A bleak storytelling development
Coming from Iran, Xerxes The Dark (aka Morego Dimmer) is working steadily on its own path, discreet but productive, continuously exploring the vibrant and outrageously darkened crevasses of ambient music.
The production consists mainly of digital releases with occasional physical items signed on the key dark ambient label Cryo Chamber (mostly in collaboration with other projects of the label, reviewed on Igloo, Abysmal is one highly qualified release). Anxiety, fear, mortality and insecurity are omnipresent in this new gloomy-esque synthscaping opus. Sparse and detached melodious fragments are submerged by a wall of drones and ambivalent sounding structures within a convincing and windy cinematic cradle engulfed in a sepulcral dreary mood. Eerily inflected synthesizers meet micro sounds and a vast array of processed noises to operate a bleak storytelling development.
Recommended for fans of Archon Satani, Nocturnal Emissions, early Lustmord and Foundation Hope (among others) but also Sabled Sun, Northaunt for the most soothing, nostalgic and icy ambient direction.
Final Crisis is available on Zāl. [Bandcamp]
