    Aun – Fiat Lux
    Label: Cyclic Law ‎– 76th Cycle, La Esencia ‎– LER013/2015
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Black with white/blue splatter
    Country: Canada
    Released: 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental

    AUN’s music as always suggested forays into other dimensions, be it to imaginary worlds, industrial wastelands, through space and time, or via mind altered states. From the ominous dystopian artwork, of a city being drained of its energy by some mysterious black hole, to the first notes of the title track “Fiat Lux” we are once again transported on AUN’s otherworldly travelling path. Ever since the space industrial and power electronics of AUN’s previous Cyclic Law cult release “Black Pyramid”, the world has become even more sinister, but in contrast, “Fiat Lux” exudes even more of AUN’s melancholic hopefulness. The disintegrating chords and densely textured waves, anchored by a left field industrial pulse, invoke occult drug enhanced, future psychedelia. Created in part in their Montreal studio, these tracks were extensively performed live, prior to recording, and refined while on tour breaks in Montpellier, Barcelona and Tokyo. The energy of these cities is definitely at work in these recordings, which also features a French connection of experimental heavy hitters: Witxes, Frédéric D. Oberland and Philippe Petit have helped round out Dumais and Leblanc’ arsenal. FIAT LUX: Let there be light, from light will come darkness.

    The Joy Of Nature – The Empty Circle, Part I: Swirling Lands Of Disquiet And Catharsis

    noviembre 11, 2017

    The Joy Of Nature – The Empty Circle, Part I: Swirling Lands Of Disquiet And Catharsis
    Label: Ahnstern ‎– Ahnstern31
    Format: CD
    Country: Austria
    Released: May 2008
    Style: Dark Ambient, Acoustic, Experimental

    The Joy of Nature is a multimedia project from the Azores, with music as its main focus.
    Musically, “The Joy of Nature” is like a serpent always renewing itself – never resting in one shape, changing the form but keeping the same essence.
    “Swirling Lands of Disquiet and Catharsis” is the first part of a trilogy entitled “The Empty Circle”.
    Each part of the trilogy has a correspondence with the three main hermetic-alchemical phases: Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo and, at the same time and correspondingly, to individual experience, inheritance of our ancestors and, finally, the overcoming of a mere individual state of existence.
    This first part corresponds to Nigredo.
    The subtitle of this work – “A Theatre lost in The Vast Abyss of Starry Skies” came in a lucid dream in which appeared the idea that this world in which we live our day-to-day lives can be compared to a small theatre in a vast abyss of starry skies.
    This album is about a world of disquiet, in which a catharsis should be done.
    To gather the impurities, realize their nature and build something pure from there.

    There are elements of Folk, Ambient, Psychedelic and Experimental music, mixed in a coherent way, creating a unique sound and a breathtaking atmosphere, predominantly acoustic and with dark tones.

    Trepaneringsritualen ‎– Yours Is A Kingdom Of Death

    octubre 30, 2017

    Trepaneringsritualen ‎– Yours Is A Kingdom Of Death
    Label: Old Europa Cafe ‎– OECD 244
    Format: CD, Compilation
    Country: Italy
    Released: Jul 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient, Industrial

    This is unification!
    Two sides from split LPs — with Body Cargo, and Deathstench respectively — joined into the whole they were always meant to be.

    »Yours Is A Kingdom of Death« is an exercise in somber slow-moving death chants, ritualistic in appearance and in intent. A renunciation of the created world; a glorification of the New Man; he who is beyond life and death, existing as pure flame alit in eternal void.
