This tremendous and tranced-out tribal ambient manifest can make an original soundtrack for those who want to be physically immersed in the esoteric philosophy of modern days wizards such as Alan Bennett.
Thrilling and shimmering dark sonic atmospheres
Cyclic Law inaugurates this new year with a batch of epic and eerily doom-scaping materials. Pleased to see that a new Tehom has been released, will definitely satisfy most demanding followers of subterranean dark ambient music. However, this enigmatic Unruh by Grande Loge, definitely catches my attention. After an album published years ago by Cyclic Law and titled Mantra, the project is back on the forefront with a new musical offer of great and cryptical quality.
This project is a side and joint creative adventure formed by members of extreme black metal bands Malepeste and Tower of Silence. The project clearly belongs to the nebulous of mystical-heathen ambient folk bands but with an emphasis on thrilling and shimmering dark sonic atmospheres that will convince listeners of industrial dark (ambient) music with no necessary inclination for the ritualistic neo-shamanic vein. Incantatory voices, narratives and sparse screaming punctuate the gloomy textural soundscapes and obsessional tribal drums. Raging ceremonial moments alternate more quiet contemplative estates. This tremendous and tranced-out tribal ambient manifest can make an original soundtrack for those who want to be physically immersed in the esoteric philosophy of modern days wizards such as Alan Bennett.
In between materials published by Aural Hypnox, Quorton (Bathory), Aghast, Blood Axis and Paleowolf or Sephiroth—for the Northern, primordial and grimy ambient-ish quality). A noxious and mystically embalming soundscaping odyssey.
Unruh is available on Cyclic Law. [Bandcamp]
