Doom Arisen
Cassette release: Long form ambient hypnodrone, heavy hollow distant distortion smoothed with long decay reverb, spooky, maritime lost in a storm at sea with monsters and ghosts of drowned sailors clawing at the decaying hull. RIYL Nadja, Tauusk, Wolves in the Throne Room. I think this is Scandinavian; only info online i could find is: “Frozen solid ambient inspired by Scandinavian landscapes and perverted with elements of crust and black metal. Sounds like an icy wind howling while shadows dance in haunted symphony. Doom has arisen in the pitch black winters of 2023, in Tromsø, Arctic Norway, where Θ tormented cold hard electronics to push out this result. There no gods here. No masters survived. Abandon all hope.”
All instrumental FCC clean. Pick any, all great.
1 (6:14) very looong fade-in to a drone that evolves crashing tones that are quiet yet disturbing 2)* (6:43) a long looped balm with mildly melodic themes, big and hollow and spooky 3) (5:58) a subliminal locked groove skip under gigantic washes of tone 4)* (6:09) low tone with heartbeat, howling ships horn calls plaintively, useless, lonely 5)* (6:42) rising and falling swells of distorto drone with a plaintive high pitched wail 6) (6:17) quiet pensive 7) (6:04) huge, swirling 8) (6:13) quiet calm start, evolves to a complex balm
