Ancylus) have over two decades of history working in electronic music. This is quite a powerful listen. It reminds me of mid-period Tangerine Dream under the cavernous influence of Steve Continue Reading
Bolduchin – Shellac
It’s impressive to hear when those who work outside of music under normal circumstances bring their talents into music, especially of a dark ambient variety. Giacomo Triglia, who works under the name Bolduchin, provides a bleak, yet very lively soundtracks to the horrible dreams we all have now and then. Continue Reading
Cernichov – The Mold Legacy
Today’s choice, Cernichov, bear cover art on their album, The Mold Legacy, which would fool one into thinking that this was some sort of black-metal release. Far from it. It’s actually a very well-balance pairing of noise and ambient music. It’s as if a post-punk band were working with the Continue Reading
Various Artists – Silber Records: Droneuary 2021
Silber Records has released their wonderful Droneuary series to begin 2019 and 2020, and they are continuing the tradition in 2021. Though it is still early in the year, wait until mid-February to see this series completed. If you enjoy drone, dark ambient and experimental music, this comp will keep Continue Reading
Nihil Impvlse – Stasis
Though I am not sure exactly where Nihil Impvlse hail from in Italy, I can rest assured that Raffaele Pezzella of Eighth Tower Records and his own project Sonologyst will ensure the quality of such music. Nihil Impvlse are quite a pleasant surprise for noise or drone music. This sounds Continue Reading
